You have to deal with crossing under roads, driveways, and sidewalks.

In my neck of the woods, I see these all the time.

You have to avoid existing buried telephone, internet, cable, water, sewer, and gas lines.

This is a relatively small version, and it goes down a full three feet. In my experience they are easy to use and can be found at equipment rental places all over.
Saves a lot of money and hassle of replacing your lawn. Also I would definitely go with the conduit - these create a trench just wide enough for them. Just be sure to run several lengths of string down it for later CAT5 or whatever.

A "ditch witch" is good self-driving trench digger that can be rented for under $100 US/day around here including trailer. Look for this or similar.

Supplies: Hoe (one per helper)

Well, if each helper is getting a ho, the hoes might help dig if they're paid enough. It's hiring them that'll be the problem:

Ho, "Wanna date?"

you: "Well, yeah and help digging a ditch. How much for both?"

If the ho is an undercover cop, though, it may be not only illegal, but a problem with the police union - so beware!

Shit! It's hoe with an 'e'. Dammit, my reading comprehension has gone to shit!

Forget the backhoe what he needs is a Ditch Witch. We had the same issue in Oregon, we lived on 280 acres and lived 1/2 a mile from the main road. It really is your only option if you are going to live in the boondocks.

I think it would be a lot more fun to compromise a computer with this.
