A figure-8 lawn with desert surround and irrigation system is achievable in phases. Start: visit a local irrigation supply house (like Ewing) for free design help and parts. They'll provide layout, head selection, and zoning guidance.
Negotiate with contractors: offer sweat equity (digging, demolition, planting) for cost reduction. Many accept labor exchange at standard rates. Get a detailed plan first, then bid the hardscape/planting separately from irrigation.
Phase 1: Irrigation (trenching, pipe, heads). Phase 2: Hardscape (edging, pathways). Phase 3: Soil prep and planting. Phase 4: Mulch and establishment.
Online resources: manufacturer sites (Rain Bird, Hunter) have excellent DIY guides. Local extension offices offer climate-appropriate plant lists.
