1. 8 feet buried is a NEC requirement, which County claims to have "incorporated by reference" into the local Codes.
2. There's a guy with a bore rig that will drill a 6" hole 8+ feet deep. Backfill with dirt, install grounding rod, no problem.
3. The alternative is some amount (10-12 feet -- don't have my copy of NEC handy) of bare #8 copper wire embedded in concrete, just lay it down in the form before pouring the garage slab or foundation corner. Take pictures.
