I'm going to be adding an inground sprinkler head below where the red dot is (I can only add one, and cannot add two). I'd like to have this area of my yard waterered without soaking the brick/sand patio.

Are there any sprinkler heads that spray a certain distance when facing forward and can increase in distance as they turn? If so, can you recommend them? I'd love to not miss 4 feet of grass to the left and right by setting it to only spray 13 feet.

If you have any other suggestions that may help my situation, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your reply!

What about putting the sprinkler against the bricks where the little red car is parked? That way it would get the fence a little wet but would reach everything without getting on the brick very much.

Ideally, that is where I'd prefer to put the sprinkler head, but I wouldn't want to be wetting my neighbors yard everyday.

I don't know of a sprinkler head that will do that. But you might just put a little deflector cover over the sprinkler so when it shoots that direction the deflector determines how far it goes.

I only know of pop up spray heads that can do what you need. You can get up to 15 ft distance but you need the right pressure. I would call K-Rain, they are in Florida. The male and female designation is the thread. Go with a center strip and place it 1/2 way to the fence or get a side strip pattern. You can get these at HD or Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc.
