No sweat. I like to give my perspective when possible about electrical safety because it’s an important part of my day to day.

If you have some visual cues you can possibly hand excavate (gently/with a shovel finding the utility and then excavating following the cable) for a small section. I’m not certain exactly the scope of your project either, so this may not

If you hit your incoming power you are relying on the protection device outside your home to cut the power. The potential for fault current is much higher than if you were to work on a plug inside your home.

Good luck with the project.
