Cutting channel in drive & running cable - any tips?

In preparation for an EV charger install I’m going to run the feed from consumer unit to charger (electrician will connect) and want to run it under my concrete driveway (1970 build). CU is in the garage.
This will look better than the long way around along walls, and future proofs for when the driveway gets redone in resin or whatever.

Any tips on making it look nice? What depth should I run the cable? (It’ll be armoured)
Where it comes up out the ground by the house wall is it worth putting it in some sort of box or just have it piling out the floor/concrete?

Any photos of how it should be done, or work you’ve done, greatly appreciate 😊 cheers.
