Starting from scratch. Bought a forclosure one year ago with poorly maintained/designed landscaping. Would like boulders and shade trees, possibly a dry creek. Yard is smallish/medium in size. Built on a small hill, may need a retaining wall?

We need a detailed analysis of our landscaping situation, including replanting some beds, identification of best plants to use in yard, installation of grass, etc.

Sprinkler systems are the most efficient way to water your lawn and garden. Hosing your garden can lead to waste of water because the water can't be targeted to specific areas. With a garden sprinkler system, you can make sure that your garden receives the exact amount of water it needs without any waste. Home sprinkler systems generally come with either spray heads or rotor heads. Spray heads can either be hidden and emerge into view when the system is activated, or can be visible from above the ground even when the system is switched off. Spray heads release large amounts of water in a short duration, and this makes them ideal for watering large and flat lawns. Rotor heads however, are limited by the amount of water they can release, and so are ideally suited to sloped areas.
Home irrigation systems can also come in the form of automatic irrigation systems. These may cost more, but come with added features like allowing you to control the amount of water that is released in a specific area of the garden. Home owners who travel frequently are likely to benefit from having an automatic sprinkle system that can be timed to release water at pre determined times of the day. The kind of soil that your garden has will also determine the kind of home sprinkler system you need to install. For instance, sandy soil tends to be porous and water can quickly penetrate through these pores leading to a massive waste of water. In the case of clay type soil, water needs to be delivered at frequent intervals with a gap in-between to allow the water to soak through into the earth.
