I’ll call 811, the ‘call before you dig number’. One obvious pitfall might be that if the service needs to be dug up for repair the building would be in the the way. However if it needed work I would simply dig around the building and replace the entire power wire. It would only be a few extra feet of wire. How expensive is wire these days? The alternative is to place the building a few hundred feet in another location. But it’s a lot more trenching and wire to run power and water to the building. Thanks
How sloped is it. If you need a lot of material maybe earth then sand. Or I’ve used gravel then sand. And I’ve used pea gravel instead of a sand base. Then flashed sand into the cracks.
