I have some largish patches of moss in my front yard. I don't
particularly want them where they are, although I don't feel any
need to try to kill them, either.

I also have a small walkway to my mailbox made up of slate paving
stones. I'd really like the moss to grow between the stones. Is it
possible to move the moss from where it is, to where I want it to
be? I was thinking maybe I could take "slices" of mossy soil and
layer them between the pavers.

I have no idea what sort of moss it is, it's not cultivated. It just
grows naturally in the few boggy spots in my yard.

Moss likes it wet and shady. If the walkway to your mailbox has the
right conditions the moss would already be there. It won't hurt to try
to transplant some.
