I want to have an irrigation system in the front yard, but don't have the money for a professional.

Found Lawn Belt online as a DIY solution. Has anyone tried it?

    I just watched the little video they have on their website...seems like a workable option. Depending on how large your space is a few zones may be needed. The only thing that I found questionable...is the self draining part of the "heads" I would still feel better about a "blow down" in the fall...the hoses seem like they could handle a freeze / thaw but heads may be vulnerable.

    Thanks for the answer, but I'm still hoping for more ideas. Does anyone have experience using it?

    Jill, My lawn has suffered this year too, I don't have inground sprinklers and I am finding ways to resolve this issue. I don't want to spend the money right now on installing permanent sprinklers. A few options I shortlisted...

    Jill, I just found this awesome information about this guy doing the entire installation all by himself, he claims it costed him $500. This guy is so detailed with all his explanation, I feel like doing the project myself. Not sure if you will go this route, but here is a link at least for the sake of inspiration

    Yamini, you are a doll!! This information is great and gives me some other options to consider. I'm definitely going to go the DIY route because I can't afford the alternative. Still wish I could find someone who actually has installed LawnBelt because supposedly it doesn't need to be "blown out" or winterized. THANKS!

    Anytime Jill, Let me know when you start on this project. Are you Ok?, I just heard you'll experienced a 5.8 Earthquake in the East Coast!

    A little shaken up. Sorry for the delay... we evacuated the building. Scary. We're back to work, but I'm worried about aftershocks or maybe that was just the pre-shock.

    Hmm, yes I agree, the world seems to be getting crazier by the day...

    My brothers kids are all so excited and scared at the same time, it was their first one, anyways be safe and be prepared...Good Luck!
