Should I let moss grow in my yard?

• <div><p>The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. </p></div>

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Mowing is very good for your grass. It encourages the grass to grow back thicker and healthier. Keeping a lawn thick and healthy will also block out weeds that could stop grass from growing. Cutting your grass on a regular schedule will ensure your lawn continues to grow healthier with each season.

Here are some questions you should ask lawn mowing companies before hiring one to service your lawn:

How long have you been in business?
Are you licensed and fully insured?
Do you collect and haul away cut grass or mulch it and leave it behind?
Do you provide add-on services other than lawn mowing?
Do you plan to use herbicides and pesticides?
If I run into an issue with service, what does the resolution process look like?

Always do a poop sweep before mowing your lawn. Running your mower over dog waste can be messy, unsanitary, and smelly, and it can spread the poop to other parts of your lawn. Plus, you won’t be able to get it out of the grass (or the mower blades) easily.

In general, cool-season grasses such as fescue grass, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia grass don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.
