Affordable Lawn Care Services in Waterloo

Achieving a picture-perfect yard in Waterloo is no small feat. In Iowa's northeastern region, intense summers can toast lawns to a golden hue, while winters often blanket them with a foot of snow. This extreme weather calls for a resilient and well-planned approach to lawn care.

LawnStarter’s local experts focus on deep-root irrigation to help lawns withstand the 

summer heat and pre-winter fertilization to strengthen the grass against the cold. Additionally, our pros offer custom mowing, trimming, aeration, weed control, and more, so you can get back to the things you love and forget about lawn care.

Here’s what lawn care looks like in Waterloo: 

About Your Grass

Waterloo's climate leans towards the cooler side, making cool-season grasses the best choice. However, the city is in the transition zone, which means you can also grow warm-season grasses. 

Consider a strategic blend to create a lawn that can effectively handle the Loo's wild weather swings. 

  • Fine fescue: Low maintenance and shade-friendly, this cool-season turf is perfect for tree-lined neighborhoods like Black Hawk Park. Mow it between 2.5 and 4 inches.
  • Kentucky bluegrass: This hardy cool-season variety adapts well to Waterloo's soils and self-repairs from wear and tear. Fertilize frequently and mow between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
  • Tall fescue: This cool-season grass has a deep root system that helps it handle Iowa's sizzling July sun. Mow it frequently down to 2 inches.
  • Zoysiagrass: Zoysia is a warm-season grass with good pest resistance, but it needs extra care when the frost hits. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches and dethatch as needed.
  • Bermudagrass: Great for high-traffic areas, this warm-season variety goes dormant in the cold. Fertilize, dethatch, and mow between 1.5 and 2.5 to keep up with its rapid growth.

How often should you mow? Mow your cool-season grass weekly in the spring and fall when they're growing fast. Mow your warm-season grass once per week during the summer. As temperatures drop, slow to bi-weekly mows until the grass goes dormant and turns brown.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

Keeping your Waterloo oasis green is just the beginning. LawnStarter pros offer additional outdoor services tailor-made for Northeastern Iowa's unique seasons and landscape. Services include: 

  • Leaf removal: We'll rake, gather, and remove leaves from every corner of your yard, leaving your lawn pristine and ready for winter's slumber.
  • Tree care: Keep your trees healthy and beautiful with professional trimming services. Our pros will also remove any trees that pose a risk or have outgrown their space.
  • Landscape design: Complete your outdoor space with mulch, garden beds, and whatever else suits your fancy.

Free yourself from lawn duty and embrace the beauty of your outdoor space. Use our app, click, or call to get free quotes today and let the experts take care of the rest.

No matter your lawn care or landscaping needs, get them done fast and affordably with LawnStarter.

"The only thing I would add is better communication. Monday rained and the mower never arrived so I assumed it was delayed. The part that was really strange is I received an email that the mowing was completed and to rate richard. I'm assuming this is an automated email, but maybe you can wait until the tech checks in to confirm it was completed before sending the email. When I sent an email to your support dept they confirmed the next day it was postponed."
