The beginning of this spring my wife and I are having our lawn seeded. One spigot is at the north end of my house with about 15,000 sq/ft to cover and the other spigot needs to cover approximately 7-10,000 sq/ft.

I am just looking for advice pertaining to a routine/patter for watering. We currently have clay, but topsoil is being brought in. I'm possibly going to buy the advanced oscillating sprinkler by gilmour (metal not plastic one). We also have a well with continuous pressure pump. The pumps psi varies depending on what I set it to, but I keep it at 60psi. We also get 25gpm.

Should I be ok on splitting two sprinklers from each spigot and watering for a period of time, then move the sprinklers to cover the rest of the area? What kind of problems may I run into with walking onto the straw with the ground wet? Any other suggestions for sprinklers/hoses/watering patterns????

You should be okay watering this way but traffic on fresh grass should be avoided.
