"It's affecting my job hugely. I'm probably down 30% over last year," says John Vigen of Johnson's Lawn Service.
Statewide, the drought has taken its toll with over 75% of the state experiencing some kind of dryness.
Even though most of the damage is to the Southwest, Fargo lawns are still feeling the heat.
"The people who are not watering their lawns, they have brown grasses," said NDSU Climatology professor Adnan Akyuz.
The U.S. drought monitor shows Fargo is in the "abnormally dry phase", but that doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about.
"If the rains do not hit our area, we could easily be getting into the moderate drought and also the intensified drought areas," Akyuz told us.
For those who work on the green, just seeing the everyday patches of brown can be devastating.
"We need moisture - it's been going south of us, north of us, anywhere but here. So, we all need to pray for some rain around here - farmers, everybody. Hopefully we'll get it soon," said Vigen.
It's not just the front lawns that need extra care this season, there are some veggies in your garden that could also use the water.
Gourds, cucumbers, and tomatoes; anything that grows on a vine needs that extra water .
In this drought, any rain would help those at the farmer's markets
"You know, half an inch here and there would be great," said Tanya Reinke of the Hildebrandt Farmers Market.
Hildebrandt Farmers Market florists say farmers come in and are just hoping for the best. "They're just praying for rain," Reinke told us.
Until the next rainfall the only thing to do is to keep watering and waiting.
If you want to take care of the brown patches on your lawn Johnson's Lawn Service says to water about an inch a week and to mow 3 inches high, or about the length of your middle finger.
