Sprinkler Head Pressure

dland2000

I have a bed of plants up against my house that is about 3 feet tall, and 30 feet long, and three feet deep (that is, it sticks out three feet from the house). and I just removed all the old shrubs and added new ones. Since the new shrubs are smaller than the old ones, the sprinklers are actually spraying past the shrubs and out of the planter. I'm using standard shrub heads on the sprinklers. I went to Lowe's and Home Depot and couldn't find any heads that would spray a distance of less than four or five feet, which is still too far. The ones currently in place have screws on the top and I could try adjusting the distance on each one, but will it put too much pressure on the system to have every sprinkler in one station be throttled back that much? Or, alternatively is there some other type of head I can use?
