A spell of drought or very wet weather can trigger moss growth, but there could be a few extra reasons why it’s decided to move in:
Lawn moss is a very common problem for gardeners. It can be caused by many different factors such as drought or waterlogging. There are two different ways you can get rid of the moss in your lawn.
The simplest way to tackle moss is to rake it out using a scarifying machine. Moss doesn’t have long roots so this simply teases out the plants. However, it is a good idea to follow through with a moss killer. It's best to do it this way round because scarifying opens up the dense moss and allows the moss killer to penetrate to the very bottom of the moss plants. If you do this, any remaining moss will die and turn black which you can then rake out.
If you don't want to scarify your lawn then a combined lawn feed, weed and moss treatment will deal with your problem and improve the overall look of your lawn. Remember after treating with a moss killer the moss in your lawn will go black. This means the moss has died and should be raked out to prevent it coming back.
There are two different ways you can get rid of weeds in your lawn, manually and with weed killers. We can help you select the best methods and tools for the job.
The Fiskars weed puller is really easy to use, in just three simple steps you can remove weeds such as dandelions from your lawn.

If your lawn contains lots of weeds then applying a lawn weedkiller can help. There are two types of product available.
N.B. with both types of treatment the weeds can take several weeks to die. Some weeds may grow quickly at first and then become twisted prior to dying. Maximum weed control will take 3-5 weeks.
