Whether you're a professional landscaper or a homeowner looking to maintain a beautiful lawn, the "New Grass Schedule" feature is an essential tool that guarantees a thriving, healthy lawn. This innovative feature is specifically designed to cater to the needs of newly planted grass and freshly seeded lawns. This article would help you go through it.

1. Why is "New Grass Schedule" Ideal for Seeded Lawns?

Newly planted grass has shallow, underdeveloped root systems. This makes it harder for the grass to absorb enough water and nutrients, especially under harsh environmental conditions like high heat, strong winds, or prolonged sun exposure.

Frequent, light watering is crucial in the early growth phase to keep the soil consistently moist and provide the hydration necessary for root establishment. Once the grass matures and its root systems deepen, watering can be gradually reduced.

The New Grass Schedule is engineered with this in mind. It supports multiple start times throughout the day, ensuring the soil stays consistently damp and the young grass has the best chance to thrive.

2. How Many Start Times Can I Add?

You can set up to 24 start times in a single New Grass Schedule—ideal for delivering short, frequent bursts of water to encourage strong root growth.

3. Do I Need to Set the Watering Duration Manually?

Yes. The Water Duration Expert™ tool is not available for this type of schedule. That means you’ll need to manually input the watering time for each zone. A general recommendation is 3–5 minutes per watering cycle.

4. Does the Duration Apply to the Entire Schedule or Each Cycle?

The watering duration you set applies to each individual watering cycle, not the total run time for the entire day. So, if you set a zone to run for 5 minutes and you have 4 start times, that zone will receive a total of 20 minutes of watering across the day.
