RPRs are available now. If you were to sell the house, you'd need one. They cost around $350. A guy comes out with a bunch of equipment and maps your house onto paper.

Seriously lame. I bet that the builder doesn't even realize that his trade did that. If you talked to him, he'd probably apologize profusely and make it right somehow. It is bad business to piss people off that way. I just took over supervising for my uncle's building company and he'd have me swimming with the fishes if I let something like that go.

Property line is way too important for the builder to screw up. He'd never pass inspection. Chances are that your garden was indeed in the wrong place. But still, no businessman in his right mind wants to create bad blood in a community. Give him a call. Keep your cool. Money is hard to pry from people, but when it solves a dispute like this, it often flows a little easier.
Good luck.
