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
The whole program hinges on two windows: pre-emergent must be down before soil temperatures hold 50 F for several days - early March in a normal Chesterfield year, late February in a warm one - and the heavy nitrogen belongs in September, October and November, not spring. Spring feeding pushes top growth that fescue can't sustain in July.
