Check the State of Iowa website. Based on what I have read I believe your work experience working under a Landscape Architect, doing landscape architectural type work would qualify.
It looks like it is pretty flexible in Iowa. Write to them to see if the work is “satisfactory”. It looks like you’d still need one year under direct supervision of a licensed LA, though. ….. it beats three.
