    If you have just seeded your lawn, water daily for the next three weeks to ensure that the soil stays moist. You do not need to heavily water the lawn, but it will need to be kept as damp as possible without over watering. After this period, for the next two weeks, it is best to water three times a week until the seed has been established.

    On the Other: Environmental Factors

    In areas that are prone to high winds or extended periods of sun, you'll ned to water the grass seed more frequently. The key is checking the moisture of the soil. It should be damp to the touch, but not muddy. If the soil looks dry or cracked, it is too dry for the grass seed to become established.

    Bottom Line

    In order to maintain a healthy new lawn, finding the right balance of moisture is essential. If the lawn area looks dry, water it lightly and monitor the moisture in the soil. Over watering is not as bad as under watering during this stage of the growth process.
