Open plan garden ... neighbour driving on it
Discussion
Ooh, some great options there! A drainage ditch sounds like a great idea, filled with some foul concoction
I do have a large boulder at the bottom end of the garden, where they blatantly drive over it; found it dumped in a public landscaped area with gouge marks on it (presumably, they hit it with their car and decided to move it). So, boulders are the obvious solution, but the garden is more than two car lengths long, so quite a few boulders needed, and then the extra maintenance of cutting the grass (hate gardening, but like a nice garden ) So, a flower bed is out, as they need bloody weeding.
The buried nails is sheer genius, especially if they were painted green, but I fear that option might just breach the covenant. Could be wrong though.
Saturating the area with water would take me ages every day to do. It's a long garden!
The rope fence is defo an option, I quite like that. I have a couple of berberis's (sp?) around the corner, they are nasty things, but again, that means a border to maintain. But, guess I'll have to bite the bullet
I've got a photo of how close they park, I'll post it up shortly.

I would think that as a mad keen gardner you should be watering your garden to stop the grass going brown, but to save water you could put it on one of those electronic timer things set to "on" permanently.....triggered by a movement sensor ;-) as they drive onto the drive the sprinkler goes off.
Realistically you're going to need to put up a low hege that stops them opening the door, load of small Box bushes, nice and easy to trim, fairly slow growing, not obnoxious but will do the trick.
