How wide would you make the trench, and is there a machine you know of
that would do this work that can be rented?

Oh, there may be sprinkler pipe in the path of the trench.

My neighbor did this job himself.

He rented this little tiny trailered backhoe. I'd never seen a machine like this. It was basically a seat and a little tiny bucket, no more than six inches wide. It looked like a toy.

It was very slow, I saw him out there working all day running from the house to the street. One of those big construction backhoes could have done the job in an hour, I imagine. But the little one worked fine. It looked like he went down from about two feet at the house to nearly four at the street.

There aren't going to be any roots under the street so I wouldn't worry about that part.

If it's a three inch line, how big will it be after lining? I'd rather just replace it.

Google "towable mini backhoe."

You could buy one cheaper than paying $17k.
