    It's the time of year when damp conditions and low light start to mess up people's lawns. Time for the autumn renovation.
    If the moss is a big problem use some lawn sand or moss treatment. This is only a temporary fix, so you need to tackle the conditions that are causing it.
    A typical maintanence would be 1. Scarify the lawn with a spring tine rake to remove thatch and dead moss after treating it. 2. Aerate the lawn. Some people use a fork, best is an actual aerator which removes plugs of soil. 3. Give it an autumn feed. 4. Optional, give it a top-dressing or compost/sand/peat mix (various recipies for this online).
    Of course you could have etxreme problems with compaction etc. but the above should help most tired lawns.
