Default Yikes - XFinity has to bury new cable line to my house

So XFinity came out today since I could not get the modem to connect. After doing troubleshooting, the technician determined the main line from their cable box located in my neighbors yard to my house has gone bad and needs to be replaced and buried underground. This sounds super scary to me. Do they essentially dig up my yard? What about the fact that the line needs to go across my driveway as the house connection is on the opposite side from their cable box? I hope they can go underneath my driveway without destroying it. Has anyone experienced this - the burying of a cable line? What about replacing a line where a buried line existed before? Appreciate any knowledge or help.

Thanks,

Cindy
