Yes to sprinkler system.

But as far as ground prep, just gylspohate what is there currently and add some top solid?

Biggest area of issue is across the sidewalk on the section that touches the street. It’s patchy at best. Probably best to just buy some sod vs a bunch of plugs. It’s probably 50 feet by 5 feet.

Have a similar situation. Bought the vacant lot next to me and it’s all weeds. Approximately 1/4 acre, so sod would be expensive. Curious how well the plugs work. Would I be correct to:

Kill weeds
Level with mortar sand
Plug with pieces of sod

Main concern is the weeds that may grow between the plugs.

For plugs? I wouldn’t do much. Rake the ground to get it loose, sure weed killer is fine but the weeds are just going to grow back between the plugs.

With plugs you gotta let the grass grow in which will take a year or more before really stressing the weeds too much. I’d probably spray the weeds first though yeah.

For that small area, I’d personally Eod the entire thing.
