The ditch witches work pretty well. The guy I hired to dig the trench
for my coax had 300 feet done in one morning.

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.
