Hi Folks,
We inherited a large garden about 15 years ago with our villa. The garden is fed by a well, the supply is very good. We have a pop up sprinkler system which up to the last 9 months was working OK however, of late at least 50 per cent has now malfunctioned.
Most of the system is underground, I have looked for leaks, changed the pop ups but still no luck, we now water the garden (50 percent) with hose pipes which is a real pain!
My question is: What would it take to lay a new system? Not underground but around the garden, is it a difficult and costly process? I realise the cost depends on the size of the garden.
Thanks in anticipation.

I would go and talk to Ulas who owns the Garden Center on the road, just past Acmenya Restaurant in Alsancak. He recommended the people who put our system in a couple of years ago.

I think he means Ulus from Nature Garden - up from the Golden Lady.
You're on the right track replacing the old in-built system with an above-ground. The latter is far far easier to maintain and any faults can be easily appraised. We had an underground system and the headaches were legion. Invisible leaks, blocked pipes and a surprising amount of critters taking up residency!
Another preson who can help is Özkül from Press Teknik on the Lapta/Alsancak border. If you stipulate you want aboveground and take him the measurements he'll be able to recommend the correct capacity delivery-pump and adequate water connections.
