Default Lawn Covered In Moss

I am doing some landscaping on my new property, close to a lake but
there are trees all around the house, so not much sunlight gets to
garden. Around 50% of the current lawn is covered in moss, it looks
pretty bad. The grass is probably dead underneath in some of the
heavier mossy areas.

Any tips on how to save as much as possible? I don't fancy doing a
whole re-sowing there's quite a bit


Ferrous Sulphate moss killer. Lime to reduce acidity. Fertilize. Overseed after
raking away the dead moss.
