Mossy lawns

Posted by Graham Taylor on March 20, 2026 at 10:41pm

Just took on a new customer and their lawn is absolutely terrible........... so much moss that I'm not even sure there's any grass there!  Anyway, they want me to scarify the moss out... thats no problem but I've pointed out that it will look awful afterwards. Really don't want to spend a lot of time or expense on this one... in fact I wish I'd not taken it on lol.   Now I'm no lawn expert.........  in an ideal world, I'd just say to rip up the lot and returf it but they don't want the expense of that option.    Will I get away with just overseeding all the bare patches with the seed just lying on the surface? I can set the scarifier so that bare soil will be exposed.  In the past, I've only had to deal with small areas, I've mixed bagged topsoil with seed and spread on bare patches but this is too big an area for that.
