Acidic soil pH, breezes, patchy spots, poor drainage and shade are factors that cause moss to grow on a lawn. Moss favors a pH no higher than 5.8 in soils that are damp and are neither densely covered nor nicely sunlit. It spread by spore so its presence is guaranteed by light winds during warm weather.
