NC Indiana
Part of it depends on soils. Most here is trenched/plowed in and installed. I have areas where to get any cover at all, we're in the glacial till and to keep it draining, we put stone around it or if you have to do a deep cut through a hill then we stone it. Tile sock is used in the sand and gravel areas around here as well. We also fight Iron Ocre which will seal off the tile once it hits oxygen in some of our mucks so that creates other challenges.

If you're working in a trench near previously disturbed soils (old tile/pipelines/etc), remember to over excavate as they can and will slough off on you.
