What 60 year old? Lots of them. 60 is not that old. Just about all of the most "handy do it yourselfers" are 60 to 80+ years old. Often you have to about tie them up so they do not go out and do such things, if you feel they are just to damn old. Besides he has a daughter that could also dig or perform the hard on you manual labor.
A damn sprinkler system and sod does not cost no 5-10k out of pocket to a landscaper. Especially for a lawn his size which is almost a postage stamp compared to many. Labor wise it is about 200-400 bucks. Sod wise it is about 200-500 bucks. Parts wise for a broken sprinkler system is about a 1-50 bucks. All in all it would come out under a grand in about any case, out of pocket for a landscaper. My wife has only been doing such crap for several years. Only huge variance could be what is broken in the sprinkler system. Unless the control panel went out though, it would be cheap to fix. If it was the control panel then manual override still works.
