Snow Mold Treatment

• 1). Determine if you indeed have snow mold. Snow mold is identifiable by the appearance of matted or discolored grass found beneath the winter snow pack. The layer of mold can appear gray, black, pinkish or white, and is usually limited to the surface area of the lawn.
  
  
• 2). Sweep the affected area with a broom or spray mold off the grass with a garden hose.
  
  
• 3). Sprinkle the cleaned area with cornmeal to absorb excess moisture.
  
  
• 4). Trim back or thin overhanging tree or plant branches in areas of dense shade.
  
  
• 5). Mow and rake the lawn when it's completely dry and remove all grass and plant clippings.
