    They are normally talking about underground services, chambers, inspection hatches, wiring, conduit, pipes etc that may be compromise by your works (ie digging, excavating, planting etc).

    There maybe none, but you need to show due diligence (ie you have checked - how, where and document it).

    Consider "Dial before you Dig" checking services, if needed and/or learn to use a CAT device.

    If commercial works, you can normally tap the Surveyor or Architect for the relevant CAD layer plan to start you off.

    If Residential, have client look at Conveyance plans and/or Deeds to see where services enter/exit demised land.

    Ok, would say the only two tasks that could be relevant are the Pesticide application (water courses, storm drains etc) and clearing / scraping moss (damaging cables, surfaces etc)

    Probably a generic request form being used and covers a multitude of trades
