What part of Georgia do you live in?
I did an 8 zone system (.25 acre lot) about 6 years ago for around $500. Basically, the timer/controller will run between $50-75 (1). Each valve will run about $10-15 (8-9). Sprinker heads range from $1 - $15 each (one about every 10' for head to head coverage). 10' SCH 40 1/2" PVC pipe will run about $1 - $2 each (lots of it). Assorted elbows, T's, connectors and such is what probalby costs the most..... Sure, individually they only run .10 each, but you need hundreds of them!!
I also rented a ditch witch for the day ($150), but saved a ton of time.
Plan it all out first, make a diagram of it, know where you are going to tap into the water line. Check to see if you need to get a permit. You should also have the utility company come out and mark all of your power, water, sewer lines and such.....
Good luck!
