Tips for Getting Rid of Moss

Got moss? This year's wet spring has been making it difficult to perform regular lawn maintenance on many lawns. It has also provided the perfect environment for moss to grow.

Here are some quick tips to limit moss growth in your lawn:

•  Limit watering in areas that receive less than 4 hours of sun per day.

• If puddles occur, use aeration to fix soil compaction. That will allow room for the roots to breathe and the water to penetrate.

• Use sunlight as a gauge for adjusting zones in your sprinkler system. The more sun, the more water.

• Limb trees to allow more sunlight on moss-covered areas.
