Where can I find pop-up sprinkler heads?

How far apart do sprinkler heads need to be?

The distance between the sprinkler heads should not be more than 1 foot greater than the width of the planter. In other words, if the planter is 8 feet wide you would install half circle heads on both sides of the planter, not more than 9 feet apart from each other.

How can I find my sprinkler lines without digging?
