Knock the house down - that'll decrease the shade.

Even in shaded area, summer warmth will greatly reduce the amount of
moss in your lawn. Carry on mowing as usual and grasses will find their
way through as mosses recede.

Use Lawn Sand with a spreader. The moss turns black but the grass grows
stronger and greener and will make the moss disappear

Encourage blackbirds. They have spent the last week as unpaid
undergardeners digging up moss from my lawn

Accept the moss
With conditions like that you will never have a reasonable grassy lawn.

They might be after leatherjackets, I think it is, Anna. There's an
organic thingy that you can get that will get rid of the grubs, and
then the grass grows back.

Conifers on all 3 sides ..........forget a lawn it simply wont grow
../........conifers screw up the soil along with creating the shade and
conditions for moss

Remove some conifers, spike the lawn, scarify it, overseed. Repeat until
satisfied or no conifers left.
