House with north facing garden

We have a north facing garden and we have a problem with the lawn... it's overrun by moss
I don't know if that's a combination of soil + damp + shade but it's terrible... we are thinking of paving the whole garden instead.
We get a bit of sun on the east side of the gardenKavanne
Nuns! Nuns! Reverse!

Use a moss killer/lawn feed.
Pleeeeeeaaasssseeee dont pave over your garden. Gardens are for nature, grass, plants and flowers. If you want pavement, theres plenty of it alongside the road.Mortgage debt - [STRIKE]£8,811.47 [/STRIKE] Paid off!0 -
I too have a North facing garden. I get no sun from end October to end February, however I get full sun in the height of summer with only about 6 foot in shade by house wall. I have a conservatory that I can use all year round as it never gets too hot (it has radiators to use in the winter). My neighbour who is the end of the road and therefore doesn't have a house next door enjoys much more sun than I do as the sun travels around to set in the west. My living room is at the front of the house and therefore I enjoy the winter sun in there.0

We have a south facing garden, but it's at the front of the house - at the back we have a north-facing courtyard. Our bathroom looks out that side and is always dark and freezing cold! I don't think I could buy a house with a north-facing garden tbh.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
