ust want to keep the sod wet. Watering once a day for about 30 minutes should be plenty based on current temps. Watering more than once a day is usually the protocol for July/August when we are 105 with blue bird skies for multiple days in a row.
The Bermuda was put in today. The company told me to water 3 times a day at 6am, 12pm, and 6pm for 30 mins each. They said with an irrigation system, they'd recommend 10 mins each, but since I'm using 3 Rainbird 5004 heads on spikes, to water for 30 mins to make sure it's getting moist enough. They said to do this for 2 weeks.
Do this sound right? I just want to make sure the Bermuda establishes, but I don't want to over water either

I would water all at once in the morning. This would allow the water to trickle deep into the soil so the roots seek out the water below the surface and will better establish. I’m no expert, but that’s how I think about it.
Can’t say how long to water, but try to water enough to allow your soil to remain moist throughout the entire day.
