Fair enough but twice a day seems excessive to me. If you are being really cautious then daily for a week, then start to stretch out, alternate days, every 3rd etc. Be guided by how it looks check the joints to see that they are not dry. Tagging @glasgowdan as our resident lawn guru .
Rectangular sprinkler is certainly the way to go with that shape of lawn. When we had ours done I moved the sprinkler roughly every hour to a new section. I would have thought twice a day would only be needed if weather warms considerably.
Thanks. Ill think Ill get one. (Ill probably have to wait until the lawn is safe to walk on before I can actually start to use it).
The forecast for the next week is - although sunny/overcast - is sub 10 degrees. So perhaps I can get away with just one watering per day?
Walking on the lawn just to position the sprinkler won't do it any harm. I had a new lawn laid and there was no option as it was fence to fence and nearly 100 feet long.
You'll be fine to walk on it to put a sprinkler out, don't worry. Also, twice a day isn't needed. We're not in the throes of a hot summer remember, a new lawn won't dry out the same way.
A good watering with a sprinkler every two days, any time of day just now, will be fine.
