Moss Removal in Salem, Keizer & Turner
Moss doesn't push grass out. It fills in where grass is already struggling: shade, compacted or poorly drained soil, acidic soil and lawns mowed too short. Simply killing it each spring without fixing those conditions means it comes back every winter.
We treat moss while it's actively growing in the cool, wet months, rake out the dead material, and then overseed so grass takes the space back. Where it makes sense we'll suggest lime, aeration, thinning shade or improving drainage. We also clear moss from patios, walks and pavers.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my lawn keep getting moss?
Moss is a sign of conditions grass doesn't like: shade, compacted or wet soil, low pH or mowing too short. Removing the moss and fixing the cause together is what keeps it from returning.
When should moss be treated?
Late fall through early spring, while moss is green and actively growing. Raking and overseeding usually follow in spring or early fall.
