Very good idea!
Canon, not sure possible or even that important but I'd like to see at the edges of the trenches interspersed earth and transparent areas such that the trench blends with the ground texture, maybe like adding a simple plate to the object, same shape as trench but slightly larger and that plate textured with earth but having transparent holes in it? Like the grass or dirt airfield plates which have the same feature.
BTW, larger trenches would be difficult to place on uneven terrain, so it's good to have small and large trench segments for that...
EDIT: or maybe not modifying the 3D object but just adding some green patches to the edges of the earth texture, making look a bit irregular too.
