Sprinkler zones
Generally speaking, the more sprinkler zones the better. Chances are you won't want to water shrub beds as often as you would a lawn area. Or you may wish to water annual flower beds more often than anything else, especially right after planting new flowers. Therefore it's best to have these areas set-up on different zones so you can water one type of area without watering another.
The more heads the better
The best irrigation coverage is accomplished by using more heads. Every section of your lawn should be irrigated by at least two heads -- this is what we call 'overlap.' In other words, the water spray from one head should reach another sprinkler head and visa versa. This sort of overlap helps prevent gaps in coverage.
Too few heads in a shrub bed can lead to missed areas as well, especially as shrubs grow taller and wider.

i know your not argueing,,,,but it sound about right once you add the front and back yard into it....there is a forumal the measure the gal per min that will tell you how many heads you can have on a zone. the hardest part is to make the control vavle assy.(if thats what it's called).
laying the pipe is easey then from the pipe you use funny hose to the sprinkler head...adjust from there.....

if you have coverage from one head to another all you doing is wasting water,if your head are adjust right they should be spraying about half way into the other....it all sound good for being a mexacan but that why you install and not design....

actually this correct. head to head coverage to ensure proper watering and no missed spots. Thats the proper way to do it with rotors. hunter is ok for that application but rain bird has a much nicer gear drive and dont usually wear out. as for spray heads you want to slightly overlap depending on what your waterin and gallonage used. 9 zones seems a little extreme without knowing your square footage. I used to get a a half acre on 6 zones with spray heads but also metering the gallonage at the nozzle. Also their price may seem a little high caus ein almost everytown in NJ you can not hook into domestic water and therefore requires a seperate tap or well as well as a permit to install and an inspection to ensure a seperate tap or well is done properly. sometimes the twp also requires also for the installer listed on the permit to posess not only a license for irrigation but a plumbing license for the tap too.
