Masters do sir Walter roll on for 9 bucks for approx 0.8m2. Easy diy if your ground is already level.

Really simple to do it DIY, plenty of stuff online to help, even you could do it.

Done it at my old place, but time constraints and logistics make it difficult in this instance. It's for my rental property. Will ring around tomorrow for some quotes, if not too expensive, will just pay someone to do

got a powerpoint outside? Its really simple doing solenoids. The output is only 24V and dick all amps so you don't need a sparky, and the solenoids are just two wires.

if its a small area like you say
- a simple retic controller
- bridge off your tap supply if you can like you say, use another inline tap and master solenoid
- run a pipe to your next solenoid and output to sprinker head line. at the end of the pipe just fold it over and cable tie it tight with 3 ties.
- nice bit of conduit down to the ground from the box and run the wire through some poly if you're worried about ever chopping through it.

ideally it would be much better to run off a larger supply. 19mm poly supply is more ideal as the pop up sprinklers use a fair bit of water. Depends on your water pressure but and how many heads you will be using. Should supply 4 3/4's ok on 13mm pipe, make sure you get ones that have a low LPM so you can keep the pressure up.

if you're putting down new lawn it needs to be kept from drying out. The roll on stuff needs a bit of love at the start and I would rather put my faith in a setup system considering the cost of the shit. Needs watering like 3 times a day depending on the temp
