The concept of easements has been use many times to falsely justify trespassing. You own your property and pay taxes on it and maintain it. Only the appropriate utility, safety and law enforcement have the necessary authority to access your property when necessary. Your lawn and garden is like a living carpet that you bought and paid for. No-one has the right to trespass on it.
