If you go the DIY route just lay the wire on top of the landscaping and wait for nighttime or cooler weather to bury it. Also, get the type of lights with REPLACEABLE bulbs (LEDS) otherwise you will have to replace the entire unit when a LED fails.

How far down do you bury the wire? I would get a straight, flat shovel and make the line that way. Push it into the earth, wiggle it to make a V opening, drop the wire down and step on the V to join the earth together again. Much easier down here vs up north.
