20 years when I put in my sprinkler system I did it myself. For some of the shoveling necessary I went to a local alcohol rehab facility that requires the residents to have some source of income. I hired two guys to come shovel dirt. Places where the trencher would not fit, had to be dug by hand. One hole needed to be dug up for a manifold of valves.
I handed them shovels and told them what to dig, and I got back to my tasks. I paid them 5 bucks per hour, and bought them lunch and that was the only real breaks we took. I had to go pick them up, and take them back to the facility. It was 100+ degrees and the digging was in pure sun baked clay. Like digging through adobe bricks. They did manage to break on shovel. I welded it back up and handed them a pickax to break up the clay first. I bet they slept real well that night.
