I wonder if moss on lawns is more than a simple case of dampness?

I have *very* light sandy soil which hardly ever supports puddles. Even in last years
Gloucestershire floods puddles vanished within 30 minutes of the rain stopping.

I have increasing moss on my lawn.

I have some moss in my lawn, but not a lot. The lawn was laid by a
professional landscape company. Having prepared the ground they then put
about 3 inches of a mixture of loam and sand over the top for drainage,
a major undertaking I would have thought.
