What Colonial Heights lawns are like
Sandier coastal-plain soil than the county - drains fast, dries fast, and needs more summer water. Bermuda grass is common on sunny lawns here alongside fescue, and each wants a different mowing height (bermuda low, fescue high); your provider will tell you which you have.
Timing in Colonial Heights
Soil is warm and nights are cooling from late August; seed germinates in 7-14 days and has two months to root before frost. Spring aeration and seeding in Chesterfield mostly fails - pre-emergent blocks it and July heat kills what survives. If you missed the fall window, the answer is fertilization now and aeration next fall.
