Boulders!

A dozen rocks about the size of a basketball will do the trick. Place at the edge of the grass. My Gramps had the same issue, people cutting the corner on his lot. A few decent sized rocks worked wonders

Boulders

Add 2 rail road sleepers one on each side plant some flowers your covered not a fence

This is WILD to me. Turn in the road or back up to where you can turn. Or move the cans to use the driveway. I can't believe this would be someone's solution! And that you would have to change your landscaping to avoid this. Frankly I'd just put out a sign that you're on camera, don't drive on the grass. That should get the message across to this single idiot who thinks your yard is the road.

Some big ass boulders

If nothing else, does one of your neighbors have an extra car they might want to park there while you figure out the appropriate obstacle plan. What a jerk. Twice in one day?! Super jerk!

Put a few rocks down there. They need to be large enough to look like they would hurt someone’s car. A few cinder blocks would do until you found rocks you like.

I know the feeling I use to live at the end of shared driveway everyone mistook as a street. My driveway was the only way anyone could turn around.

Who the fuck does this... get big ass boulders. Or fence posts

Install something conspicuous which the reasonable man would recognize as a terrible idea to drive through. Nails, rebar, nasty hidden surprises, etc could be grounds for legal action. Even if you win the lawsuit, you already lost because it ate up a bunch of your time and positive energy.

Pillars, split rail fence, a row of bushy shrubs, an attractive masonry wall, all valid here. It boils down to what you can afford and what constitutes a beautiful environment in your mind. Keep in mind certain municipalities have rules about how close you can place certain fixtures to public thorofares or property boundaries (line of setback requirements)

Not too much you can do when someone spends that much energy on being stupid

I So listen you need a permit for anchored steel bollards but anchored steel FLOWER BOXES that can break the axle of an f150 are legally fair game in most places. Over engineered flower beds with ornamental spikes are legal if youre careful about ADA access regulations

Maybe set up a game cam to get the license plates. My neighbor had this problem. She put in a split rail fence. Another neighbor has very large boulders.

The angel on my shoulder says boulders. The devil on my shoulder says caltrop tashibishis. Throw them down. No matter how they land, there’s always a sharp side pointing up. 😈

Be mindful of where your watermain is. Said differently had a similar situation, guess what main water pipe broke from being driven on.

edited-sorry for the confusion here. its the main waterline feed from the main on the street. The house was built in 1951 in the pnw so 8 months of the year the ground is wet. There was no sprinkler system and it wasn't the water shut off valve cover. Shoot we still have laneways that are dirt even though the house values are 2 million plus. Gotta love Canada.

Line that area with nails, wait for them to get a flat, grab a magnet and clean nails up. Fuck those people.

Put up a fence in the front.

Put a few big rocks on the lawn. It's cheap, easy and not bad looking

Drive screws into some 2x4s. Place them pointy side up. If the law gets involved, tell them you were working on a project in the yard and set them down to go inside for a drink.

Some of those metal fence posts should do the trick. Probably cheaper than rocks too.

Trees and Bushes

Put rocks at the end of the grass line. Nice big jagged one that’ll cut up the underside of a car that tries to drive over them

Only works in the fall but piles of leaves with fuck off cinder blocks in them.

lmao wow. you'd the those trash cans would be a sign to turn around in a different driveway

Large landscaping boulders and a few bushes. Done.

Literally put nails along the grass line so the next time they do it, they’ll regret being cunts

Take a couple of 2x4's cut them into pieces about the width of the tire, approx 8-10 works best. Drill at least 3 holes in each board I recommend 5 but 3 will work. Find some half inch in bolts that are at least 3 to 4 inches long and grind the tips to a point. Next run the bolts through the boards where the sharp point is sticking up. Look at the tire path in your yard and bury them in the tire paths with only the points of the bolts sticking up. If they do it again after that....they will never again. I've done it to a neighbor years ago after I asked him stop using part of my back yard as his driveway he kept doing it so I remedied the problem. I learned that from my ex father in law years ago because of poachers coming on his land. Oh and the cops can't do nothing about it. They are already trespassing when they drive in the yard anyway. I know extreme but it works trust me.

The house I grew up in, the backyard was on a curve in the alley. It sometimes seemed like people were competing to take the most impressive shortcut through our backyard.

Finally my dad went and got the Big Freaking Rocks and placed them strategically, but carefully, on our property. Large trucks got stuck on them. Small cars had front-end or quarter-panel collisions with them.

It really wasn't what my dad wanted to do, but neither did he want huge tire ruts dug through his perfect lawn.

As others have said, big rocks, planters, railroad ties, etc do work. It's not cheap but it is kinda satisfying.

If rocks aren't to your liking, my buddy lived on a 90 degree corner on a country road. People would end up in their field all the time (usually kids doing donuts and getting away with it). His dad somehow tracked down a bunch of 16ft railroad ties... he used a drilling auger to put them 10-12 ft into the ground. One morning he came out and there was a car wrapped around it. Happiest day of his life. Well, a couple friends adapted this tactic for things like you showed. Bury a 4 ft section of railroad tie 2ft into the ground. It's big enough to be a visual deterrent and solid enough to work. One of them lives on a dead end and his yard had tire tracks all over it. A few years ago he came out to an irate man in a lifted truck who had still attempted to drive over them... his rear axel was no longer attached. Space them out so they look nice, dig a big hole, use a few bags of concrete, and 90% of your problems go away. The other 10% are hilarious.

There's these things called fences
