Would that be a "locate the utilities lines" company? Yes. Always!!!
Usually you install irrigation lines about 12 inches down depending on where your frost line is. We use "netafim" for the shrubs/perennials in the beds and this lays on top of the ground, under the top dressing. It's brown hose which has holes in it every 12 inches. It's a great product and saves having all that spaghetti line everywhere in your beds!
You have your system blown out and winterized so the lines don't freeze so it's not necessary to bury them 10 feet deep!
You can rent a trencher from a local rental company which makes digging the lines a whole lot easier and faster than digging by hand.
