I'm assuming you have the new, low flow rotary heads. Sadly, they really do need 90 minutes, especially during the summer. However, your landscape areas are really set too high. They should be no more than 15 minutes during high heat, 10 minutes is fine for winter and spring. Do remember to change them to run twice a week starting in April (or mid-March if we stay over 83).

The other alternative is to change the low-flow to regular rotary heads. Then, you can go much lower on times but you'll still be using about the same amount of water.
