(another reason to leave the ground rod sticking out of the ground a few inches)
I had an inspector require me to drive the rod flush. His concern was that it was a hazard. A child playing, or anyone for that matter, who fell face down on it could be severely injured. Other problems are that it is a trip hazard, and it could create issues with lawn moer blades. I always pound mine below grade. If I need to access the rod, I just dig around it a bit.
