And how about using copper strap (lower inductance) rather than cable?  Just a thought.  Sure is nice to do this before the landscaping and concrete go in.

A ring ground is a good way to do things, especially if you're thinking 
you're going to be putting lightning into it.

A buried round wire will be a lot stronger and robust than a piece of 
copper ribbon.  The inductance isn't all that much different.
