Landscaping with explosives is best left to real professionals. Mostly it results in circular craters and a lot of noise and unintended destruction. No first hand experience, just what I learned from Mythbusters.

When our sewer line started having issues we had a problem with the PCV pipe coupling tap onto the main line. Some plumber did not glue it right. The good new is the line is in our back yard. The bad news is it connected just under my storage building.

I had the choice of emptying the storage building, and disassembly and move it to give the backhoe room to get in there, or run a new line.

So we had to run a new line from the house to the main sewer line. The main line is 7 feet down. I have pictures somewhere of the guy in the hoe and he is below ground. Fortunately we have hard clay soil. It is like bricks and he did not have to line the walls with barriers. He said the clay just never moves. I was real glad I did not have to get in that hole.

The line only had to go 6 feet around the storage building and there is the main line.
