Code in most areas requires a backflow preventer. If your yard will freeze in the winter, you want an air-port to blow the system out. The systems work best when you have lots of pressure. I was going re-do mine myself after the pool, but the estimate was $1200, for 2 zones, plus repair/reconnection of the front yard. He had to run the main line all the way around the house. I paid $100 extra, and he installed 2 hosebibs in the far corners of my yard.
