Default Installing an irrigation system

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking about installing an automatic irrigation system. I want to
install some pop up sprinklers for my already established front lawn and
fixed sprinklers for the garden beds.. How do I run the hosing under-ground
without damaging the lawn and the gardens?

BTW, I recently purchased the house. The gardens and lawn are about 3 months
old.

Kind Regards.

I would recommend weeping soaker hoses for the garden bed. Got one
recently myself... they do a bloody fantastic job of watering the beds
efficiently!

Just lay it down on top of the soil and ideally cover with
mulch/chips/stones. You can use 13mm polypipe to connect the hose(s)
to the tap.
