DIY all the way.
You have two watering areas. front and rear. Front has three sections, rear has two. You will most likely need two timers, unless you can bring a hose from the front to the back.
I just rebuilt my irrigation system to drip. 4 raised beds, 20x 5 gallon buckets, and hopefully more soon. Let me know if you have any questions on this, just doing a data dump here.
I am assuming your water comes from a hose. Get a cheap hose timer, (i'm just going to link to some simple stuff on amazon, not the exact thing you should buy, you can get a lot at home depot and it might be cheaper there) https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-Single-Programmable-Standard-Packaging/dp/B004INGS8S you will probably need two.
Get some 1/2" irrigation tubing. This will run the majority of water. Think of this as the main line. https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-T70-50S-Irrigation-Distribution/dp/B00J9Q2TC8/ref=sr_1_4?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1521909237&sr=1-4&keywords=1%2F2+inch+irrigation+tubing
You will need a hole punch (this was a lot cheaper at home depot) https://www.amazon.com/Drip-Irrigation-Standard-Tubing-Punch/dp/B0035LSREW/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1521909306&sr=1-5&keywords=1%2F2+inch+irrigation+tubing+hole+punch
Then you will need the smaller tubing. This will bring the water from the main 1/2" line to each plant. https://www.amazon.com/KORAM-Irrigation-Distribution-Tubing-Watering/dp/B013WJYKZQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1521909338&sr=1-5&keywords=drip+irrigation+tubing
Then you will need some emitters. There are a ton of options, I would recommend going to home depot to browse. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_asi_1?rh=i%3Alawngarden%2Ck%3Adrip+irrigation+emmiters&keywords=drip+irrigation+emmiters&ie=UTF8&qid=1521909391
For my emitters I use mostly drip but in a couple areas I use sprayers.
You are going to need some other random parts, and will need to take trips to the hardware store for them because if you are like me you measure once and cut twice. You might need T connectors, you will need the adapter to fit the hose to your water times, maybe a pressure regulator, and some hose terminators for the main line.
I am going to follow up with another comment on installation.
[edit] More detail on connectors
You will need the 3/4 to 1/2 connector. Check this list for a bunch of the connectors. I didn't need a pressure regulator because I have shit water pressure. But you might as too high water pressure is bad.
