Default running electrical lines above-ground?

Hi all:

I am going to be trying to add an electrical circuit to a gazebo that
is being placed in a backyard that is already completed/grown out. I
don't think it would be possible to dig a trench without compeltely
destroying portions of our plantings, not to mention the cost of
trenching. Is there a type of conduit that can be placed above ground
(its about a 50' run) and safely house electrical from the elements?
I'm thinking of just running the conduit along the property line fence
since there are a lot of shrubberies in front of it and the conduit
would not be visible. Would fixed metal conduit suffice or does that
have to be buried? I know I've seen above-ground conduit before, but
only in short lengths.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
