Our lawn always looks great after Octavius has mowed, and he’s always here the date he says he’ll be. Glad to have him working on our yard again this year!

Brandon runs a wonderful lawn service! He is always prompt and efficient with his mowings, keeps me informed, and gets back to me as quickly as he can if I have a question.

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Cedar Rapids

Maintaining a lawn in Cedar Rapids is like trying to predict the winner of the River Derby β€” a bit of a gamble. One minute, you're grilling in shorts, and the next, you're shoveling snow. This crazy climate calls for more than just a rake and a prayer β€” it demands expert lawn care.

LawnStarter’s pros have a deep understanding of Eastern Iowa's unique climate. They’ll tailor watering schedules to combat the late summer dry spells, apply specialized cold-weather fertilizers, and implement strategic mowing techniques to keep your lawn resilient year-round.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Cedar Rapids:

Best Grass Types for Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 5b, meaning temperatures can swing from blistering summer highs near 85 degrees Fahrenheit to frosty winter lows around -14 degrees Fahrenheit.

While cool-season grasses are the most suitable for this weather, you can also experiment with certain warm-season cultivars.

  • Perennial Ryegrass: This cool-season variety stands out for its speedy growth and establishment, making it a go-to for quick lawn repairs or renovations.
  • Tall Fescue: It's more drought-tolerant than other cool-season varieties and has good heat tolerance.
  • Bermudagrass: It's resilient and can be used in sunnier, well-drained areas. However, this warm-season grass requires overseeding with a cool-season variety to maintain year-round coverage.

When Should I Plant Grass Seed? If you choose a cool-season variety, sow the seeds from early September to mid-October. You can also sneak in a spring planting between mid-April and early May, but be prepared to water more diligently. If you opt for Bermudagrass, plant between late May and late June.

How Often Should You Mow Your Lawn? Mow cool-season grasses every five to seven days during the spring and fall and less frequently in the summer. For warm-season grasses, mow weekly during the summer.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids' humid continental climate attracts unwanted guests like moths to a flame. Common lawn pests and diseases in the area include:

  • Grubs: These beetle larvae feast on the grassroots, leading to patchy, brown spots in your lawn.
  • Chinch Bugs: These tiny pests suck the sap from grass, causing widespread damage, especially in dry, sunny areas.
  • Dollar Spot: Manifesting as small, circular, sunken patches, this fungal disease thrives in moist conditions.
  • Brown Patch: A common summertime fungus, brown patch is recognizable by its large, circular brown patches.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

LawnStarter Pros don't just mow and trim. They provide a comprehensive suite of outdoor services designed to make your backyard the talk of the town. These include:

  • Deck and Patio Installation: From design to construction, our crew will create the perfect gathering spot for summer barbecues or cozy fall fire pits.
