Moss Control

Our treatment controls moss on external hard surfaces such as footpaths, tennis courts, play areas, walls and driveways etc.  It is also suitable for all established lawn areas.

Moss usually has two growth periods during a year, the first in the autumn after which the plant produces spores during the winter ready to germinate in the spring. The second in the spring when the plant produces  spores again ready to germinate in the autumn again thus continuing the cycle.

Mosses, like most lawn weeds, primarily take advantage of bare areas but do not kill out existing grass as some people believe.

Bare areas in lawn can be result from several causes. Unsuitable grass varieties, poor drainage, drought, soil compaction, excessive shade, thatch accumulation, poor fertility, diseases, improper mowing and other cultural practices are common reasons for turf failure leading to moss or other weed problems.

Improving these factors to encourage thick, healthy grass is the key to long term prevention.

Grass should preferably be cut for 3 days before treatment and not again until 4 days after. A follow up treatment of vigorous Scarification should take place 2-3 weeks after treatment to remove the dead moss.
