Heres why its there and what to do about it.

The truth is that moss is a symptom.
Moss can come and go, too.
Moss isnt going to kill your grass; its only filling in the spaces where grass is not growing.
The moss will be back when conditions are right.
Should I Use Chemicals To Kill Moss?
Once you kill the moss, youll also have an area of bare soil.
If you dont correct the underlying cultural conditions encouraging moss growth, the moss will be back.
Can You Leave Moss in Your Lawn?
Moss isnt noxious or invasive, so its not going to overtake your entire garden.
In fact, some people like the looks of it and wish it would cover more of their lawns.
Its honestly personal preference.
