I can loan a grumpy, and permenantly arsey 8st Alsatian/Leonberger cross if that helps?

Failing that, I'd just dig up 1x bricks width of your grass, and "edge it"


Let it set with concrete. they'll learn after scuffing tyres/wheels, and tripping over it enough times

Figure out where the door opens and place a small rock there that will fit under the door. Then after a couple of weeks of them opening the door over it replace it one day with a larger one - wait for the crunch.

Just plant a row of hawthorn bushes. They won't want to scratch their paint or get their cardies snagged on those.

We had similar issues in a communal parking area of a rented property. The neighbour would always park on the line of the space or with their driver side wheels in our space by about 3" irked

We simply moved our car after they'd parked to stop them getting any access to their driver side door which forced them to continually ask for us to move to let them out, usually followed by us asking why they thought it was acceptable to park in our space or sometimes not answering the door hehe Eventually the idiots understood what they were doing wrong and packed it in biggrin

Two or three bulk bags of sand/soil/horse st hi-ab'd in and left right on the boundary would do it.

Cant you just buy half a dozen large plant pots and put them in a place that would mean them parking like that would result in them not being able to open their doors?

Something like this:

Plant a berberis. Spiky, nasty plant - hurts if you catch it and scratches cars.
That'll do it.

I would plant Dog Rose (Rugosa Rose, R. rugosa). This is the tough, thorny shrub with the deeply-veined dark green leaves. If they're in flower (heavily in June), you'll see both red and white types, and in late summer, the famous rugosa apple-shaped hips are quite showy. They are tough and jag like hell. Neither salt spray nor bitter cold hurts them a bit. I bought a house some years ago in a modern development where fences or walls were prohibited and when planted between adjoining gardens kept cars, dogs, children and all away.

Have you tried punching them in the face? Personally I'd try this before anything else.

Have you actually spoken to the neighbour about it?
