Installing your own lawn sprinkler system can be a very rewarding experience if done correctly. After all, it is just moving water through a pipe from point A to point B. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Unless of course you start to think about the layout of the system, the back flow preventer, the valves and how they sit in the valve box, the wiring back to the control panel, and installing and adjusting the sprinkler heads. Sounds like a lot and it can be but in the end it is just moving water through a pipe from point A to Point B.

So how do you get that water moving through that pipe in the first place? The first thing you have to do is measure your yard and layout where the sprinkler heads need to go to get the best water coverage. You will also need to locate where you want to place the valve boxes and which valves serve which zone.
