Moss can also be beautiful – it’s widely used in Japanese gardens to create velvety green carpets in damp or shady areas. Having a wide range of plants in your lawn increases its value to wildlife. Moss in a lawn isn’t necessarily a problem – if your grass is thin or patchy, moss can keep the lawn green and soft to walk on, and it creates a valuable habitat for small invertebrates. In the case of Polytrichum, it can even resemble a small forest of miniature Christmas trees. These are usually coarse, loose, green or yellowish-green tufts between the grass, but can form densely matted tufts. There are several types of moss that grow in lawns.
