Hello all,After an outgrageous quote from a fence builder in the area, I'vedecided to stick to my initial plan on building my own fence.I'm in Northern Virginia and had my lines (power, cable, phone, etc.)marked after a request to Miss Utility. Looking at where they markedthe lines however, they come uncomfortabley close to my intended pathfor my fence posts.My question is how close can I set posts (with concrete) to theselines? Right now, with the ten inch hole I am planning, the lines areabout 2 inches from where I plan on setting the posts.Thanks,Chris

Absent a regulation to the contrary or cutting the lines, I can't see why you can't concrete the the utility lines themselves.

How close can I dig to utility lines and place concrete posts?
