I am getting tired of moving sprinklers around all day on my days off. I want a in-ground system with a timer. I know that they wont be cheap but I want to at least get a quote.

Yard is 1/3 acre but I am fine with only doing the front yard right now.

Has anyone in Denham/BR done this recently/ at all and have any recommendations? I could probably do this myself but with so little time off from work right now, Id much rather pay someone.

Any company names or Mexican names? Advice/suggestions are welcome, as always.

ICS

Whole yard. Can include or not the flower beds. Wont be but just a few extra heads for the small beds that I do have.

ETA: I cannot see it being more than 3-4 zones of 4-5 heads each. However, I know shite about this.

They are going to have to dig up some of the yard, you might want to have it done before the grass stops growing

Yeah I'm not overly concerned about the trenching and small holes that will be made. Will be covered if done by Aug or Sept.

I'll give Josh a call Monday to get a quote. I'm telling him cblsu and bomescanner sent me. I fully expect him to know what I mean.

I'm bout to be out of touch for the day but if anyone else has any suggestions of companies, please let me know. I'd prefer to use local but if a large company did you right, let me know.

Deleted entire message because it was mean and just as helpful as the other comments before it.
