1. A method of setting an irrigation schedule comprising:

  • receiving, by a processor, a request to set an irrigation schedule for a first sprinkler controller in communication with sprinklers at a first location, the request comprising first landscape characteristics of a first sprinkler zone associated with the first sprinkler controller;

    receiving, by the processor, second landscape characteristics for a second sprinkler zone associated with a second sprinkler controller, the second sprinkler controller located at a second location;

    comparing, by the processor, the first landscape characteristics with the second landscape characteristics to determine one or more matching landscape characteristics and one or more different landscape characteristics;

    accessing, by the processor, a second irrigation schedule for the second sprinkler zone;

    utilizing, by the processor, the second irrigation schedule for the second sprinkler zone and the matching characteristics to generate a baseline irrigation schedule for the first sprinkler zone; and

    adjusting by the processor, the baseline irrigation schedule to generate an adjusted first zone irrigation schedule based on the different landscape characteristics; and

    transmitting, by the processor, the adjusted first zone irrigation schedule to the first sprinkler controller, wherein the adjusted first zone irrigation schedule selectively activates sprinklers at the first location to deliver water to vegetation in the first zone.
