Hi, presuming you know this to be covered under bldg regs part p and you are just making provision for a leckie to do the work or you have notified L.A.Bldg Control, then:
use 32mm plastic water pipe under path at 18" /450mm deep.
The cable to use will be steel wire armoured, probably 4mm2- 3 core to connect to a so called 'garage unit' which is a small consumer unit with RCD, 6A & 16A mcb's fitted which can be connected at the house end to a variety of places depending upon layout of house electrics.
the cable should be buried at a similar depth to tube, back filled to 6" / 300mm from surface, then yellow 'Danger electric cable below' marker tape laid and finally topped up to level.
