Define big yard......I have a coner lot and usually use about 8K gallons in fall and winter. This summer, July and August were both over 25K. Yard looks great which it didn't do when I watered less. It costs me more but the results, for me, are more than worth the expense. I increased watering after two landscapers, one Master Gardner, Deans and Jim Baumgartner made it clear that water was my problem. I'm south of 466A and I suspect we have different zozia than further north which could also be part of the problem. Using enough water and having Deans take care of the fertizising and weed control keeps our yard beautiful, my wife happy and me out of the dog house.
