I just completed an underground cable layout for a suite above my garage/shop which is 80 feet behind my home where the main electric box is located. Underground electric cable come in different sizes depending on how many amps you want and is designed to be layed underground without a conduit. The cable wires into a standard panel box. You should consult an electrician to determine how many amps you need and to do the hook up. Also regulations differ from region to region.
We dug a trench 18 inches deep (may be different requirements where you are) layed in the special underground electric cable with a yellow cable marker and a 2" PVC pipe next to it. At the ends of the PVC pipe you should put 45 degree corners which makes it easier for pulling thru other cables such as telephone and TV, closed circuit TV/audio, music, etc. To make it even easier, as you put the pipes together run a heavy string thru to use as a pull thru.
I have a 225 amp service at the house and ran a 100 amp cable to the rear building. That handles everything quite well.
Hope this helps.
