If you live in an area with alkaline soil, growing moss may be difficult or impossible unless you first perform extensive soil amendment with a material that lowers the soil pH. Moss lawns grow best in acidic soil, where the pH is 6.0 or lower.Moss, while not as tender as most people think, is by no means as durable as a turfgrass lawn-especially a grass lawn planted with species aimed at holding up under heavy foot traffic or an active family that enjoys outdoor games, or one that has dogs that spend a lot of time in the yard.Most moss species prefer relatively shady conditions, and if you have a sunny lawn, it may be difficult to find a moss suitable for your region that performs well on a lawn.The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
