Q&A – How do I get rid of moss
in my lawn?

Question:
How do I get rid of moss in my lawn?
​​
Answer:

Moss grows where the soil has poor drainage, shade and the wrong soil pH for grass. UT Extension Agent Booker T. Leigh explains that you need to make the soil conditions better for grass. He makes several recommendations to reduce the moss. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper lists some chemicals that can be used for temporary moss control, but he recommends changing the growing conditions to favor grass.
