Report
The crew was surveying a neighboring lot. I asked the surveyor not to dig in my yard due to sprinkler heads and lines. He dug a foot deep. I indicated where the lot line was based on a city survey that was done 2-3 years ago for the new streets. He ignored that and dug another hole in the middle of my yard when his detector found a metal clamp on my sprinkler line. I then told him to remove himself from my property. Called the Rehder office to inform them, and they were not interested in making sure the crew stayed away. A company I would never even consider hiring!
