Most lawns will contain moss at some time or other, but you can reduce the spread by a few simple lawn maintenance steps.
Here in the UK we love our close-cropped lawns, but they provide the ideal environment for moss. Simply raising the height of your lawnmower blades will work wonders. As will regular aeration, cutting back of overhanging plants/trees and improved drainage.
Moss can be killed and even where the problem is severe, an area can be reclaimed. I will be happy to advise you on a suitable programme for your lawn.
Lawns have to be tough to withstand being walked on, mown and even rained on. All of these can cause compaction, reducing the penetration of air, water and nutrients to the root zone.
To combat this I would recommend aeration. I carry out two types of aeration – solid tine and hollow tine. I check the compaction level and advise on the most suitable method.
Aeration is a process in which thousands of holes are created in the lawn’s surface, allowing air, water and nutrients better access to the roots. Solid tine opens the soil without removing a core, causing minimal stress to the turf. Hollow tine involves removing a core of soil, which I then rake up and bag for you; however, this can cause stress to the turf.
Aeration increases the rooting depth of grass, increases the rate at which the soil breaks down thatch and improves the effectiveness of fertilisation. This treatment can be carried out at any time of year, weather permitting.
Top dressing is a highly effective way of improving the soil beneath your lawn. The application of a mix of minerals, including sand, silt and organic materials, helps to reduce thatch levels and improve drainage. You will also benefit from improved soil structure and better water and nutrient retention.
Top dressing can be carried out throughout the year. I will be happy to advise you on the appropriate type of top dressing for your soil.
