Get a step lawn edger (blade with a handle, you step on it and
cut a slot in the grass ; handle lets you stand up while doing this)

Spread the slot with your fingers and run the coax in, press shut
and stamp down.

Works best when the grass is wet.

It disturbs the lawn very little. You can hardly see it.

To find coax years later, tune a portable AM radio to a moderate-weak
station, lay on ground and turn the radio for a null on the station.

Drag the radio across the place the coax is likely to be. When
you're over it, the station pops up out of the null.

I've found connectors on 200' runs to within a couple inches with this
method, years later.

I just use a shovel sideways to make a slot in the sod.
