I’ve been wanting a sprinkler system at my house for a couple years now. After some online research, talking to a couple landscapers, and YouTube videos, I’ve finally gotten around to mapping out my yard and drawing my own system design. I may even send off my yard map to rain bird and see how a “professional” would design a system for my yard compared to what I drew up. What components or hardware do y’all have or recommend? I’ve been looking Hunter brand products just because I have a little experience with their rotors when I made some portable sprinklers. I have a larger yard, roughly 138’ x 300’, and have drawn up the system using as many Hunter PGP rotor heads as possible and filling in the smaller spaces with their MP rotator nozzles. Right now my drawing is either 10 zones with 3 valve manifold locations covering everything with head to head coverage except for 2 fringe areas of the yard or 12 zones still 3 valve manifold and the entire yard is covered head to head. Any advice will be appreciated. I’m planning on this being a DIY project as I believe the material cost for the project will be around 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the ballpark price a landscaper gave me. I’ve never put in a sprinkler system but have experience putting in water lines and running a walk behind trencher.
