How much does it cost to install a backyard sprinkler system?

Shannon R asked:


I already have landscaping and sprinkler system completed in the front yard, it has the timer and the whole bit. I’ll probably have about 1000 sq.ft. of sod in the back that will need watering. What would the approximate cost be to do this?

    I had sprinkler system put in with an added faucet for hose,took two days digging thru rocks for $1200

    I consider that a good price

    you need to have a professional company come give you a quote.
    many companies like the one i work for will do it for free.
    it depends on how many zones you will need, how many heads on each zone, water flow and pressure ( the more pressure and flow the more heads and less zones you will have to pay for) job difficulty- some hand dig jobs where you cant fit a machine will be more money
    you may have to run more wire to the timer or even upgrade the timer if you are already using all the stations it has room for.
    our add ons start at 750 $ per zone. plus extra- if timer needs upgraded, etc.
