Hi Anil, if you're gonna bother putting in a partial system, you might as well do it all. The material is the cheap part.
The only thing that is a bit of a challenge is going under the driveway and sidewalk(s). You can rent a vibra machine that has the long spud drill power takeoff on the front, to get under obstructions. It also doesn't tear up the turf real bad. It pulls the plastic pipe with a chinese finger, while it vibrates and slices the soil.
If you only do part, you'll be going back to do the rest. ;)
