I was also thinking there must be environmental factors. Moist ground and copious shade favor moss growth.
The moss is fast in spreading. If the property is ever sold the inspector or buyer may reference poor drainage as the cause of the moss. Trying to kill it failed so far with some spray killer to be tried next. The lawn mower struggles over it being so thick.

Poor drainage is not necessarily a cause of moss. I have a lot which has quite a diverse population of mosses on it, yet most of the lot is dry woodland. The mosses are native to the area and I think they're beautiful. They keep any weeds out and I don't have to mow them. They also set off the other native groundcovers such as partridgeberry and pipsissewa. What's not to like?
Yeah, moss on the roof is one thing, moss in the garden- why not leave alone?
^This. Remove it from your roof to extend it's life. In the yard, why fight it? Stays low and is a very plush green ground covering. I'll never understand why people hate it so much.
Easiest way to kill anything in my yard is for me to want it to grow!!!!!
