And as you say, there will be excess soil to get rid of, so maybe a skip
or 2 at £200 each.


The excess soil will be the same volume as the cable being laid
unless its being backfilled with gravel or similar.


The soil you remove will have been compressed. You won't get that
compreession when you return it.


Not if you simply shovel it back in, no.
