hardly any 2 or more contractors think alike when it comes to sprinkler head layouts. It may be worth your while to have a design drawn up with bids placed on this design. No one does this for resi installs, but it may be worth it to you.

Or- look at several of each of your contractors last jobs and pick what seems best to you along with asking and talking with references. No one does this either but it may be worth it to you.

The second contractor's 8-10 popups seems sparse, but without knowing the radius of the parts, that is a guess.

IrrigationTutorials.com and the Hunter design guide might have some information helpful to you.

what is the optimum number for rotor and sprayers

Hi, I am in the process of gathering estimates to install an irrigation system in my front lawn. One contractor has estimated 17 zones, 13-14 pop up heads and 20-21 spray heads, while another estimated 3 zones, 8-10 pop up and 14-15 sprayers for the same lot. How do I know which is the optimum number. Price differential is apx $300
