This morning my wife called me at work because there was someone in our front yard digging a hole…read more She asked if I had hired someone to do work at the house. I had not. She went outside to ask why he was damaging our lawn, and he explained that he was performing a survey for a house four doors away from ours. I asked my wife to put me on the phone with him, and I told him he did not have permission to dig in our yard and asked him to leave the property. I then called the owner of the company, who argued that her surveyor has the legal right to enter private property and dig if necessary to complete a survey. That is not completely true. It is only true if there is no other way to complete the survey. My biggest issue is that no one knocked on the door beforehand to explain what they were doing or why it was necessary. They just helped themselves to my front yard. Even after my wife asked him what he was doing, he gave vague and dismissive answers and went back to digging. After we kicked the surveyor off our property, he was able to continue the survey without the use of our yard. This proves that our property was not necessary for the completion of the survey. There is a big difference between "necessary" and "convenient." Property rights are important and homeowners deserve communication and professionalism.
