We lived on sand dunes at Lake Michigan. There were only about three inches of topsoil, then all sand. The condo complex watered every day for ten minutes. Anything more would just drain down through the sand and not benefit the grass. The grass was lush and beautiful, but of course that was a northern climate.

I've been tempted to try that here, but 5 minutes a night.
