I have had 2 sprinkler heads damaged when the concrete donuts were damaged. I replaced the damaged heads (ACE hardware was very helpful) and then the concrete donut.
You're good. In some softer soil the heavy riding mowers will push the donuts into the ground, exposing the sprinkler heads to damage.
ACE is the helpful place. My choice for most hardware needs.
