ESTABLISHED LAWNS
Give the lawn a good soaking. Leave the sprinkler in each spot for 1 1/2 to 2 hours* once a week. In unusually warm weather, it may be necessary to water more often.
NEWLY SEEDED AREAS
Leave your sprinkler in each spot 20- 30 minutes,* daily if necessary, to keep the top inch of soil consistently moist for 4 weeks. Then water 45- 60 minutes,* 2- 4 times a week for the next 4- 6 weeks.
LAWNS THAT ARE PARTIALLY ESTABLISHED FROM FALL SEEDING
Leave your sprinkler in each spot 45- 60 minutes,* 2- 4 times a week. The intent is to moisten the soil more deeply to facilitate deeper rooting as the seeding mature. Keep spot seeded areas consistently moist for 4- 5 weeks.

ESTABLISHED AREAS
Give the lawn a good soaking. Leave the sprinkler in each spot 1 1/2 to 2 hours once a week. In unusually warm weather, it may be necessary to water in this fashion 2 to 3 times a week.
HOT SPOTS AND EXPOSED AREAS
Areas that tend to dry out quickly need water more often than the rest of the lawn. While most of the lawn needs only one good soaking each week (see above), hot spots may need water 2 or 3 times a week. This is especially true during hot, dry periods throughout the summer.

RECUPERATIVE WATERING
If the lawn goes without watering for an extended period during the summer, It may undergo severe drought and temperature stress. The lawn may become brown as the grassplant sacrifices leaf. To revive the lawn, it is necessary to water the lawn 2 or 3 times a week (every other day) for 1 hour or more in each spot. You may need to water in this fashion for 2 weeks or until the lawn grows out again.
