Sioux City, IA lawn care service at the click of a button

Without proper lawn care, Sioux City's swing from scorching summer to bone-chilling winter can wreak havoc on your lawn. Luckily, LawnStarter’s pros are here to tackle the tough work so you can spend your Saturdays cheering on the Explorers instead of wrestling with sprinklers and fertilizer bags.

Our pros are experts at navigating Iowa’s four seasons. In the summer, they focus on optimal watering, using drought-resistant grasses, and managing heat stress for a lush lawn. When winter's icy grip arrives, they aerate and apply pre-emergent weed control to pave the way for a vibrant spring comeback.

Here's a closer look at what lawn care in Sioux City involves:

About Your Grass

The best choice for lawns in Sioux City is typically a cool-season grass. The region's climate, falling in USDA Hardiness Zone 5a, is particularly well-suited for grasses that thrive in cooler temperatures and endure harsh winters.

However, some varieties of warm-season grasses can be a viable option during the peak of summer, but they require winter overseeding. 

• Kentucky bluegrass: While high-maintenance, this cool-season cultivar has excellent cold tolerance and recovers quickly from damage. Fertilize well and mow it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
• Tall fescue: This cool-season turf has excellent heat tolerance during Sioux City's hot summers and maintains a good green color in the winter. Mow it down to 2 inches.
• Perennial ryegrass: Quick to establish, it’s another cool-season cultivar that is especially useful for repairing wear post-winter. Mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.
• Zoysiagrass: This warm-season grass provides a dense, traffic-tolerant turf in the summer but turns brown after the first frost. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches.

How often should you mow your lawn? Mow cool-season grasses weekly during their peak growing season in the late spring and fall. For warm-season grasses, mow every five to seven days from July to August.
