Your sprinklers have a rating in terms of psi and flow rate so go by that, then any sprinkler supplier should have a pump or point you in the right direction. Same type of pump you would use for a well, I would think. I would however look more into a drip system for flower beds or garden as lawn sprinklers use a lot of water so it might not be worth while, yours may be different but for example mine use about 300 gallons per zone (x3 zones) each time they run. I also planned something similar when I installed my sprinklers but the savings didn't work out to my favor. What I did instead was use the RO waste in a circulation tank to feed my humidifier, although this does nothing in the summer it works well in the winter. Might do a drip system for flower beds next year, we'll see.
