what area are you in? i'm in the north west and use 'Sherriff Amentiy' for all my lawn treatments. fantastic range of products for all purposes and seasons
I still use Lawn Sand.
I'm in East Anglia, I think I saw their website on a google search.
Can I suggest you just mulch it, I think it'll improve eventually. And keep your blades sharp.
You are joking I presume lol?

Youd be surprised - Mulching does keep moss down alot during the season - if done after scarification the moss retuns much weeker and less pervasive.

Consider this example...
The council always mulch, never feed, never apply moss-killer, and how much moss do you see on council-maintained areas?
Don't write it off as a possible solution for larger areas.

Sorry... there might be a bit of confusion in my mind between mulching and top-dressing here where I think of mulching as a thickish layer of compost etc being applied. Most, if not all, domestic customers would have a fit if you top-dressed their lawns every-time there was a moss problem and then they saw the bill lol!!..... agree, lawnsand can be applied but the mosskilling element of that, iron-sulphate, can easily and very cheaply be applied on its own or incorporated in a fertilizer..... I wouldn't have thought the amount of "sand" in the mix is really going to make any difference to the soil structure of the lawn.
With the reference to the council and their maintenance of "fine-turf" areas........... after 27 years with them (not something to be proud of I know!!!), these areas were always fertilized regularly with fertilizers incorporating a moss-killer. When I first started, they even used the mercury based mosskillers (noticed that those operatives have mostly died now!) and then Supermostox to control the moss. The other grassed areas.... parks, verges etc...... would never receive any treatment at all and as you say..... didn't see much moss.....though I suspect that might have been down to the grass being allowed to grow longer so you'd never notice the stuff. That was Harrow.... perhaps other councils are different?
