About Your Grass

Idaho Falls is in USDA hardiness zone 5b, which means both cool-season and warm-season grasses can technically survive. However, the region's extreme temperature swings favor the resilient nature of cool-season grasses. 

The best varieties for Idaho Falls are:

• Tall fescue: This cool-season grass has a coarse texture and is tough against drought and foot traffic. Mow it frequently to keep its height at 2 inches tall.
• Kentucky bluegrass: This cold-hardy turfgrass enjoys sun, but may need extra water in the dry climate. Fertilize it well and mow it enough to keep it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: Though not as cold-hardy as Kentucky bluegrass, it stands out for its disease resistance and foot traffic tolerance. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Buffalograss: This warm-season, low-maintenance grass is a great option for heat and drought tolerance. Mow these lawns between 2 and 3 inches, and watch out for weeds.

What's the best lawn mowing schedule? Mow once a week during your grass’ peak growing season (March through November for cool-season varieties and June through August for warm-season cultivars).
