Water three times daily at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. for 8 to 10 minutes per zone. This keeps the top 1 to 2 inches of soil moist throughout the day, essential for seed germination.
Week 4 (Transition Phase)
Reduce to two daily waterings, at 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., maintaining the same duration. The young grass needs consistent moisture as its roots continue to develop.
Week 5 (Strengthening Phase)
Water every other day to encourage deeper root growth.
Week 6 and Beyond (Maturation Phase)
Begin watering less frequently but for longer durations, aiming for 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall. Deep watering promotes a resilient, drought-tolerant lawn.

Best Practices
Mow Properly
Adjust your mowing height based on seasonal conditions and grass type to avoid stressing young grass.
Watering needs may vary depending on soil type. Sandy soils drain faster and may require more frequent watering, while clay-heavy soils retain moisture longer.
