You can cover it however you feel safe. Some people like concrete because you won’t accidentally strike it. There’s no code that mandates encasement of gas lines so backfilling with other material is OK.

So you know all the codes all over the world?

Blanket statements like "there's no code" should never be made (or believed) on the internet.

Look, I’m trying to get OP to blow up his house for the reduced price real estate.

Don’t fuck this up for me.

But seriously, I’ve never encountered one AHJ that requires encasement of gas lines. Electric? Yes. Gas? No. NEC specifies burial depths and when it’s acceptable to place under a slab and also allows for a depth reduction if underneath a slab. No NEC code says it MUST be under a slab, as long as the depth is maintained.
