You didn't provide sufficient information, however:
Most areas have easements for rights of way and roads that nibble at one or more sides of 'property'; because what good is land if there's no way of getting things to/from it.
It is unwise for a property owner to put anything they want to retain within such an area. It's quite likely that the family wasn't thinking about the parts of their property that weren't within such easements or the paths utilities were talking out of sight. Out of sight, out of mind.
- dbg31415 10y agoI don't have pictures on me, but the pavers that were damaged were on the side of the driveway near the house, like when you get out of your car you'd see them. (Pavers are like little 2-inch thick pieces of cement, easy to pry up, that part takes like 10 seconds if you have a shovel... the installers just smashed through them -- and look, the kind of person who would just see a kids handprints and decide, "Cool, I'll smash that..." that's not the kind of person I want on my property.) Situation would have been easily avoidable if they had let us know where they were planning to dig -- and they easily could have, they spray painted everything else around the yard / street. If they let us know, we could have moved the pavers and things ourselves. (And again, the only communication we had told us, "Don't worry, they will put everything back like it was before when they are done... they are professionals... it's Google...") Their routes from the boxes to the homes weren't always the most logical. And it's not reasonable to expect a homeowner to take everything out of their yard before a dig.
