I'm on rock. I was required to have 2, 8' rods at the temporary/determinant pole with in so many feet of each other. Two more at the house where the power enters, and yet two more at the point where the power enters the garage! The 2 at the power pole were easy to do. The company that drilled the holes in the blue rock for the pole also drilled the ground rod holes. Never would have gotten them in other wise. Rods at the house and garage were another story. Start pounding and hope you find a crack in the rock or pay to have more holes drilled. Also be sure you install the required diameter ground rod.

BTW... If you are building on slabs you can tie into the re-bar for your grounding be sure to have that part inspected before you pure though or hope they accept photos!
