Drip irrigation is by far the best. If i had a clean slate I would do the whole job with drip. 4 inches deep and never worry about it again. It will aerate the lawn as it water s and wont waste a drop. Also you will be dealing in gallons per hour instead of gallons per minute.

Thanks amigo!! This looks interesting......should I go this route?

I would. i have five homes i have done total drip irrigation. They only have to water once every other week because the water is delivered at the roots and wont evaporate. I would use the 12/9 which means the drippers are 12 inches apart and uses 90 gallons per hour per hundred feet. You need to put the drip 12 inches apart.. I dont know what type of soil you have,, but you can look on there chart to see what is recommenced for your soil type,
You can rent a https://www.littlebeaver.com/products/kwik-trench-mini-trencher/ to do the lines

My advice, hire Bruce to install it. It is worth every penny as most really good sprinkler guys will come back as often as needed to make adjustments.

You can do it yourself. just take your time and make sure to use staples on the drip about every three feet.
Take a five gallon bucket ,, turn on hose and time how long it takes to fill it. that will give you the gallons per minute. That will help you determine how many feet you can run on one zone.
I have a home in southlake that is two acres. all under drip. They pay a 75 dollar a month water bill and have the healthiness looking lawn. We actually cheated on that one. When the builder was grading we had the m take the top soil and put aside. We laid out the drip and covered it with the soil and laid the sod.

Great idea, I�m going to look into that for my new pad I�m building. I can say, I went to drip in my garden, and it was never better before I started using it.
