Discover simple, effective moss control solutions for a greener, healthier lawn. Improve drainage, nourish your grass, and apply proven moss treatments with ease.
Moss is a common issue in lawns, especially in damp, shaded areas. If left untreated, moss can overtake grass, leaving your lawn patchy and unhealthy. Fortunately, with the right approach, moss control is simple and effective.
Our maritime climate provides ideal conditions for moss.
North-facing or shaded lawns encourage moss growth.
Grass grows slowly in winter, allowing moss to thrive.
Excess moisture creates a perfect environment for moss.
Aerate the soil with a garden fork to enhance drainage.
Apply a high-quality, slow-release fertiliser such as:
✔︎ ICL Spring & Summer
✔︎ Signature Organics 16-4-8
These products provide nutrients for up to three months, promoting healthy grass growth.

Goldcrop’s Green Revive is a specially formulated lawn care product that combines sulphate of iron with calcium carbonate (lime) to deliver powerful results and lasting improvements to lawn health. The sulphate of iron component is highly effective at killing and controlling moss by acidifying the soil surface—creating an environment that moss cannot tolerate. Moss typically turns black within days of application, making it easy to remove.
In addition, sulphate of iron promotes a deep green colour in grass by enhancing chlorophyll production, without stimulating excessive growth—so you can enjoy a healthier-looking lawn with less frequent mowing.
To balance the acidity of the iron, calcium carbonate is included in the formula. This maintains a more neutral soil pH, preventing the lawn from becoming overly acidic over time. It also improves soil structure and drainage, especially in heavy or compacted soils, and encourages stronger root development.
Together, these components work in harmony to green, strengthen, and protect your lawn, while helping to prevent moss regrowth and support long-term health.
Why We Included Calcium Carbonate (Lime):
Neutralises Excess Acidity
✔︎ Sulphate of iron lowers soil pH, which can become problematic with repeated use.
✔︎ Calcium carbonate acts as a natural buffer, maintaining a more balanced pH level.
✔︎ This helps create an ideal environment for grass to thrive, rather than moss.
Improves Soil Structure
✔︎ Calcium is essential for healthy plant growth, contributing to strong cell wall development.
✔︎ It enhances soil structure and aeration, especially in clay soils, allowing for better drainage and deeper root penetration.
