Since you are in buttonwood, you probably have zoysia grass. The correct criteria is not how often, but how much. One deep watering per week is best. Zoysia website says 1" per week during the growing season. Put a tuna can on the lawn, and water til full. Check the time, and set the timer. The 1" seems to work for bedded plants also.
