How to Remove Dead Moss From a Lawn
- 1). Rake the surface of the lawn, starting at one corner and working your way across the entire lawn. In most cases, a traditional garden rake is effective, but you may find that a wide-tooth rake combs through the grass easier. Continue raking the lawn until you have raked up all of the dead moss.
- 2). Put on gloves and a face mask. Pick up the dead moss and place it into a trash bag for disposal. If there is a large amount of dead moss, use a shovel to scoop it up.
- 3). Mow the lawn very short, so that the grass blades are no higher than 1 inch tall.
- 4). Purchase grass seed and consult the packaging for the proper amount to apply for your size lawn. Use the amount listed for over-seeding, not a full lawn application.
- 5). Place the proper amount of grass seed into a seed spreader. Walk across the lawn while turning the hand crank on the spreader to dispense the grass seed.
- 6). Water the grass seed with 1/2 inch of water daily until germination occurs.
