I'm starting from scratch on my front lawn and installing a new
sprinkler system. At this point, I have nothing but dirt, and I'm
wondering how far above ground should the 2" spray-head sprinklers sit
so they'll be the proper height once the sod is laid?

Thanks.

depends on variety of the sod and whom is cutting it. best guess without
knowing would be abt 1 inch

Get the 4 inch. Then at least an inch above the dirt. Won't be long
and you will be digging them up to extend the risers.

If you can put in a rock border and don't put them in the lawn. The
sprinklers will drop and the lawn will build up so I would pick up the
tallest you can. Also do not short yourself on coverage. Don't be
afraid to use more zones either it may be a little more work at the
start but being able to water where it needs it is a plus!
