Moss and weed control programmes

Moss control

Moss grows freely in damp and shady areas and can rapidly take over lawns if not treated. Regular feeding helps as the grass can out compete the moss and moisture control can help prevent the conditions in which moss thrives.

NB. Take care not to apply Landscaper Pro Moss Control to newly seeded or sodded lawn until it has been mowed four times. Brush or rinse particles from stone, cement, clothing and shoes to prevent staining.
