We have some spring branches from a spruce pine tree hanging over our yard. I am wanting to cut off about 20 ft above the ground to give some less blockage to get more light into our yard. They are just hanging too low for our comfort.

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?

Sprinkler Systems
Garden sprinkler systems are the most effective way of ensuring that your lawn and garden are well watered. They also help in water conservation, because of the precise amount of water they deliver. Using a garden hose can be a wasteful process, because of the amount of water that is released. Garden sprinkler systems can be either manual or automatic. Automatic irrigation systems are more expensive, but they are ideally suited to home owners who travel frequently. These systems can be programmed to release water at specified times during the day. You can also use your automatic sprinkler system to determine the amount of water that has to be sprayed over certain areas, thus encouraging water conservation.
Lawn sprinkler systems can have either spray heads or rotor heads. Spray heads can release large quantities of water in a given period of time. This makes them suitable for watering large lawns and flat areas. Rotor heads on the other hand, have a limited application which means that they deliver water in a more uniform pattern. These kinds of home sprinkler systems are more suited to sloppy areas. Your sprinkler system type will also depend on the kind of soil that your garden has. Porous sandy soil for instance, can lead to excess water quickly penetrating through the pores and past the roots. This leads to a waste of water. These soil types therefore need to get smaller supplies of water at frequent intervals.
