Protect Your Lawn from Moss


Your lawn can die during the summer, because of the dry weather. Although in the winter it is threatened too, because of the birds. When the moss is all over the lawn it chokes out the grass and it is not good for the environment. Moss can cause very dangerous damages. Main reason for them is the compact of the soil surface, mowing the grass too much, too much shade and etc.
Unfortunately if the drainage is poor the moss will start to spread more. You might remove the moss with moss killers, but you have to improve the growing conditions, otherwise the moss will come back on your lawn.
There is one thing, which will help you to burn out the moss. It's name is lawnsand and you can apply it at any time of the year. You can also use mercerised lawn sand, but its effect is slower. It kills the spores of the moss, from which new moss plants are formed. Cleaners Sydney recommend to use liquid moss killers. They contain anthracite oil.
Attention! To improve the drainage you have to eliminate compaction of the soil surface. If you want to prevent moss from returning feed the grass.
Following these tips you will be able to remove the moss and your lawn will be protected, for longer period of time. In this case it is not necessary to call Sydney cleaning company.
