Rent a ditch witch from home depot. Most of them have them available will be the best $100 or so you ever spend. Most can get the pipe up to 12" deep and will pull 1" pipe easy. Usually you can get a 100ft pull on 1" with their style, and most units can even go through heavy roots.. *I work for my buddy on weekends doing sprinkler installs and repairs been doing it for 8 years*

What heads, valves, and timer are you using? As well if you don't have a 3/4" water line going to the outside, I would recommend upgrading to that will make a big difference on the performance of the system. If you have any questions feel free to ask. And if you have any gate valves on the water line that will feed the sprinkler it would be best to change those over to ball valves.
