Firstly, decide on the sprinkler system that will be most suited to your backyard - This can be done by taking a note of the dimensions of the yard. Compare that to the circumference or diameter average that the sprinkler heads will reach. Some of the kits vary in range from 50m to over 200m. This should allow you to count the number of heads needed to be part of the sprinkler system.
Now, sketch out a rough plan on where the connection hoses is to be put-down and where each of the sprinkler heads is to be situated. With that sorted, it's time to start the actual installation.
It is important with these lawn watering systems that the showerheads are buried at ground level, and not at the height that you would normally expect to maintain the lawn.

Once the heads in the lawn sprinkler system are in place, set the setting for each spray pattern – this usually only needs to be done once. The settings might vary with each head, as it will depend on the area to be watered.
Now activate the lawn sprinkler system. Is the pop-up action of the sprinkler heads free and clear? In a similar way, does the heads retract fully (below the lawn line) once the flow of water is cut. If no problems are found, fill the trenches.
With a pop up impact sprinkler system installed with care, you can be safe in knowing that the lawn will receive the ideal amount of water at all times.
