I have a front lawn and a car parks opposite it meaning that some drivers get their car wheels going over my grass. The lady should park in the car park where all the other residents park. I wonder if I should protect my front garden with a hedge, fence or rocks.

What would you do if people drove over your lawn and ruined the grass?

Just put a "No PARKING area" sign. If that doestn't work, go over and tell them off. I would be very angry if people drove over my lawn. I will definitely tell them so.

I think you can put some iron web on them so that there is no harmful for them when the car wheel on them!

Hi maxima,

I rather put some rocks or hedge so that no one would destroy my garden!

Firstly, I would talk to her about the situation, and show her what destruction she's doing to your lawn. If that didn't work, then I'd use something like a honycombe rock border that can't be sriven over without doing damage to her car.

That is such a problem... some people are so insensitive about the property of others... and i would certainly be mad if that happens to me... so i suggest you protect your garden by putting a fence... that way they would dare drive over it... and if they do... then they should pay for the damage that they created...

I've soon this problem in my area also. The best solution I've seen is the placement of large rocks/boulders along the involved area. A bit of a project, but once done is almost a sure cure. Happy gardening! Bill in NC, USA

i'd buy a fence if i was good

This would be a great idea if a fence is allowed at that point of the property. However, as another contributor has said, do some type of landscaping (so it looks good)that will deter them from driving over your lawn. Some people have no civic pride and no respect for their neighbor/s. I have a neighbor who allows his dog to use my lawn as its bathroom. So I put some decorative fencing between us and even put in some plants and this works.

some people only think of themselves, i don't blame you for feeling so angry, i would be angry too.

Hi maxima!
How about talking to that lady first and telling her how important your lawn is for you? I have discovered that many people don´t mean harm; they just don´t think. When That happens to me and I don´t know the person, I put a note on the windshield. Big letters so that they also are ashamedwink
