Normally on a road surface, first they make a temporary job then wait for it
to settle then come back and do it with whatever was there before.
It can go wrong though as we have a series of pot holes near me which were
dug out when the company was EDF, and temp filled over a new connection to a
building. Here we are nearly a decade later, London Power Networks are the
current company and they deny all knowledge of the work of course so it
will no doubt all go bang one day cutting of the whole building at which
point somebody will need to fix it. The council merely push all complaints
to lpn.

Morrisons Utilities recently did some hydrant repairs on a tarmac footpath
opposite my home, involving lots of digging and probably replacement of
the hydrant, in front of someone's drive.

On completion, they filled the hole, tarmaced and took away the bulk of
the mess remaining, but left the path covered in mud and a drain piled
with soil. Don't they have a responsibility to clean up after themselves
any more?
