What Powhatan lawns are like
Piedmont clay with more rock than Chesterfield and plenty of slope. Full-sun acreage lawns take the brunt of August and are the lawns most likely to benefit from a bermuda or zoysia section near the house with fescue in the shade. Mowing frequency on big lots is where the money is: every-other-week mowing on an acre is normal here and the estimator prices it. Bush-hogging of pasture is a different service and a different quote.
Timing in Powhatan
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.
