Re: Why is There Flags All Over My Yard
[ QUOTE ]
Where do you live? In some states, you're allowed to do a civil land survey without prior consent from the landowner. It's not a smart thing to do, as I found out doing that in Kentucky with guns being pulled on us, but technically they are allowed to do it. [/ QUOTE ] North Carolina. Why would they do this? Would they mark the utilities?

Re: Why is There Flags All Over My Yard
whatever area you are talking about is probably not your "yard". you may be next to a utility easement. and your swale, if you have one, is not yours. it is most likely road ROW from back of sidewalk to back of sidewalk. orange it telephone, blue is water, red is power. the arrows or dashes in the street show where the facility is going. as do the flags. it's only locates and there isn't anything you can do about it. if they fail to replace the sod properly you can always bitch about that...

Land agents can be quite shady. It wouldn't be the first time where a land agent claims they contacted you or sent you a letter or whatever. I'm not familiar with NC laws so I can't say what they have to do as far as means for contacting you.

stabn, Yeah I guess so. They're just boundary markers? F boundaries. [/ QUOTE ] Yup. Obviously i've never actually used them either; but my set as a kid had them. They were only used as makeshift soccer goals.
