[continue reading...]As one of the Midwestern states, Iowa experiences extreme temperatures in both the summer and winter months. Iowa receives high levels of precipitation year round, with heavy snowfall in the winter and severe thunderstorms in the warmer months. Thunderstorms are even more intense near the Mississippi River, which borders the eastern edge of the state. Tornados are also common in the mostly flat state; Iowa receives an average of 37 tornados each year.
Although the state’s precipitation is favorable to most types of grass, the state’s harsh winters and heavy snowfall can damage some yards. It is important for Iowa residents to choose a grass that can withstand the state’s volatile weather. Kentucky bluegrass, turf fescue, and ryegrass are all popular choices for residential yard cover in Iowa. Iowa lawn care specialists don’t recommend planting grasses like St. Augustine grass in Iowa because they aren’t able to handle the long winters.
