I need tips on how to interview and select landscape/irrigation system companies. Questions, pricing, etc.?

I recently purchased an 11 year old home in Fort Worth, Texas. The yard is in bad shape. There is no sprinkler system. The front yard is small & on a slope with a few old oak trees. There is no grass & the soil is washing away down to the sidewalk. Tree shade probably prevents grass growth. It looks as though past watering has been very minimal. A retaining wall would look nice and probably help with the erosion problem. I need something easy to maintain & cost efficient. The backyard is large with mostly weedy bermuda grass, a few scraggly fruit trees & 2 old large oaks. I would rather invest more in the front to add curb appeal, but the back needs a little something. I definitely want a sprinkler system in both front and back. Summers in Texas are extreme. My budget is limited. The sprinkler system ($2,600) will take about half of my available budget. I have no experience in landscaping. Any tips, advice, resources or other information would be greatly appreciated.
