Unfortunately, the probability of getting our rain deficit back soon is lower because dry has been the trend and will take some catching up.  So 

ATTENTION- All lawns not normally watered could use a couple of good waterings to bridge the gap to July/August's naturally dry and safer dormancy periods.  If you normally are not watering in July or august, no problem but if this early trend continues it has the potential to damage lawns especially lawns already dry and cut too low because it extends the amount of time the lawn can naturally be dormant without damage.

We have experienced drought conditions going back to the 1990s so this isn't our first dry to drought time

We have and have deployed in the past drought protocol as you may have seen similar information last summer as we almost had drought conditions with an abnormally dry late summer last year.  This 2021 rain deficit actually goes back to that time last summer/fall and the gap has widened in some of our counties.

Drought protocol will start after 4-6 weeks with no significant amounts of rain.  We may route and treat some service areas differently as some areas may get more rain than others but generally, if your lawn has gone dormant/not green you should start expecting the changes below.

1. Make customers aware of conditions and of potential changes and how important mowing at the right height with a sharp blade. <-CURRENTLY
2. Slow Treatment Timing - lawns need food going into and coming out of dormancy.
3. Continue to treat weeds as they will try to out-compete grass
4. Change to drought recovery-friendly formulations/ analysis to activate when watered/rained in to aid in a healthy recovery.
5. Stop fertilizer treatments if the lawn is dormant with no significant amounts of rain since the last drought recovery-friendly formulation treatment.

• Cut height 3.5-4 - confirmed with a ruler- Yes use a ruler.
• Sharp Blade - less tearing less water lost
• Don't mow unless it grows- Do not lower your mower!
• Water your lawn- especially if you are in the drier areas on the map below.
