Greetings Kennan,
It is the time of year where we may start seeing vegetation that prefers moist environment. Some moss will live in shady or sunny areas. I found a great factsheet from OSU that discusses this moss and steps you can take to remedy. Many of the provided solutions include increasing drainage and filling areas where there is bare soil to prevent the moss from takin over. There are commercially available products, but OSU recommends consistent management will alleviate the problem over time. Please check out this page for more info and let me know if you have any additional questions!
