What Prince George lawns are like
Coastal-plain sand over clay: drains fast, dries fast, and heats up. Fescue survives with watering; bermuda thrives without it and is the smart choice for open acreage. Weekly mowing in May and June, every other week the rest of the season, is the common pattern, and the estimator supports both. Leaf loads are lighter than Chesterfield except on the river.
Timing in Prince George
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.
