I have a install to do that is 250 feet underground in the past i have just used a flat shovel just enough to cut the grass and some dirt under and lifted up the grass and stuck a CAT6 cable under it that has held up fine for many years. Only issue being a sore foot in the end due to hitting rocks. :)

Since then i have a weed eater edger attachment, i'm thinking of trying it to dig a small trench with it. Sure you could rent a proper trencher but what is the fun in that.
 
buy the the piped pay a sprinkler man to trench it
 
Sounds like a good way to ruin a weedeater/edger but maybe it’s up to the task. What kind of traffic will run over the line? Riding mower, tractor, trucks? For 250 ft I’d rent a mini trencher made for irrigation lines at least if not something that would get you down to 12in or so if there will be heavy vehicles going over it
