It's horrible. The word "lawn" may be a misnomer. Thank you for this information that I wasn't aware of.
I also have a (misguided?) hope that if I dethatch right now I will be able to rout out tent caterpillar larvae before they go up my walnut trees?? They have caused severe damage for the last couple of years and one of the trees is showing signs of distress. Walnut trees are toxic to all vegetation except moss. There is thick moss under the trees and apparently the caterpillars really like moss.
