moss lawn

Soft verdant groundcover

A moss lawn is a ground cover of moss used in place of traditional grass turf.

Moss lawns require no mowing, tolerate shade, and need little maintenance once established.

They appeal to gardeners seeking low-impact alternatives to conventional lawns: We replaced the patchy grass with a moss lawn.
