how difficult is it to repair a verge?

If it was just left alone, I bet but july you wouldn't even know it had happened.

And I agree, its down to the driver and their insurance should anyone feel the need to get a mud bank with a bit of grass, "repaired".

 

@shiney and @wiseowl - true the earth hasn't been shifted anywhere so using the compacted soil I guess should be enough. Now am so tempted to do it myself as suggested, just out of principle in order to give the £400 quote a kick in the teeth.!!

@longk - you make some great thoughtful comments. The liability issue never occurred to me but makes a lot of sense. the grounds management company (of which I'm a member of) has insurance simply to protect it from being sued. If I were to do it myself (being a non-professional person) I'm not sure if that would void the insurance. Having said that it's quite a steep incline on the corner - I doubt anyone would want to walk up/down it especially given that more sensible options are just metres away.

Thanks - great responses!

@longk - great thoughtful comments. The liability side of things never occurred to me. But is there a realistic possibility that things might one day get messy if it was sorted by myself or a casual freelance gardener? I doubt it. And yes sometimes the high costs we mock can have good grounds for being as big as they are.

Anyway, food for thought.

Will try and source a few more quotes before making up my mind on how to proceed. Thanks again for giving me some pointers on how to do fix myself I choose.

@pete - actually it's already looking quite different to the original photos taken the day after the event. You are probably right doing nothing is actually not a bad option. Other residents won't be happy with me however so better resolve to their expectations

 

I think if it were me, I'd do exactly nothing. Or, I'd fix it myself and not tell anyone. It's an hour's work max.

 

Highly unlikely but in our litigious society such remote possibilities have to be a part of the decision making process.

Look at the picture carefully and you'll see what looks like a tennis court to me. I suspect that this is the type of development where you can get away with that.
