I just had a "re pull" which involved Virgin digging up the garden and making a bot of a mess. I can forgive them for the poor turf partly, but the cable is literally only an inch under all the way down the garden. (I checked at different points). It's just under the top soil inside a green conduit. Behind the shed where it comes into the garden it's actually partly exposed.

Should I complain? Should it be a foot or so under? I want to complain as I'm worried it will get damaged easily in the future, but then will they come round and REALLY dig the garden up to properly lay it making the lawn awful? Maybe this is why I had probs before if it was laid near to the surface and it got damaged I don't know.
