Recommended Grass For Iowa Lawns

Recommended grasses - Kentucky Bluegrasses are the dominant lawn grasses in Iowa, in many circumstances it is better to pursue improved types which provide the more beautiful disease resistant Bluegrass lawns. Turf type perennial rye may also be thrown into the Bluegrass for a good mix. Tall fescues are also a possibility if wide-bladed, tough play lawns are what you are looking for.  Fine Fescues work well in shady areas.
