Will keep you posted for sure.

Right now I'm leaning towards a rain bird system, as the backyard isn't overly complicated. There are sets you can buy that come with everything you need for a couple hundred bucks.

If I want to get complicated and setup extra zones for watering the flower beds / shrubs and hanging plants, then I will likely go down the design my own route and buy the various pieces from rona/lowes etc.

And great call on the hops. I've heard that it can grow up to a foot/day, and that they provide awesome privacy quite early in the season.
