My front yard has 2 huge maple trees and the last couple of years am having more and more moss. What should I do tp het rid of it?
My yard is heavily shaded and starting to be very thin. I live in Kentucky. I plan to rent a power seeder this Spring. Looking for suggestions on what seed I should use.

iron sulfate will kill it.

Depending on how much light the ground sees under the trees limit your options on what grass to use. Being on the warm season side I would suggest Zoysia as it tolerates shade better than most warm season grasses but you would probably be better off with a cool season grass like fescue.

@Jim Cahoe Welcome to TLF. I think for your weather, you should look into the the cool season folder.

Moss is normally the visual indicator of a drain/moisture problem. Iron sulfate and even Dawn dish soap will kill it, but it will come back until you address the moisture problem. How is the grading around the trees? Could something be done to drain the water away from this area?
