My advice is to use the TORO 570 for spray, thats what i use on my systems, the only thing is you have to by a specific nozzle. The Hunter company is the Leading manufracture in irrigation produces, and make great quality products, but they havent mastered the nozzle spray on their sprays, the toro 570 is way better. To tell you the truth you dont need them on both sides. Just install Toro 570 on one side, close (but not to close) to the sidewalk or neighbors sod, and install 12' (Brown) Half nozzles and install them about 12 feet apart (give or take a little) also put as many heads as you can on the line based on the GPM flow you have and the nozzle. I think that they take up around 1 (not definate) If you are really REALLY concerned about the heads also on the other side, you install them in a triagnular shaped design. EX. If you have one on one side, space the ohter 12' away but on the other side. And so on and so forth. The Hunter Design Manual (www. hunterindusries.com) has some pictures (i think) but really i wouldnt even bother (its not wide enough for you to do that) Hope that helps


IF you need help with anything else you can ask

Just a comment. I dont see how rotors would be a good option and I agree with ray except I like hunter nozzles but have not tried toro.

Comment to the nozzles. You might want to give the new Rainbird U series nozzles. They are alot better then the older MPR's, and have spray going up and down. I also like Hunter nozzles. I don't have any expirience with Toro, except their controllers, so I can't add anything to their nozzles.

As far as the nozzles i have used, i have only used Hunter and Toro, and my opinion is that the TOROS work alot better, and provide better coverage
