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.

$2000?!

Some PVC pipe, tees, and sprinkler heads and valves wouldn't cost more
than a couple of hundred dollars. Rent a trencher to dig the trenches.

Don't skimp on the number of sprinklers. You'll get better coverage with
a lot of sprinklers at lower volume than a lot of sprinklers at higher
volume.

Dig deep enough that you can have longer pop-ups.
