FWIW, I've seen PE gas pipes before as service lines to people's houses. Buried obviously. Also, I guess technically I haven't "seen" them, just seen that they were labeled as Polyethylene on Locate reports.

Although you don't need to worry about gas freezing (if its that cold that natural gas freezes you're hosed and won't be planting poo poo) its still typically buried deep enough that you aren't likely to hit the line unless you're planting something right next to the meter. I haven't seen tons of exposed gas lines, but the ones that I have seen are usually 3-4 feet down. I was once on a drilling job outside an old GM plant in Windsor Ont. We needed to drill really close (less than a meter) from a gas line so it had to be exposed before hand ("Daylighted") with a Vac truck. The vac truck sucked the poo poo out and we saw a rather large gas line, probably about 10 inches in diameter, that fed the plant. The gas was shut off at the plant, but this was before the meter so the line itself was still "live" (full of high pressure gas). Sitting ominously above that line looking like it wanted to fall at any time was a big rear end boulder, probably 2 feet in diameter. We had to lower our tooling in to the hole and hammer the poo poo in with a jackhammer type machine to take our samples. As I was hammering, I kept seeing bits of soil falling off the side of the hole and I kept expecting that at any moment that boulder was going to fall and hit the line. It probably would have been fine, but none the less it was a bit unnerving.
