My suggestion is underground high voltage to a transformer near house (less than 50 ft) and underground to house then you don't have any problem with trees an limbs.
Conduit isn't necessary direct burial is fine and cheaper.
If you have a fault in the cable electric co will dig it up to repair and back fill as oppose to pulling cable out and putting a new one in the conduit way cheaper the second time.
If you go conduit route I would put 2 power ones in one spare and another for phone and a spare future that way if you have a problem you can pull new one in the spare then remove the old cable after you are up and running.
plus go one size bigger than you need pulling will be easier.
and how are you getting internet? add that to conduit run too.
