The goal of this project was to install an irrigation system underground for as cheap as I possibly could, meanwhile using quality products. I often hear in-ground irrigation systems are too expensive or too complex to do it yourself... I disagree, and this video will explain why and how to do it yourself for under $400.00!

I dug all of my trenches by hand, although renting a trencher is recommended due to the length and depth that was needed for this. The digging was the bulk of time it took. Laying the pipe, for me, was easy and took only a few hours (plus multiple trips to Home Depot).
**Always be sure to call before you dig. I recently had my sewer line replaced so I had already seen where any underground wires and pipes were located.
The bulk of the cost were the irrigation timers ($46.00 each). The Rainbird 5004 irrigation heads were not expensive (Sprinkler Supply Store has great deals on them). The pipe was pretty cheap as well (around $80.00). The additional costs were back flow preventers, fittings, primer and glue and the outside faucet. This was all well under $400.00.
