General rule is to run as little as possible and let the grass grow deep roots in search of water. Water deeply, less often. But there are times you need to supplement the weather. You can measure what it’s getting or get a smart timer if you want to really stay in top of it.

during process of new top soil i was watering everyday twice a day.
5am and 7pm for 20mins each zone (total of 6 zones) for the month of April.
In June i reduced it to once a day, every day in the morning at 5am.
Landscaper stop by every Wednesday. i notice white mushroom growing this morning. this happen over night.
mushrooms is sign of rich nutrients in soil as well as over watering...
my goal is to have healthy thick green lawn, avoid high water bill and conserve water usage.
