Did you know?

  • Bailey's Nursery, located in Newport, is one of the largest wholesale nurseries in the US
  • Named after Captain John Newport, a riverboat pilot
  • Red Rock area named for a large boulder sacred to the Dakota people

Newport's elongated shape follows the Mississippi riverbank, meaning virtually every property in the city feels the river's influence. Soil ranges from sandy alluvial deposits near the water to heavier clay-loam on higher ground. The river valley creates a pronounced microclimate effect: spring arrives later here than on the plateau above, summer humidity is consistently higher, and fall frost comes earlier. These conditions intensify both mosquito pressure and disease risk on turf. Newport's ongoing development has added new homes alongside established properties, creating a mix of soil conditions and lawn ages. The Bailey's Nursery area, one of the nation's largest wholesale nurseries, demonstrates the growing potential of Newport's soil when properly managed.

Featured Newport Project

Riverside Property Disease Management Program

A Newport property near the river experienced recurring brown patch and dollar spot disease every summer, destroying turf that looked healthy in spring. The river valley humidity created conditions perfect for fungal growth. Previous treatments with over-the-counter fungicides provided temporary relief but the diseases returned within weeks. We implemented a preventative disease management program: improved air circulation through strategic canopy thinning, switched to disease-resistant grass varieties, adjusted watering schedules to reduce leaf wetness, and applied preventative fungicide at targeted intervals.

Results

  • Disease occurrence dropped from annual to rare with preventative approach
  • Grass variety transition to disease-resistant strains completed over two seasons
  • Modified watering schedule reduced leaf wetness duration by 40%
  • Property now maintains healthy turf through the humidity of river valley summers
