Yep.  Do like I just did a year or two ago.  I talked about it for 10
years and finally did it.  Get with your electrical supplier and tell
them you want to bury the line.  They will put a meter pole at the edge
of the property and then bury the secondary the rest of the way to the
house.  I went from a 4-pole span to a single meter pole and new service
entrance.  The good news is, I got them to leave the old poles so I
could play with wires and other things on them.  It's also a good time
to increase the size of the secondary feed, should it need it.
