If you have experience with different types of lawn/garden sprinklers,
please help a newbie here!

Which is the best lawn sprinkler for city life? We have a normal
Chicago backyard with a walkway in the middle. Also front lawns and
parkways, again with a sidewalk and walkway right there. This creates
tight spaces.

Frankly, I don't care about a few dollars. I really want the best, that
will last and let me control watering.

If you can suggest specific brands and models that would be great. For
stores, I only know Home Depot and Menard, so if they are not right,
please suggest the stores as well. THANKS!


The most expensive is rarely the best. I returned dozens of
sprinklers and got a Craftsman for $10. It has worked perfectly for
many years.
