🌱 Get to Know Your Tech: Rion
Meet Rion, one of our Lawn Specialists and a proud U.S. military veteran.

Now in his 3rd season, Rion enjoys helping homeowners understand what's happening in their lawns and putting together a plan to get them back on track. One of the most common issues he sees is mowing too low and edging too deep, which can create opportunities for weeds to move in.

His go-to advice? Mow once a week and keep your grass between 3½" and 4" tall to help maintain a healthier, stronger lawn. 🌱
Rion enjoys the variety that comes with working in our area—no two lawns are exactly alike. His favorite part of the job is seeing customers enjoy the results and helping them better understand how to keep their lawn looking its best.

When he's not working, you'll find him spending time with his kids, whether that's playing Xbox 🎮 or teaching them how to skateboard 🛹.

Around the office, Rion is known for being considerate, dependable, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He's the kind of person who always takes the time to do things the right way.

And if his lawn had a personality?

Check out the latest drought update and Lawn Health Index from Justin Berk, Meteorologist ⬇️🌱.

The recent rain was welcome, but much of Central Maryland remains in drought conditions—and with temperatures pushing into the 90s, lawns will continue to feel the stress.

A few simple adjustments to your watering and mowing habits can go a long way toward helping your lawn weather the heat.

🌱 Water deeply, not daily
💧 Aim for 1–1½" of water per week (including rainfall)
✂️ Keep mowing height around 4"

Your lawn's roots are working overtime right now—make sure they're getting the support they need. 💚

Drought Monitor Update
🌵EXTREME Drought EXPANDING into Southern Maryland and Delmarva!
🚨Severe Drought still includes much of Central Maryland.

📣 NEW Feature: 🌱 LAWN HEALTH INDEX: 35/100 🌱
⛈️Recent thunderstorms provided some temporary relief, but drought conditions continue across much of Central Maryland.

📏💦 Rainfall Update
The rain on Wednesday was not distributed evenly. I've reposted the rain totals in my first comment.
At BWI:
📉 June Rainfall: 0.24”
📉 Below Normal: -1.12”
‼️Rain Deficit since January 1 = -5.52”
‼️Since Jan 1 2024 at -22.43”

🔥 With temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, lawns will remain under stress despite the recent rain.

💧 Lawn Doctor’s Top Tips:
• Water deeply and less often (1–1.5” per week including rainfall)
• Aim for 1–2 waterings per week rather than daily
• Keep grass taller (around 4”)
• Avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day
• Limit traffic on drought-stressed turf

The latest Drought Monitor still shows Moderate to Severe Drought across much of Maryland, with Extreme Drought expanding into Southern Maryland and parts of the Eastern Shore.

🌿 A healthy lawn is better equipped to handle both summer heat and sudden storms. Consistent care now can help build stronger roots for the months ahead.

🌵 One good rain doesn't erase a drought.

Even though we saw some soaking rain a couple of weeks ago, our region is still running a significant moisture deficit, and lawns are feeling it. With long, hot days pulling water from the soil, now is the time to help your turf stay healthy.

💧 Water deeply (about 1" to 1½" per week), ideally in the early morning, and avoid frequent shallow watering which encourages weak roots.

WE RECOMMEND:

💦 Watering 3 times a week, approximately 30 minutes per zone for green grass to maintain color.

OR

💦 Watering once per week for about 60 minutes per zone to keep turf healthy and sustainable.

(Wednesdays are ideal).

Deep, consistent watering helps encourage stronger root development and improves drought tolerance during periods of heat and dryness.

And if you're looking for a little extra help through the dry season, ask us about our Hydra Guard moisture management treatment—designed to help your lawn make the most of every drop.

Check out the latest drought update below from our local meteorologist. 👇

🌵Drought Monitor Report Thu June 4
⚠️Still Moderate to Severe Drought for much of our region!!!
Today marks 8 days since we last had rain.
👉BWI Numbers: Rain Deficit since January 1 = -4.79"
Since Jan 1 2024 at -21.70"
🤔🌧️Do you remember all of that rain we got two weeks ago?
Well... The WELLS are not seeing them yet. While some local reservoirs raised up 1 Ft water levels, they are still below average.
AND
☀️Given the high sun angle and long days, a general expectation is that each day we have a net loss of 0.15” to 0.18” water and need 0.20” to 0.25” to replace it and cover any waste.

💦📏What is needed? A single event needs to be about 0.50” to cover runoff and seep into the soil.
