Moss is one of attributes of a wet cloudy environment...welcome to the Northwest! Seriously, most lawns that have moss problems are in areas that receive poor light such as northern exposures, near tall trees, etc. Moss will also thrive in nutrient deficient, compacted, poorly aerated or poorly drained soil.

A - Moss in a lawn is usually a cultural problem. Conditions such as too much shade, poor fertility, thatch build-up, soil compaction, and over-watering contribute to moss growth. The first step is to evaluate and correct any of these conditions. If chemical treatment is necessary for severe moss infestation, rake out as much moss as possible and apply a moss control product containing ferrous sulfate. Chemical control will be temporary unless underlying cultural conditions are corrected. See similar questions...

Answer: Spanish moss is an epiphyte that is related to the pineapple. It lives off the air, rain, and decaying organic matter, not the tree. Most often found in large oak trees, Spanish moss cannot kill a tree. Its biggest threat to the tree is because it can absorb large amounts of water and it's wet weight can cause branches to break. Spanish moss is used by wildlife. In the tree canopy it shelters rat snakes, bats, insects and other creatures and birds use it in nest building. See similar questions...

Answer: It depends on the type of lawn you have. Dethatching is done with either a machine rented from a rental shop or with specialized rakes that give the user a very good workout! Dethatching is done to remove excessive build up of plant materials that lies just beneath or just on top of the soil. The former are rhizomes and the later stolons. Stolons are stems that "creep" on top of the soil and rhizomes are underground stems. See similar questions...

Answer: To control weeds, you can over-seed your lawn twice a year (early spring & early fall) to help prevent weed growth. Mowing your lawn high (4-inches or more) shades out most weed seeds and prevents them from germinating, while also slowing growth (for less frequent mowing) and strengthening the immune system of the grass. Keeping your grass unstressed by providing proper light, water, and nutrients will produce a crop of very thick turf. See similar questions...

Answer: We follow City Code on this issue. The Parks and Recreation Department takes calls from concerned individuals about grass that is over 1' tall or weeds that are on a property that has not been properly maintained. A certified letter is sent to both the property owner and the occupant. A timeline is given for the situation to be remedied. If it is not, the Parks staff or a private contractor mows the area and the property owner is billed accordingly. Refer to City Code link http://city. See similar questions...
