Mowing strip over cable duct? - Bad idea?

Other groundworks tasks, such as roads and footpaths, terracing, fencing, foundations, walls and brickwork, tools and plant.

as part of the layout of the garden project, I'm needing to run electrical ducting underground parallel to the intended location of a mowing strip on the edge of a lawn.

To save digging, I'm considering the pros and cons of putting the duct beneath the mowing strip.

I'm trying to think of a reason why this would be a bad idea, the only one I come up with is if I'm overzealous with the foundation for the mowing strip, and future garden-wreckers get too carried away hacking concrete and miss the warning tape layer that'd be not far beneath it.

Can anyone think of a better reason not to do this, or is it actually quite a good idea?

sounds like a great idea to me
bang in the centre of the mowing strip would be ideal
