I agree with that advice. You could save some money by just doing the
front or the back, but your not going to save much by not doing it
right, which just involves a few more sprinkler heads and pipe. I had
a 10000 sq ft system, 7 zones, put in a few years ago for around
$2300.

Hi --

I am redoing my lawn and i wasn't planning on putting sprinkler system
for my lawn. While talking to my friend, he mentioned that, if i don't
want to spend lot of money on sprinkler system, i can put one
sprinkler on the back side in the center of the lawn, which covers
most of my lawn.He mentioned that, it costs significantly less than
the normal sprinkler system installation.

After talking to him, i started thinking about it..
If i can put one sprinkler to cover the back side of my lawn (with
little money), i can do the front side (which is not too big) by
myself, and it will reduce my work significantly. Back side of my
house is like a rectangle (65 X 70) and i live in cleveland OH.

Just wanted get some opinion on this..
are there any pros and cons for this system and any body know how much
it costs..

Thanks for your time
Anil

Hi Anil, if you're gonna bother putting in a partial system,
you might as well do it all. The material is the cheap part.

The only thing that is a bit of a challenge is going under
the driveway and sidewalk(s). You can rent a vibra machine
that has the long spud drill power takeoff on the front, to
get under obstructions. It also doesn't tear up the turf real
bad. It pulls the plastic pipe with a chinese finger, while
it vibrates and slices the soil.

If you only do part, you'll be going back to do the rest.
