Report
We did NOT hire this company but they where hired by the owner of the land to the left of me. They rudely came onto my property and dug 2 separate holes. I noticed it on my security cameras and I ran outside to ask him why are you digging on my property? into my brand new sod where I have sprinkler lines. They told me they were looking for land markers. I was very upset and said this is my property there's a proper way to do that! next time you should knock on my door I could've given you a copy of my land survey.
I got nothing but a blank stair. I then called their office to put in a complaint I speak to the office manager Patsy and In opinion she just defended there unprofessional actions. I wish I could post a video because I have camera footage of them digging 3 feet in on the left side of my property where I just laid new sod and had a fairly new sprinkler system put in. UNPROFESSIONAL!
