you are lucky they allow it at all  and that is not hard to bury the wire, atone who is handy could bury that wire very easily  you just need to run and edger out usb the wire down and it will fix itself , or what a lot of people do is just  use a shovel to cut a little line push the wire down and walk back over the grass   an artificial ground is not going to do much honestly if you have a real ground unless it is too long of a wire run. but someone probably already mentioned that
