How should I water my lawn? It's too spread out and unconnected

Post by Banahee » April 27th, 2020, 9:37 am

As you can see my house is set in the center. I have no idea what my ideal setup should look like to get adequate coverage though because of how it's all over the place, and not the conventional rectangular field.I have no idea of how I'd create zones to compensate for that.

In picture 1, the front of the house that faces the street is East, so that treeline is North.

Pictures 2 shows the West side of my lawn. Picture 3 is the South (I share this section with a neighbor). I didn't get the North because it's a strip like the South area (except with more grass).

I am currently trying to grow grass on the west side as well.

I am looking for above ground watering solutions.

As a starting point I would use an oscillator sprinkler (the $25 metal turbo kind, not the $5 mechanical link or the $15 plastic body). Place it next to the house and set it to water away from the house. You'll have to move it, of course, down the long sides of the house.
