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.

Actually directly under my pines is just about nothing, these pines are 100
ft tall
and I have tried acid loving plants, they are dying slowly...
but the lawn is not directly under those trees, the trees I have on the
frontage of the property is
Birch and Maples.
