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.

I live in northern Texas.
If you want to save water then the best move is to stop trying to force
grass to grow where it normally doesn't by changing the landscaping to
whatever occurs naturally in your area.

Not too many assumptions being made here.....
