I'm currently considering a lawn sprinkler system for my front (only)
yard. I would have this installed through a lawn sprinkler company.

Since I've never had a lawn sprinkler system, I was wondering about
the advantages/disadvantages of installing and using one.

Currently, I just use the regular type sprinklers (using hoses) to
water my yard. I would expect that an underground sprinkler system
would provide a better way of covering my yard.

Would a sprinkler system save me money and use less water? The
quoted cost for installed system is well above $2K from a respected
company.


No, it won't save you money or - probably - water. It *will* save work
since you can set watering at the desired frequencies and it will be done
without further intervention by you. It might save water depending on how
much andoften you now hand water.
