What is Moss?

Moss is a small, non-vascular plant that typically grows in damp or shady environments because of its limitations in processing water and nutrients.

Some homeowners like the look of moss for decorative purposes. But for most people, it’s a nuisance, as it can quickly take over a lawn.

What Causes Moss to Grow in My Lawn?

Moss thrives in damp, shaded, or compacted areas where grass struggles to grow. Poor drainage, low soil pH, or mowing too short can all encourage moss development.

How Do I Control Moss Growth in My Lawn?

At Weed Man, we have found the best moss control results come from treating the root cause of the infestation, then removing what’s present right now.

Our licensed and trained Weed Man lawn care professionals typically perform a moss control application (in the spring or fall). Once the moss turns black following the application, it must be raked up, and the bare areas should be renovated.

We may also recommend the following:

  • Prune trees to decrease shade and increase air flow.
  • Invest in core aeration to improve drainage in your yard.
  • Adjust your mowing height to meet or exceed 7.62 cm (3 inches).
  • Regular applications of our slow-release fertilizer to increase nitrogen levels.
Will Moss Control Kill the Grass?

No! Professional moss control products target only moss, leaving your healthy turf unharmed. In fact, removing moss gives your grass more room to spread and thrive.

What Should I Expect After Treatment?

Moss will gradually darken and dry out within a couple of weeks. Once it dies off, it can be gently raked away, and the lawn can be reseeded in bare spots for a fuller look.

Don’t let it grow! If you’re dealing with moss in your lawn, start by finding the Weed Man in your local area!



CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES

We have helped countless homeowners take their lawns from weedy to “Wow!”

Weed Man Scarborough, ON

This is my first year using a lawn service company for my weeds. I was skeptical at first but whatever they did to my lawn worked. The advice they gave me about what I could do to help keep the lawn looking great from watering to length of cut really helped. I had several people comment on how great it looked. I called in a few times with questions about my lawn care. By far the best customer service people I've dealt with in a long time. Great people. Highly recommend.

This team is great. What appears to be a quick come and gone application, is from experience and a good eye. The moss control and fertilizer application has greatly improved the rich green colour. The aeration and overseeding has filled in those mole hills from last year's damage. Tegjot has requested a second weed control spray to get that pesky buttercup under control. Nearly 20 year of neglect is a work in progress, but already looks so much better.. Thank you.

They provide timely updates on upcoming and completed services. A great company for lawn care.
