Hi,

We dug a trench to lay some wires in a 2" conduit a foot deep and a
foot wide. After we refill and put sod back on it, how much settlement
can we expect? In other words, how far above level should we leave it?

Compact the fill while you're backfilling and you will not have much
settling.
Otherwise you're just guessing, and it is as likely to be too high as
too low - at least for a while.
