Pulte Homes of New England, LLC kills the landscaping

The usual.......Arrived home Monday afternoon to find the driveway partially blocked by a pickup with the name of an irrigation company on the door. A healthy looking worker was in my yard, poking the ground next to the driveway with a shovel. As I spoke to a couple of neighbors, he got on his Nextel, spoke to someone for several minutes, then dropped his shovel and left. Don't know much about the conversation, but it seemed that whoever was on the other end was trying to tell the guy in my yard where to find the already installed sprinkler system. If this is the case, it's interesting that he couldn't find an already installed system. Aren't there plans for this kind of thing?

The worker returned several minutes later, dropped about 100' of some kind of tubing in the neighbor's yard, dug three holes and left for the day. Now we have several tripping hazards with no idea when the job will be completed. This is not unlike Pulte....one of the neighbors had a spool of wire and a big hole from this project in his yard for over 3 weeks. About a week ago, someone replaced the spool and hole with a pile of rocks. It's been 2 weeks and the rock pile is still there. Again, a tripping hazard.

Last time anyone asked Pulte about the schedule, the construction site manager said Pulte really doesn't know who is working in the community, as subs hire subs who may hire subs, etc., etc. Since they don't know who is doing the work, they apparently can't get the schedule; at any rate, it seems Pulte has zero control over some aspects of construction in their own buildings.

Interestingly, though that one of the first two buildings built has sprinklers. Now that the summer heat is on, only one building is being watered - the one with Pulte's models. go figure. The lawn in the other buildings is getting brown & dry. Guess it pays to own the community.

It's really disappointing that Pulte Homes of New England, LLC seems to care so little about the residents yet is so forward with taking care of its own interests. Hazards in the neighborhood don't seem to matter, either.

Another day, another exciting event........................

    You people need to get a life. It's a construction site no kidding, there are things lying around outside and there are holes. What the hell do you expect it's not a fucking operating room. Do us all a favor and go back to NJ where the pencil pushers like you belong.
