As another poster said, it probably wouldn't be a big deal to do a basic install yourself but I would not have a concrete saw so I'd probably be restricted to just the rear zone. I consider the training and advice provided by Dogwatch to be extremely important. That's something you can't get in a kit.
The Dogwatch installation wasn't cheap but if I were to do it again, I'd do it the same way.
Innoteck sends a DVD illustrating the training procedure. If you know how to loop your wire you can do the entire yard. The driveway would be a forbidden zone. Then, as per proper training you only should have one exit point for your dogs to exit the safe zone, that would be through the garage door and down the driveway with you.
