If part of your yard sits under trees, you already know the spot we're talking about. Thin, patchy grass that never fills in, bare dirt by midsummer, and moss creeping in every winter. You reseed it every year and it never takes.
It's not your fault, it's the shade
Grass needs sun. Under the tall evergreens and mature canopy you find all over the Fraser Valley, there just isn't enough light for it to thrive. Add our damp climate and you get the perfect conditions for moss instead of a lawn. No amount of seed or fertilizer changes that math.
Turf doesn't care about shade
Artificial grass looks exactly the same in deep shade as it does in full sun. That's the whole point. The shady side of the house, the strip under the big cedar, the north-facing back corner that's been bare for years, all of it can be full and green.
- Stays even and green regardless of how much sun it gets
- No moss, because there's no soil for it to take hold in
- No reseeding the same bare patches every spring
- A weed barrier and proper base keep it clean underneath
Common around here
We see this constantly in heavily treed areas like Fort Langley and the older, established neighbourhoods nearby. Beautiful big trees, terrible lawn conditions underneath. Turf is usually the only thing that gives those spots a clean, green finish that lasts.
