It is for Sure,whomever is doing the digging/trenching to first
determine that there isn't anything underneath the ground that shouldn't
be torn up.There is special equipment that I believe some trenching
companies use to make sure there aren't any cables/pipes/wires under
there.I own one of those devices that I once bought at a Goodwill
store.I doubt if it works though.

You call the utility companies. They have people who come out and
mark everything that's buried, free of charge.

Digging a trench for cable,
 

A ripper bar mounted on a heavy pickup truck will get a trench deep
enough,I think.Put it in four wheel drive and mash that go pedal.A piece
of two inch diameter steel bar with a steel plate welded to it and bore
a hole in the plate (a cutting torch can cut out a hole) and mount it
where the hitch ball mounts,jack up the rear wheels,let the bar dig into
the ground,let the rear wheels back down on the ground,good to go.

Digging a trench for cable,
 

yeah. And if he digs DEEP enough it not only is exciting, but expensive:
especially if he dif not do a locate to find underground utilities :) I used
to process such requests in a call center.

or whatever.I saw a commercial on tv and a guy had a metal bar mounted
on the back of his riding lawn mower/little yard tractor.He was driving
foward and the bar was digging a trench.That would come in handy for
digging a trench for coax cable for radio antennas.A bar could be
fastened to a car or pickup truck and do the same thing.Just put it in
gear and go.
