Another solution: run ethernet cables outdoors on the ground.

You can do ethernet cables outdoors from your router in your house to your router in your office. Either thin cables that go under doors, or outdoor rated ones, both can work fine.

This same approach can work inside a house as an alternative to mesh networking or running cables through walls. The cables don't have to be invisible (underground or in walls) when you have tough constraints, unless you want them to be.

The direct line across would get run over by cars. Indirect routes would still have to cross pavement and look ugly.

And then there are still those six feet of stone that needs drilling through to get the cable outside and back in.

How about using fiber optic cables for this? I saw a few videos on YouTube showing the installation for home internet

		To what end? The runs aren't going to be long enough for fiber to provide a benefit, and the transceivers are more expensive for consumer use like this.
