I have moss lots of it, but the front yard is the part I'm concerned about,
it's like shag carpet!
anything I should do besides lime the crap out of it?
I know drainage is a cause too but I think it drains OK, I am surrounded by
pine trees also
I suppose I could have it removed and put turf down but I'm CHEAP.

The only thing that grows under pine trees is moss, or an acidic loving
groundcover.
The third option is mulch.
Grass seed won't grow and sod may not take root and will die.
Google - grass under pine trees


Nope. We've plenty of grass growing under pines. Keep the needles raked up, and
adjust the pH accordingly (lime like hell should do it).
