Four foot over from the road is a "right of way" yes they can do work without notification. NOW unless there is a utility easement running through your yard when your home was built they cannot create one anywhere in your yard beyond that 4 ft. This same company tried to pull this on me a few months ago trying to put lines through my front yard to get to my neighbors home I stopped them right away and explained these facts to them then they rerouted and stayed in their "right of way" to my neighbors home and through her front yard so she could have her fiber cable installed. They will tell you they can and actually said they could call the police they found out legally they cannot create a easement on someone's property unless its agreed on and or compensated for the property. Its been a year now and the spray painted streets are still there with their marks and looks terrible, don't bother with community standards I called them about this and all they said is nothing we can do and it would eventually fade. Luckily the pressure washer takes it up but not everyone has one.
