Default Lawn irrigation schedule

I would appreciate some advice on a reasonable irrigation schedule.
The pre-set schedule was for 1.5 hours for lawn and 20 min for beds 2x/wk. Shrubs getting over watered. Grass is fine. We have a corner lot with a designer home.
My goal ( as I'm sure is the goal for all) is to use the least amount of water and keep the grass reasonably green and alive. I know the system adjusts based on conditions and is not running full right now, but I'm getting conflicting advice on frequency and duration. Lawn service recommending 3x/wk at lesser running times(didn't think we were allowed to increase days)
I'm leaning toward 2x/wk with lawn zones set at 1hour and beds for 10-12 min(when both at 100%).
Thanks!
