I have been "in the business" for more than a couple of years, so if you end up doing it yourself, feel free to PM me and ill help out as much as i can.
Some general points:
If you end up doing it yourself, besome familiar with all of the plumbing codes in your city. Many cities have different codes as to the type of pipe you can use, the types of valves, etc. If you encounter a term you dont understand, let me know and i'll see if i can explain.
When you buy your products, try to get them from an actual irrigation supply store (might be more difficult to find in michigan than CA) as opposed to a general hardware store. The supplies will be of dramatically higher quality.
I can reccomend specific brands if you want as well when the time comes.
Whats the scope of your yard? How big is your lawn? Do you have a garden that you want to put on a system as well?
let us know, and good luck.
