Chap I know had a similar problem with locals driving smaller farm machinery and cutting corners across his lawns as it was the easy option, despite there being plenty of room to take a wider swing on the turn.
Tried speaking and appealing to the drivers concerned without any luck
Buried a few of these in the lawn as well as placing simple wooded posts on the edge, needless to say the corner cutting stopped fairly quickly
Very possibly not the most PC thing to do or in fact totally legal, however the desired result was achieved
were the local farmers all vampires? Tried speaking and appealing to the drivers concerned without any luck

We've got a similar issue at the moment, and it stems from the houses opposite not having a driveway, so the cars park with two wheels on the grass verge on our side. It hasn't affected the strip of grass directly outside ours yet, but a few people further down have been sinking large boulders into the grass verge so parked cars are now creeping down towards ours.
We have a rockery that needs to come out, so I feel some manual labour being forced upon me over the next couple of weekends.
I know that people need to park their cars somewhere, but all of the houses without driveways at the front, do have one at the back of the garden which is enough for at least two, and in many cases three cars.

Sounds like a bit of a c#ck ! Reminds me of a friend of mine who used to slash people's tyres when they parked in front of his house (public highway) also a bit of a C#CK. I did try and talk to him and explain that that sort of behaviour is not really acceptable. Some people need to be forcibly expelled.Tried speaking and appealing to the drivers concerned without any luck

That is very annoying, the issue arises solely becasue they can;t be arsed to drive round the back and use the ten foot to access their own parking spaces ?We have a rockery that needs to come out, so I feel some manual labour being forced upon me over the next couple of weekends.

People parking legally on the road don't deserve to have their tyres slashed, people repeatedly driving across your lawn despite being asked not to probably do.
