Anyone ever have an issue with the utility company digging up their yard? The gas company, through a contractor, dug up the front edge of all the yards along my street to replace a gas line, and part of my yard along the house to move my gas meter. They came back a day later to add topsoil, grass seed, and mulch to all of the yards...except mine.
A week or two later, they came back and added topsoil and seed to the part along the street, but no straw mulch. Over the pas two weeks, the birds ate half the seed, the other half got wet and then dried out and is now useless. They came back today and threw down some mulch over the dead seed and despite driving all the way out to my neighborhood, they decided not to fix the rest of the damage to my lawn.
In late September when the other yards were done right, there was enough time for the seed to germinate and actually survive the winter. If they ever get to my yard, it will be late November and useless in the Northeast to plant grass. I have called and called, but they are not the least bit concerned or compassionate. Is it time to lawyer up, or do I start screaming about discrimination on ethnic or religious grounds to scare them into action?
