2.  If you are starting a new lawn, consider installing drip irrigation under your turf.  Just like in a landscape bed, drip irrigation is the most efficient way to water your lawn and creates a green, lush lawn even during periods of drought.

3.  During the season, water once a week in San Antonio (unless there are drought restrictions in effect which limit that).  This will help your lawn create deep roots
