I spent 25 years doing irrigation from golf courses to suburban houses and I found your video to be the most sensible of the many I watched.
I am not a big fan of the method of "smart controllers" or the drip and micro stuff due to its failure rate, especially in cold climates.
And also, always used poly pipe, so much faster than glue.
Great video.

Coming from an irrigation contractor with 27 years experience, what you've done with your irrigation system, is much better than any other diy install I've seen. I am curious if Rain-Bird took into account the gpm of your pump from your well. One very important factor when doing a system where a private well is used, is that the zones are design in a way that when each zone is on, the well pump runs constantly. Otherwise you cause the pump to short cycle (the pump comes on and goes off while any zone is running), which can significantly shorten the life of the pump and the pressure.

DUDE! this is a life saver. I just got a quote for 11k to do my install and I literally just decided to do this myself. Thanks man.

Did you say Menards? Depressing. I MISS THEM SO MUCH. Stopped by on the way back home from visiting my parents in Illinois after having left there 5 years ago. Now I'm stuck with Lowes and Home Depot. After not having been in one for 5 years, I was instantly reminded why they are by far the best home improvement store in the US, without competition.

Thank you so much for the information. We live in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Recently built a new home. Your info really helped me go figure it on my own. Your tip on contacting Rainbird was a big one! Thank you!

Nice house and beautiful yard. Don’t be confused. This man is skillful. Not any ole person can do this.

Amazing summary and got to see reality.

[polishtimmy]

very impressive, your system probably even outperforms mine "proffesionally" installed one.

[atomicorang]

Huge salute!! You’ve got it going on with the American dream❤

[Bradley-sluv]

Great video. Appreciate all the detail and no-nonsense approach. You've got a new subscriber. Beautiful property btw!

We also diy'd our system, cost us around $1000. Parts were a bit more expensive here in Utah, but we were quoted over $8, 000.

I hate fall, so I'm enjoying watching these earlier in the year videos.

[eddiane]

Great video. I would definitely do this myself especially after watching your video. Thanks for sharing this.

[heroknaderi]

Nicely done. I love it. and glad you saved a ton of money. i also find this project fun to do.

[alba]

I love your video and your pride. Way to hustle hard! Thank you for making this!

You can also use a 2, 800 to 3, 300 psi pressure washer with a "0" nozzle to etch out very narrow trenches and holes into the ground instead of a trencher. This will etch out as deep and wide as needed with no worry about cutting existing burred pipes and cables either.

Thanks Bro! Looks great. Was at Lowe’s today looking at the cheap box kits and realized I got to do this right. I’ll emailing rainbird now for the drawling! Nice video!

[biggdogg]

Wow bro, BIG, beautiful property. I want a backyard as big as your front for a big garden.

Great video. Helped me out a lot. FYI, Rain Bird charges $19.99-$59.99 for a design plan, depending on if you want your plan done in 60 days or 5 days. I'm going to pay the $60, but it's not free.
