Q.Rehabing A Moss Lawn
My question is probably different from most! We bought a house 4 years ago and the backyard was a beautiful moss carpet. I could not find any landscapers that knew how to take care of it. Life got in the way and it needs some TLC and rehabbing. Suggestions on leveling it a bit as erosion has caused sunken areas. The whole thing slopes down significantly, but there are recessed areas I would like to fill it. There is also some kind of grass growing through it. Can I feed the moss to knock it out, or am I relegated to hand pulling? There is alot of it. How do I care for it going forward…any resources?

Yes, hand pulling will be your method of control, here, unfortunately.
Filling in low spots can be done with a little topsoil, followed by replacing the moss.
