Re: Grounding rod directly below Hose bib
Not as long as they don't whack the hose bibb off with the sledge hammer driving the ground rod in.

Actually, with the hose bibb being above it, that area may stay wetter than it otherwise would, thereby making it more useful because the resistance between the rod and earth would be less.

Heck, leave the hose bibb on 'drip'.
