Xfinity simply lays the cable on the ground using the shortest run possible. They then hire a subcontractor to “bury” the cable. The sub simply cut a slit in the grass and tucked the cable into the slit and stomped it down with their feet. Where the cable ran through our landscaping, they just rolled a few of the landscaping rocks over the cable. Where the cable had to cross the edging barrier between the landscaping and lawn, they left it exposed going over the edging, where it would have gotten hit by our lawn company while weed whacking along the edging. It was the absolute laziest, minimum effort, job I have ever witnessed. I had to pull up our edging, run the cable underneath it, and carefully reinstall the edging. I then had to buy several bags of landscape rocks to actually cover the cable in our garden areas. I also had to buy some concrete anchors and cable sleeves to attach and protect the cable where it ran up the side of the house.
