"We will microtrench across your driveway.  This will give you an expansion joint that, when filled, will possibly prevent expansion cracking"  ( but you would need to chamfer the edges)...

It is always appropriate to give the customer the option.

Option 1 - We will microtrench across your driveway. This will leave a line that you may consider objectionable. The cost is $0, or $X. Option 2 - We will bore underneath your driveway. This will disrupt the soil and/or plants on either side of the driveway and leave no marks on your driveway. It will cost $X x 10.

or something like that.

    Right. But then “you destroyed my driveway/damaged my

    The microtrencher saw will zip right across any driveway, super
    quick and easy.  You can use a missile or even a chunk of 3/4”
    water pipe hooked to a garden hose  and push it under.

    Still doesn’t solve the age old issue of how to cross the
    driveway without a directional drill.

    I am doing some construction in a residential neighborhood for a
    “very very large” company that I cannot mention.  The machines
    being used are a small ditch witch trenchers outfitted with a
    small rock saw disk.  It cuts a slot 1” wide and 12” deep.  3
    microducts are put in the bottom.  Then flowable fill, then mastic.
    I am not doing the microtrenching, but I want to learn how to do
    it.  Seems super simple and easy.
    I am doing directional drilling in areas not suitable to
    microtrenching.
    I have not yet seen how they get from the trench over to the
    place where one of the ducts loops over and back to provide
    service to a pair of homes. Lots of loops of orange duct
    sticking up in the grass strips.  I will have to ask my crew how
    they are getting over there.
