    Getting a locate of your utilities, they paint with spraypaint on your yard where the utilities lay so you wont cut them when digging.

    Nandy is right. Many states (Iowa included) have "Before You Dig" laws.. We're not supposed to drive a fence post or plant a tree without calling.. Service is free - but damned expensive if you don't and hit something.
    If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.

    Yep...yellow wire that runs along the gas line "tracing" it so gas line location can be easily itentified without digging/
