I like my native moss that colonizes where conditions are right. It usually grows between my firepit stones during the winter, then fries in the summer. I use one of those bamboo brooms to just sweep it away when it is looking ragged. I tried irish moss at the top of my firepit steps but it got a bit too exuberant (swallowed the stone landing) so I've moved it to another location.
My son diligently tries to pull the moss from his lawn every year, while I counsel him to just embrace it. Soft on the feet, stays low, nice green.
