The question is rather what you want to do with connections at the property boundary. Everything is accessible from the house. Crossing the garage or the driveway would only serve the neighboring property.

You can of course do that - I would have rather laid them frost-protected in / under the house.
Do you have a specific model in mind? Where do you get your Hunter products from? It's somewhat more difficult than with Gardena, which you can get in any hardware store. My property is 660 sqm. The one in the picture is about half of it. The other half goes south. How would you lay out the irrigation zones here? Starting from the garage 1-2x zones towards the north and 4x zones (including shrubs and trees) towards the garden? I've heard Gardena offers better solutions for shrubs and trees, is that true? The rotators will definitely be from Hunter.I would plan with two distribution boxes (with compressed air connection). One at the back and one at the front.
Well, I have KNX anyway, so hardly any additional effort. If I need a computer later, I can retrofit it.The control via KNX has two disadvantages. 1. Programming effort and secondly usually more expensive (different valves or additional transformer, actuators). But you are freer with it. However, since you are feeding from the water line, the biggest advantage doesn't help you -> running several zones in parallel. Irrigation computers can't do that.
I don't have one yet, which would you recommend? 25mm?What kind of water meter do you have (15mm, 20mm or 25mm)? How big is the line for the connection to the valve boxes? Usually, you cannot get more than 2 m3/h through the water line.
My property is 22m x 31m.If you have long distances like around the house, you can only connect a few and small sprinklers.
