leave it up to r/boston to mald in the comments about a guy that doesn't want a company telling him they're digging up his yard without permission to install something he didn't ask for, lol.

The only legit replies I've seen are the ones pointing out the possibility of a utility easement. I need to find out if this is the case or not on Monday. Everyone else is clearly out of their mind if they think it is OK to just let any company onto private property to do whatever they want without permission. It's clear they're not homeowners and have no idea wtf they're talking about.

Or they are homeowners and realize how often this happens, in a highly populated and dense city? If you are really concerned, just contact an attorney or your local city councilor.

So you're ok with companies just doing work on private property without permission?

If they have an easement or similar legal instrument then it’s not without permission. That said, I do love once upon a time in the west

I agree, which is what I'm going to double check on Monday. But as I've already stated in this thread when I bought the property I did an audit and there were no easements attached and I have not agreed to any since. But I'm going to ask specifically for utility easements. At the moment to the best of my knowledge there are none.

I hear you, and I read that. I won’t re-hash what’s already been said, but on the off chance you don’t, and they still give you trouble, perhaps consider an attorney.

Redditors? Homeowners? I love a good fantasy tale every now and then too but cmon that's just unrealistic.

Because they're not digging up his yard, it's not like the old days where they had to put in a huge trench and rip up his lawn. It's a microtrench, it's essentially an imperceptible saw blade slice.
