Instead of an approx 16 ft radius disc ,you might consider an area
covered with chicken wire mesh with the antenna in its centre.If that's
laid on a lawn the grass will quickly grow over it . In a few weeks time
the wire mesh will no longer be visible and the lawnmower can just run
over .

I'd hate to think of the cost of that solid sheet of copper hihi.
