Reply to comment by love2go in Redoing a brick patio, but gas line is in this area by knewtoff

I have had utilities marked before, but it didn’t mark how deep. The only one that was labeled was gas (all other are overhead)

If you can catch the utility locator while they are there, they can tell you approximately how deep it it. Where I am they usually mark the depth in one place, but I can never read their handwriting.

I think the minimum depth for a gas line is typically 12 inches, but that doesn't guarantee it was installed correctly.

Nor does it take into consideration how much grade may have changed from when it was installed.
