gfci outlet

hi,

I have installed a small pond. I called an electrician to put a GFCI outlet near the pond. He told me I could save a significant amount of money if I dig the trench for the line. Well... I had called Miss Utility before digging the hole for the pond and there is a Cox Cable line that is in the way. I am bummed about this. Even if I dont dig the trench... how is the electrician going to get around this ( there is actually no way around it literally). Thank you so much in advance. I would have called the electrician but he is out of town the next 4 days.

Thanks

Why can't you dig by hand where the cable line goes and have the electrician run his conduit under the cable line?

EDIT:TK's answer hit the same time as mine, I was not trying to copy yours.

Thanks for the insight. My husband has been in Iraq and he usually has my answers for me. I am a little clueless when it comes to this stuff. Thanks again!
