There are two lines running side by side buried in the ground. One is a supply line with an inline pump mounted to it bringing the hot water from the boiler to the house, the other is the return line bringing the water back to the boiler to be reheated. At the house, the heat is attained one of two ways. Either the water circulates through a heat exchanger which is installed in the forced air system your home already has, and when the blower for the forced air kicks on it blows the hot air from the exchanger through the duct work and into the house. (the exchanger is similar to a radiator) The other way is achieved when you are building a new structure. You can lay out a series of lines embedded in the concrete floor that the hot water will circulate through. The concrete has to have insulation put down before it was poured to keep the heat from the concrete from going down into the ground. The heat in the concrete will rise into the building, and that will heat the home. Not professional information by any means, but hopefully enough that you get the basic understanding of how an outdoor boiler works. Most homes that an outdoor boiler to house that is already built go with the forced air system as the home already has duct work from the previous heating system installed. New construction homes most often opt for the radiant heat in the floor. If it is a multilevel new home, water lines are run between the ceiling of the lower level and the floor of the upper level. That way the heat in between the levels will radiate to the upper level of the home.
