Im not sure if this section was the best place for this question, but here it goes. I am looking for the best way to run a circuit underneath an asphalt driveway. Its only about 10' wide. I just thought some of you may have run into this before. Im not sure if I should cut the asphalt or if some of you guys with lots of experience might have a suggestion. Thanks in advance.

What are the soil conditions there. Here in the sand I would water jet that.
If you anticipate doing this 1-2 times a year consider this tool.

I've used it with good results in a clay-based soil.

Thanks for the info. That may be just what I need.

If you don't want to spend cash for the Borzit, you can dig a hole on each side of
the driveway. Then use an "Armstrong driver" & drive a piece of rigid pipe
underneath the driveway to use as a sleeve.

I've done that in the past and it works fairly well. Try to cheat and not go deep enough and it will ride up every time and run through the crushed stone right underneath the asphalt.
