I'm an Electrical Engineer so just that you know I'm not guessing here, but my advice is what I tell anyone else who has come to me with these types of questions.

Have someone who is licensed and insured do the work. If something goes wrong, improper wire size for the current load, wrong breaker, wrong direct burial cable, etc.....and something such as a fire breaks out....your homeowners insurance will hang you out to dry as they will investigate every possible scenario.

They can be as picky as distinguishing between a "grounding" conductor and a "grounded" conductor.

It's a simple thing you are wanting to do and the general gist of it is laid out by other posters here, but doing it yourself is a liability once you open the circuit panel.

Maybe not what you want to hear, but someone licensed so you are covered can easily do this so it won't be that expensive.
