Besides pre-marking and avoiding sprinkler heads:
- Can an aerator dig deep enough to strike the underground sprinkler lines?
- Can a sod cutter cut under grass deep enough to strike the underground sprinkler lines?
Any other concerns?

1It would depend on how deep the particular sprinkler lines were. I don't think there's a general answer for this, it's going to be specific to how the install was done. – Ecnerwal Jun 11 '21 at 17:39

@Ecnerwal Yeah, have to put trust in the installer that they installed lines deep enough. – Stay-at-home-dad Jun 14 '21 at 19:15

No. I've since discovered most sod cutters only dig 2-½" max deep and most aerators only punch 3" max deep. Sprinkler lines in northern states are usually 6" deep.
If someone has a better answer I'm willing to change my accepted answer to yours.
