Hi everyone,
We have now basically finished the interior of our house and started working on the exterior landscaping over the weekend. We need to maintain a 1.5-meter (5 feet) setback from the property line along the public road. This is also where the temporary construction access road runs at the moment. We have noticed that this access road, or at least its gravel base, extends onto our property as well. I began digging about one meter (3 feet) inside our property line, right where we plan to plant our hedge, and found at least 60–70 cm (24–28 inches) of gravel.
My question is whether the city is responsible for this since they established the construction access road. Before I contact them, I would like to get some advice and one or two arguments here in the forum. I assume we would have to replace a strip of soil about 50 cm (20 inches) wide and 70 cm (28 inches) deep, which won’t be easy considering the compacted gravel. How would you approach this? Grab a shovel and deal with it ourselves, or ask the city to remove the gravel?

What a variety of professions there are nowadays! Some become influencers, others communicators....Telecom employee?@hampshire We have an appointment with the city the day after tomorrow regarding, among other things, the fact that the road partly runs across our property (in some sections about 1 meter (3 feet) wide over a length of 10–15 meters (33–50 feet)). With the new construction, we would like to establish a clear boundary (curb edge) between the road and our property.
This will require cutting back part of the asphalt and installing an edge restraint. The old house (from the previous owner) had no curb edge and the asphalt extended right up to the front door.
Thank you for your very clear and practical approach.
