My yard is quite shady and over the last three years the moss has taken over a third of the lawn.  Do you have any recommendations on how to get rid or moss?

Thanks...

Moss is a sign of acid soil and lots of water.  Have you soil pH tested and water less.

Also, if you fertilize enough, the grass should quickly outcompete the moss.

I also have moss on my front yard but there is no shade at all. It also is on a bit of a slope if that matters. Any ideas?

First:  test your pH.
