So...
do you have 12vac or 24vac? That would make a difference as to a solution.

If you have 12vac, you should only need a rectifier

He needs a constant-current LED driver. This driver meets the electrical requirements:

I have used that series of drivers and they are really good. It is potted, but not direct burial rated and since it's essentially an OEM part it doesn't have a meaningful warranty. I would direct bury it after coating in Scotchkote and wrapping with rubber tape though.
