You can bury to whatever depth you want, I ran ours right next to the house foundation and down about 2 inches to the weedwhackers would not hit the wires. In the garden landscaping, I tend to be an inch or so below the top of the stones or mulch.
IMHO, burying the wire in the lawn is the hard part, this grass is much harder to cut through.
