Mike,
Yes, it's serious, many times a ground radial system
will be 'better' than a ground rod(s). Given the rocky
ground as in the original post, a radial system would be
much preferable to ground rods.
Given that you get the wires deep enough to be missed
by the lawn mower, what's so dangerous about it?

If it is under the surface, then no problem. But I'm referring to the
laying the wires on the ground comment I've heard of a few times here.
And that would be dangerous for people crossing the lawn, and myself,
after the XYL is done with me! 8^)
