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!

If you make a halfway decent living, and like your lawn green, just
get an automated sprinkler system. Make sure they use Hunter sprinker
heads and controller and Toro valves. These are cheap - $2000 to
$3000. You will never have to bother with dragging hosese around.

The best sprinkler is the one that puts the amount of water you want
where you want. Which means that the best sprinkler is not one
sprinkler. I use 4 or 5 to suitably cover the different shaped spaces
I water.
