In my experience, moss is often the sign of several factors, Acid Soil, Compaction, Shade, & Wetness. You mentioned Pines in your post which often cause acidic soil conditions due to needle drop.
Acid Soil: Take a soil test and follow any lime requirements for your desired plants. A pH of 6.5-7.0 is good for "Most" plants.
Compaction: Make sure area isn't hard and compact. Poor soil structure reduces pore space in soil and causes problems. Till aerate or incorporate amendments into soil if needed.
Shade & Wetness: Moss tends to grow well in shade. Maybe this is because these areas stay more damp, I'm not sure. I would try to increase light if it is lacking and control soil moisture.
These cultural practices is where I would start before going to a chemical solution. Several Copper based products are out there but if the underlying cultural problem isn't addressed you are just putting a band-aid on the problem.
