WAUWATOSA - Thursday, we saw rain in the Milwaukee area for the first time since June! We haven't had rain like Thursday’s showers since the storms that brought us the June floods. Now, the question is, is this rain enough to save our dried out lawns and gardens? TODAY’S TMJ4’s Scott Steele looked into that Thursday. Remember June's record breaking rains? It's hard to forget. More than 12 inches officially that month, but since then, it's been a different story. In fact, August was the 10th driest on record with less than an inch of precipitation. Now, with green filling our radar screens Thursday from once Hurricane Gustav, there finally appears to be a turn around. “This rain goes a long way in recuperating our landscaping,” Tim Brennan, with Brennan’s Landscaping said. Brennan founded his namesake landscaping firm back in 1984 and is hard-pressed to remember a more unusual and difficult year for his business and our lawns. “The workers are relying on hours to survive, quite frankly, and we appreciate the fact that clients understand the cost of that, but when you're missing a week full of work, it's difficult. It's difficult on the guys, difficult on scheduling,” Brennan said. While unwatered plants and flowers may have withered and died, the good news is, as Brennan points out, lawns are hearty and though they may have browned into crunchy dormancy, most should come right back. “By the weekend you'll see that things have greened up, the lawns will be substantially easier, softer to step on,” Brennan said.
