Don't have an irrigation system but my sprinklers suck for sure. Need better coverage for sure. Tired if dragging them all around the yard. What do y'all recommend?

Can’t count the number of cheap and expensive sprinklers that have broken and I’ve thrown away over the years. I’m now using these and happy with them. LINK

I have the same one and it’s been holding up well.

I’ve been looking at one of the impulse sprinklers on a tripod for my front yard since it’s so chopped up.

But my backyard is a big rectangle. I go through a new oscillating sprinkler every two years. Don’t buy this one. The plastic tabs on the spread adjustment break off pretty easily.

Can those big sprinklers be made into pattern?

Buy some PVC and a rain bird head and make your own. I've got 2 hooked up to an orbit timer for my sod.

Before I installed a legit sprinkler system, I had the rainbird programmable system which connects directing to your spout and the trajectory of the sprinklers were awesome.

It uses (IIRC) polypropylene tubing (black) and you can stake it down or even bury it if you wish.

What is the geometry of your lawn?

My yard is all fricked up shape wise. I currently have a Gilmore pattern master for the very front portion because it's so fricked up. After that it's not bad really but has some curves wish I could draw it

Nelson Lawn Tractor at Amazon

I also like the lawn tractor sprinkler. Lay out the path to be watered with the water hose and let the tractor do its thing.
