What tools are needed to rid the lawn of moss?

A moss killer with ferrous ammonium sulfate, copper sulfate or potassium salts and a rake are the tools that are needed to rid the lawn of moss. They have to be supplemented by a soil pH measuring kit and a moisture level-indicating soil probe since moss proliferates in compacted, damp, poorly drained, shaded soils whose pH is in the acidic range below 5.8. They may need to be supplemented by pruners to remove shade-friendly branches, soil aeration equipment, and tillers to replant a lawn, preferably in shade-tolerant grasses such as Festuca, riddled with moss-friendly patches.
