Watch out with shovels. I've cut my wire once, trying to plant a tree. My neighbours (who are my oarents) were not happy. Insurance companies recommend to dig 30 cm to a meter deep.
It might be overkill, but you could check with your local zoning office if there's any pipes or cables already running through your garden, so you don't accidentally snip any. Because that can become expensive real quick.
The ground deep under your garden/house is often not your property, but that of the state or a gas company or something. So there could be any number of pipes running down there. Maybe even old mineshafts.
