Of course, they hit the house with the excavator. Lucky the siding was new and easy to match.

Of course, they refilled the hole by putting the topsoil in the bottom, and finished with sand. I still have issues getting the grass to grow on that side of the house, even after getting rid of some of the sand and bringing in more topsoil.
Could be glycol contamination that is causing the grass not to grow? One of the biggest concerns with ground source is groundwater contamination.
