My neighbor did something like that. Although the rocks were a bit smaller. Well, They stole their rocks.
In our case it wasnt neighbors who took the fence out, it was drunks! In all three cases!
We need an update on the effectiveness. 😊
Is there video of people hitting the rocks?? Looks great!
I'm in Australia, and interested in your solution. Is the stone work actually on your property, or is it on local government land, or is it part of a secured community. In Australia we have either a footpath or open grassed drains. These are around 4 to 6 m wide. The placement of anything on these areas without local government permission is instantly removed and you get fined. The resident is responsible for the adjacent footpath, but technically we don't own the land. This includes where the driveway crosses the footpath to meet the asphalt. Anyway, nice work and the area looks just fine. I can see that you are a very proud yard owner. Cheers from Australia
Girl I knew in High School, lived on a corner lot. Her dad had a very nice rose bush planter about in the middle of his front yard. Kids on the weekend would purposely cut across trying to tear it up. He drove in four one inch rebar and tied his rose bushes to them. about two weeks later a lawyers kid cut the yard and tore holes in his daddy's 450 SEL oil pan. and destroyed the motor. His father the lawyer tried to sue for damage to the car. The judge after getting the whole story from Mr Robinson (rose bush owner) Made the owner of the Mercedes pay all court costs and about five hundred in damages to the lawn and planter. The judge said you can stake your bushes with what ever you think necessary to hold them up.
Sort of the same thing happened to us. A young driver lost control and ran over our rose and our Rose of Sharon and continued up the street, on the tree lawn mind you, until regaining the street 4 houses up but on the wrong side of the street. We now have boulders that should stop any further mishaps and we were able to save both the rose and the Rose of Sharon. Careless or drunk drivers...
👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
Did those kids visit Mrs. Robinson.
People have no right to treat someone's lawn or garden as an extension to the highway.
Wait, the a$$h0le pieces of $hit, trespassing, criminal damaging kid wrecks people's property, and his dad blamed it on someone else's!? Unbelievable!
I had a punk kid run over my corner lot three times. I asked nicely to stop. The third time? I put a VERY heavy duty rake in the grass, He went over it at about 30 mph, and it ripped out EVERYTHING from the engine, on back. The entire muffler/CAT fuel line. Totaled the car. His dad tried to sue, and then found out that it isn't illegal for me to leave a rake in my yard...
A certified Looney Toons moment.
Aren’t some people so clueless. They think we should keep marshmallows on the lawn so no one can get hurt. Of course, then a diabetic would try to sue. 🤣
Glad you taught him a lesson
Tell me about this rake. How in the world!!!!???....
LOL!! We really appreciate the view and comment, lots of great stories like yours, we're having a blast reading them all. Have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
It seems to be everywhere. I have friends who had to repeatedly replace their mailbox as some dimwitted teenagers, thinking that country addresses are in season, would run off the road and destroy everyone's mailboxes and posts. The people got together and my friend, a welder, had an idea. Everyone pitched in. 6 inch drilling pipe driven 6 feet into the ground and filled with concrete and rebar, with some rebar sticking out in a pattern and painted to reflect light at night. Mailboxes made out of old oxygen bottles and welded to the pipes. It didn't take long- rancher's kids (who knew better) were barreling along at about 40- they hit my friends mail box and that post and stopped cold. They did get injured because none were wearing seat belts. The sheriff notified their daddies, who showed up and instead of yelling at my friends, took one look at the truck, found out what their kids were doing and told them they were going to reimburse everyone for the cost of the new mailboxes and posts. (as well as getting their butts kicked when sent home). The owner of the truck looked at his son and said the kid would be working all summer, through school and wouldn't see a penny of "college money" until the truck was paid for. Sometimes, there are good parents who aren't out to sue anyone for their kid's crimes.
I miss that parenting model.
They had an episode about something similar on the original CSI show. The homeowner charged with manslaughter. Guess it is illegal to protect your property in Nevada. I like this story better.
Great story! Thank you for watching and sharing, I too miss this parenting model!! :) Have a fantastic weekend. Guru Mike & team
Good for the father.
We live in the countryside and here teenagers thought it would be fun to hit every mailbox off its post.
People looked at their video surveillance, and the culprits lived at the end of the street.
The sheriff took them to jail.
Exellent! I thought of that video where jerks were driving into the yard, wrecking the kid's snowman. Dad built it over a big tree stump, and next time, the jerk wrecked his car! 🤣
I remember that one lol
The quick stop could have wrecked the jerk as well.
@@geoh7777Not his problem
Traps are dangerously illegal. If the driver was killed he might have spent decades in prison.
Karma is a (you know what).
We did this …..make sure you pick nice, pointy, sharp edge rocks! Otherwise all the dog walkers will sit while their dog takes a dump on your grass
As a responsible dog owner, I pick up dog poo from entitled owners who can’t be bothered to pick it up. It’s infuriating.
LOL
Wow, you're a peach. Wish you were my neighbor.
Ours aren't pointy but they're substantial and the dogs mark their territory on them so we don't get many sitters. Good luck!
😂
Now I know why they built Stonehenge.( to keep the neighbors off the lawn)
Good one!!
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant!🤣
It didn't work this week though!
This reminds me of when I lived on a corner lot, in an area called Lookout Hill. When the city had the fireworks display every year, hundreds of people would come to the area to watch. They would put lawn chairs and blankets on my grass, leave trash (not to mention the noise), etc., and were rude as hell. After the first year, I would turn on all the sprinkler's the day of the fireworks, and run them from the afternoon on (making sure they sprayed over the sidewalk too). Stopped that problem.
Sounded like a perfect opportunity to make some money 💰!
I understand though.
😃👍

I love it! I live across from an elementary school and have no curbs. Cars double park, my lawn is receding and I have ugly traffic cones all over. They often drive over them! Big rocks it is! I promise to not drop them on a car.

There was a neighborhood that barely had curbs outside my kids elementary school school that was built in 1964 with almost no parking lot. I feel for you. I saw what happened to the lawns directly across the street.
Why not rebar, sticking out 3 feet, painted neon? Easy for you. Cost effective. Attach "whirlys" on top! 😂
I hope the darn kids don’t climb all over them and fall off and blame or sue you.. It’s a Woke world you know.. but good luck..
Reminds me of how I remedied a problem a client had at their business. They had a circular, raised garden wall that people insisted on sitting on, crushing their plants. I put in bougainvillea plants, which have very big stickers. 😉
You can plan poison oak if your willing to keep it cut back.
You mean thorns. Bougainvillea has very big thorns. 👍😃
@@kathleenr4047Y’know, I always wondered why some places plant spiky-leaf or thorny plants outside a business. It makes sense now. Because people are animals.
Fire thorn are worse and very pretty.
They will never forget.
I know because I had a window peeker and called the cops more than once but he was never caught,
Guess he found my fire thorn because he ran away in the middle of the night cussing up a storm lol
Love that! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day my friend. Guru Mike & team
Now we want follow up videos of vehicles backing into the stones.
LOL, we'll be sure to share! We've already had one mishap, there's a nice strip of black bumper rubber one one of them, we missed it :) Thanks for watching, hope you have a stupendous weekend my friend. Guru Mike & team
Why does it always cost the victims to keep out trespassers?
Because it is your legal responsibility as a property owner to fence off what you want private.
I know it's 🐂💩. The nicer you try to keep your place the more everybody want to screw it up for you.
Check out the law in your state to make sure
Unless there is a sign o don't think turning in someone's driveway doesn't rise to the level of trespassing.
@@Ron-Hellactually I do not have to fence anything off; private property means off limits especially if posted…at least where I live.
In Oregon there is a neighborhood that has insane winding roads. So much so that one house kept getting cars right through the house. Finally they had a HUGE boulder brought in to put right in front. The city didn't like it and tried to force him to remove it. He said no and threatened to sue the city. That was the end of that conversation.
Nice!! Thank you for watching and sharing your story, it's a good one!! Hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
I had the same problem with neighbors driving across my lawn. I’m at the end of a cul-de-sac and they were too lazy in the winter to try to figure out where the road was. Between a combination of metal stakes and smaller rocks. I solved that problem. Then a couple of young guys moved in across the street. my drive is directly opposite theirs and they have monster trucks. I started noticing tire treads all over my driveway from them using it to turn around. Being single, I move some of the rocks to close off my driveway. That problem is solved for now. Now, if I could just get the other neighbor to stop mowing my narrow patch of lawn on the other side of my driveway. The previous neighbor cut down trees I had growing that were still saplings. I’m over rude and inconsiderate neighbors. I’m getting it from three sides.
You could have pressed charges on that neighbor for vandalism and made them pay for new trees.
One of my sons gave me a magnolia sapling for Mother's Day and the first time it bloomed, my neighbor went into my (fenced) backyard and cut off every single bloom.
I guess she wanted them for her table. It killed the tree. It just withered up and died after she did that, and nothing I could do to save it.
It's been many years and I still get upset just thinking about it.
How is mowing your little patch rude? I mean it would be nice if they asked you about it, but that's arguably doing you a little favor.
Look into whether your "lawn mowing neighbor" is trying to take possession of that narrow patch of grass. Crazy as it sounds, there are state laws that make it legal for someone to claim a property they've been taking care of over some length of time (duration varies by state). Don't let that happen to you...
They will keep doing it to prove they are right. Daring you to push back is their idea of fun. Defend yourself or lose your land. Creative ideas are all over RUclips. 😂
Was hoping to see it being “tested”. 😈
LOL, well my friend, we know it works because one of them was recently hit, we didn't get to witness it unfortunately, but the behemoth stone was slightly moved and there's rubber bumper residue on the stone :) LOL Thanks for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike & team
@@MrKnowItAllGuru trail cams! lol
@@MrKnowItAllGuru
You should turn them on end and set them in concrete. About a third of the stone buried. Immovable. And set them closer to the pavement.
10 years ago I would have done it for you for free, when I was still in business. My Bobcat would have moved those stones easily.
Unfortunately when I retired I sold all my equipment.

Good video! Thanks! We had to do the same thing--HOWEVER--the maniacal drivers in our housing development now actually think nothing of smashing their Lexus, M-B, or BMWs into our huge rocks!! One guy in a Lexus hit our rock, sheared the wheel completely off, then drove down the street on 3 wheels! INSANE!

UPS drivers would deliberately turn around in my yard and leave huge deep ruts So I bought a $7 video surveillance sign and told them they would be on RUclips If they did it again - problem solved.

Ahhh, memories… My dad put boulders around our mailbox and the front corner of our yard. It was amazing how many people finally learned how to keep their cars in the street.
LOL, it really does work :) Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great week TeddyBear. Guru Mike & team
Legally you can't do that because if someone hits them and gets injured you have to pay that's why mailboxes have to be on breakaway posts.
We had problems with out mailbox always being run over. We reinforced them with iron pipes and the culprit totaled his truck next night. Never heard a word from them. It is called f around and find out. This was over 30 years ago. No one hits our mailboxes anymore.
LOL, that's perfect!! I knew people that did that as well, it absolutely works!! Thanks for watching and sharing, we love the input, hope you have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team
Our mailbox is on the road in the middle of 25 others, we installed a locking box on a steel pipe filled with concrete, He even welded the
mailbox to it's holder so it couldn't be removed. Kids like to drive close with a baseball bat hoping to knock off everybody's boxes. Ours
is one still in good shape.
Not sure where your mailbox post is but if its at the street in the right of way and someone hits it and is injured because of a reinforced post you can be held liable for their injuries. There's a Supreme court case that set a president. I think it happened in Ohio. Easily looked up on google. I live in rural Kentucky and mine was constantly being knocked down by farming equipment (4 times in 1 month). 12 times since I moved here 2 years ago. I had to move it 20 ft onto my property and install a turnaround for the postal service. The postmaster came out when I complained about my situation and warned me about installing a fortified post for the box, postal regulations state that your post must breakaway if hit by a vehicle.
Not criticism, just food for thought.
When I was in high school we lived on a corner lot, lots of people took the corner carelessly and went up in our lawn. They were building a new school accross the street and unearthed a giant boulder. My mom got the contractor to move it to the corner of our lot.

I know I wasn't the only one hoping to see footage of a delivery driver being very careful on his next delivery.
It wasn't even so much the delivery drivers as it was our neighbors, inconsiderate as they are. Thanks for watching and sharing, there's definitely more careful driving down the drive now :) Have a great week my friend. Guru Mike & team
Our post office mail lady would turn her little mail truck around in our driveway usually a couple times per day. 22 houses on the street. She would drive down the entire circuit making the mailbox deliveries. Then she would randomly go back to houses for the packages. It usually took her 35 minutes to do the entire street of just 22 houses. And she drove off the driveway and crushed our sprinkler heads many times. Finally I put two 250 lb rocks on either side of the driveway and the problem got mostly solved. However, one day I found the stone in the street and I had to struggle to get it back in place. A year latter she retired and was replaced by a young guy who delivered to all 22 houses in about 5 minutes. I don't think he ever has to turn around at all. He delivers mail and packages in one stop at each house.
The way the new mail carrier did the deliveries, is actually how it's supposed to be done. That's a good carrier. We organize the mail, and packages in order, matching to the addresses in sections. Sorry your older carrier was so lazy. Surprised she wasn't ever reprimanded for taking so long with her deliveries. We have a time limit to each section, and whole route altogether.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
You ought to have called The Post Office and complained, took pictures!
Lol my parents did this too because drunk people were cutting the corner at the turn and tearing up the lawn. So now they have a large stone address block at the corner. Problem solved.
@sarahmcgee I have that problem too. The difference is I rent the house. I am 68 with arthritis throughout my body. The ruts made by the drunks makes it really difficult to mow those sections of the yard. I live in Florida, so I mow from May through October with a push mower. Unfortunately, I can't afford another riding mower (the one I have is currently not working). I am considering putting spikes around the edges of the yard.
Nice!! It cured our problem as well!! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great day. Guru Mike & team
Excellent solution. So many rude and entitled jerks out there that have zero respect for the property of others. Unfortunate that you have to spend so much of your time and money because of them. May future vehicle repairs prove to be as costly to the offenders.
We are with you my friend....I have always believed frustration builds invention so hopefully this works...I know I would never drive on someone property so I guess I just expected that of our neighbors...wrongo lol have an awesome day my friend guru mike out oh! and i do have to say it was the best couple grand i have spent in a long time especially when i see the rocks getting colored from many different bumpers :)
Well, you usually do spend a lot of money when you are a Karen.
@@Hawkeye517 protecting your own property isn't being a Karen. Putting your nose in other people's business is a Karen. Such a stupid thing to say Karen!

It looks a lot better with the rocks. Great idea and really i think it's better than putting a fence. Really looks nice.
Especially since a fence can be damaged by the same offenders

We had flower beds on the corner of our small front lot of our townhouse. Neighbors would stop and let their dogs poop and pee on the corner bushes all the time. I bought dried blood and put it on the mulch, all the dogs took one sniff and pulled away while their owners tried to get them to do their business! After about a week or so our problem was solved.!
Where do you get dried blood? Do you make it yourself?
Nice fertilizer for your plants too!
Now that's a good idea
@@ronaldh2886Dried blood also know as "Blood Meal" is a natural fertilizer and a repellent for some insects and animals. You can get it from most lawn and gardening section of store. Blood meal is basically flash/freeze dried cows blood. The reason why it would repell animals such as a dog and other animals because the smell is assisted death and when it's constantly in a certain area animals will think that it's a predators feeding/killing ground. But you must be careful with it because blood meal can contain lots of iron in it and can be dangerous and toxic for a god if the breath it is too much
See, that’s why I search the internet when I have a problem like this. There’s always some interesting solution you haven’t heard of.

When I built my new house on a CORNER lot in 1999, I met with the landscape comlany and asked that a kidney shaped mound be created at that corner. I asked for 3 large boulders to be placed on/in that mound. How large? they asked. I said, "Large enough to do serious damage to the underside of a full size truck if they decide to cut across my lot. Never had any problems the entire 18 years I lived in that hluse!

My house sat just off of a T intersection. When we first moved in the garbage man made sure he didnt run onto my property when he turned the corner. He retired and the new guy didnt care. We complained several times but nothing was done. We got or property surveyed and put large rocks 6" back from the property line. The next Monday we heard a big crash and saw that the garbage truck had plowed into one of the rocks. The company wanted to sue for damages. They tried to take it to court but nothing came of it because we had proof that the rocks were completely on our property.

I have a half circle driveway. Occasionally it's used to turn around. I don't mind. Sometimes I'm somewhere where I have to use a few feet of someone else's driveway to turn around. (I prefer to go around the block but out in the country "blocks" can be miles long).
If they were damaging anything I'd feel differently, but they're not.
Oh, and my grandmother was very proud of that driveway. "Rich people have driveways like that," she'd say.
I would also put up security cameras, that way if they hit your again, then can call their employer complain and have video proof.

I friend lived on a corner and was tired of people cutting through and trenching his yard so he put rocks in. The rocks may not have been big enough because someone drove through and tore out their oil pan and left a trail of oil across his yard and down the street.

It's a great idea and looks good. Fed X driver in my area, he drives across the yard, right up to the front porch, can see the tire marks in the grass. They don't care, no matter how many times you call in a complaint. I also have a sign on my porch, above a rug to leave deliveries there. They don't pay attention to that either and put them in front of the door. I'm disabled, I don't need my door blocked, what if there's an emergency! I'm in the Gulf Coast area of Florida, rocks are sold here and expensive.
I believe they put them in front of the door because they’re supposed to take a photo as proof of delivery.

I like what you've done. Even with smaller cars and the fact they have power steering people still can't keep them on the road. Just look next time you're in the grocery store parking lot. The smallest of cars are pulled in crooked or not centered in between the lines. The only thing that's frustrating about putting boulders in your yard is you've made a little more work for yourself, having to weed eat and mow around them. A neighbor near me parks on the grass to pick up and drop off her kids from the school bus everyday. It's starting to put indentations in the yard and with the heat of the catalytic converter it's cooking the grass. Sad thing is they live 300 feet from where their kids are dropped off and they've walked half way home by the time they get to the car.
Consider putting in a curb or a row of the concrete curbs that are used in parking lots. It won’t stop everything but will deter them and it’s easier to mow and trim than multiple irregular large stones.

Many of us small cars are parked weirdly because of the oversize vehicles spilling over the parking space lines. THEY don't care, THEY have to have lots of room front and back and both sides. I've come back to my small car and had no way to open the doors on either side of my car due to behemoths sprawling all over the place. Fortunately I am a contortionist and can squeeze and twist my way out of most problems. So don't be so judgey about our parking.

The explosives might get you in trouble. Why not use some of the "Rommel's Asparagus" obstacles from Omaha Beach? I imagine a few scrapped I-beams could be welded together. Put some balls on the ends of thse and use some lime to mark out an oversized hopscotch grid and now it's art.
sometimes you have to do what you have to do as other don't understand !
Agreed John!! They don't respect anyone else's property, same as parking your car in a parking lot and some buffoon parks next to you and slams their car door into your vehicle, so irritating, so I always park out in the sticks and walk 1/2 mile into the store :) LOL Thanks for watching, have a great weekend my friend.

Nice bigass rocks. Beautiful yard. Your neighbor should be helping.

I remember when I went over to my other property, and the electric company had turned around and broke my plastic pipe off on my artesian well and water was running all over the ground.
Luckily, I had a crick nearby and it went down hill towards the creek so it didn’t do no damage and I just had to repaired plastic pipe to get it back under control, but nobody said anything to me. I just happen to drive older that day and there was broke , it was on the same day that our electric meters were being red, but nobody confessed to it.
Yeah our well pipe is in our front yard. Had no problems until Doordash, etc. started. Some of the townies get confused and drive through the yard to turn around, passing right by it. We were worried about someone hitting it so when we scrapped an old washer, my dad put the stainless steel drum around it. Looks a bit odd but you can't miss it.
Amazing, the disrespect of people. Sorry you had that. Glad for the creek.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend my friend. Guru Mike & team
Knew a guy that had this problem. He put a plank with nails sticking out of it near the edge but still in his yard. People soon learned to keep off the grass whether walking or driving. Not sure if it was exactly legal but never heard of any consequences to him and it solved the problem.
One problem my son has (my dad had the same problem because my son bought my dad’s house) the house was next door to the community center parking lot. During elections the community center was a voting site. Both parties would stick their signs in my son’s yard. They never bothered to ask. My son went to the community enter and asked them to remove them. They did but the next election they were back. He just started pulling them up and pitching them in the parking lot.
The problem with the nail boards for me would be "me", I would forget they were there and walk on them myself..LOL. Great idea though! Thank you for watching and sharing, hope you have a great week my friend. Guru Mike & team
I don’t understand why people can’t back onto the road and then pull out. It seems like there’s plenty of room to do that.
Because people are non thinking a holes.
cuz they stupid & cant drive... if they try to sue them for having those rocks there they can sue them right back & tell the judge they back onto my land & damage it so rocks there to stop them if they cant drive the right way to bad
Because they don't care, because they're distracted usually by a phone in their hand, I could go on and on. We took care of our problem with the boulders :) Thanks for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike & team
North of Columbia MO a straight downhill road aims right at a house before it takes a sharp dogleg around it. A boulder the size of a Volkswagen Beetle protects the home.

Man, having people drive on your lawn is bad enough in most places, but you guys down there get those days of massive rainfall that saturate the turf, to the point just a bicycle driven across it will just tear it to pieces - lol, and I don't even want to think about the UPS truck! I know you eagerly anticipate the satisfying, if occasional, loud, crunching sounds of metal on stone soon!
LOL, you got that right philipatoz! The monsoon rains that come are unbelievable and do indeed cause issues if driven on the lawn after one of them! Thanks for watching, we will be sharing any crunching metal sounds with ya'll. Guru Mike
With that company ANY contact is a chargeable accident and goes on drivers record. All of these would be very serious. Trust me, I know. My neighbor and I share a driveway and at the road it is huge. Easy turn around. People will back out right on our grass, cut across to shorten the trip. When there is a job in our rural area all the contractors seem to use our drive as a meeting and turn around. We may have to fence it.
It's now June 6, 2024 and I am just seeing this video (though I did subscribe in recent months). I am thinking this channel could be like the 11foot8inch bridge where we all wait for a video of another box truck or RV getting can opened by hitting the I-beam in front of the trestle. If you've never seen the channel, treat yourself to binge watching the videos (most are only a minute or two). The best though are the comments. Anyway, I too can't wait to see hear the sounds.
A farmer friend i knew years ago, bulldozed cars left on his farm, into an unused quarry on his land and buried them under several tons of dirt. Still there rusting away after 60 years, as far as we know. I can safely tell his amazing tales as he sadly died in 2008 aged100 uk. Your hard work "Rocks", looks really great.

You gotta do wht you gotta do. Used to cut lawns. Way back in the day. Pipe from oil rigs. Drop a railroad rail. 4 feet deep. 3 feet high. Stainless steel cable is run through them. Drunk drives hit it and get thrown back on the road. I like you choice of material.
Thank you Daniel! We really like the end result as well. Thanks for the view and comment, it's a great idea as well! Hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
We had a problem when I was growing up with our neighbors. Even though we lived in a fairly well to do area, they would frequently throw major parties. People would park all over, including partially in our front yard, and would also back into our yard when they were leaving (dirt road and the yard was native seed w/buffalo grass). . My Dad and I spent a few weeks going up into the mountains, getting large rocks off the side of the road (far cheaper than buying them!). We then outlined our yard with the large rocks and waited for the next party. Something like 5 or 6 cars had to be towed out after becoming 'impaled' on the rocks. Boy were people *issed. That's what you get for destroying other peoples property!
LOL great story!! Thanks for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic weekend my friend. Guru Mike & team
Many years ago, our neighbor across the street was some kind of serious about his lawn and flowers. He was on a corner. Neighbor boys found it hilarious to drive through his yard tearing up the grass, always at night. One say he had enough, hung a railroad tie from a low branch. When the ususal suspects came through his yard and wrecked the hell out of their car. Before the police came, he took down the railroad tie, hid it somewhere and feigned ignorance. The boys did have to answer to the law. They never did it again.
That's one way to stop them!! LOL Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team
Yep. Had to do the same. I put a huge rock at the end of my driveway. I live on a main road and when people go around the person taking a left turn, they drove on our driveway then the lawn to go around. So damn annoying
Agreed!! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic weekend my friend. Guru Mike & team
I had to do the same thing thanks to neighbors who thought my yard was a parking lot and part of their driveway.
I asked numerous times for them to stop and they just didn’t care.
The heavy jagged Lake Superior boulders I had brought in have taken their toll on their vehicles at least three times that I know of. They actually had the nerve to call the police on me which gave me and the officer that responded a pretty good laugh. The cop actually asked me if I noticed any damage to my boulders just to get a further rise out of him.
He’d called code enforcement, whined to other neighbors and a county sheriff that lives down the road.
Everyone has asked him the same thing. “Why do you think it’s okay to drive through someone else’s yard?”
After 3+ years of this saga a for sale sign went up in their yard a few weeks ago. Praying for new neighbors with a touch of sanity and a slice of common sense.
We'll say a little prayer for you too my friend! That's our hope that we see a sign go up too, then we are going to buy that house so we can choose who lives there :) But for now, the boulders have cured the problem, one has been backed into because there's a nice strip of black bumper material on it :) Thanks for watching and sharing your story, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic week.

A friend of mine had a problem like that once on a corner lot.
He was retired Navy. He went to a Naval auction and bought 5 old anchors from Naval ships and proped them up on their sides on his corner lot.
No one crossed over his corner lot again.
Nice!! That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching and sharing, hope you have a great day. Guru Mike & team
My old landlord did this. Made a nice open space around the mailbox, poured a nice cement retaining wall around it and put some nice large rocks in the space around the mailbox. After a couple of damaged oil pans, engine blocks and front suspensions, he never had another damaged mailbox. I rented there over twenty years and never saw any damage.
Great idea!! Thanks for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
I had a horrible neighbor whose friends would sometimes drive across my lawn, so I bought some big boulders to put across the front of my lawn. But the problem was then his friends would still walk across my lawn to his house. I eventually had to put up a hog wire fence around my front yard and that stopped all the traffic. Best money I've spent on the house. I left the boulders and they will help make sure his friends don't hit my new fencing. The neighbor on the other side of him, also put up a hog wire fence! We fenced him in and we love it.
LOL Nice work!! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, we really have enjoyed reading all of the comments from folks like you. Hope you have a great week my friend. Guru Mike & team
I have a feeling that the turnaround driveway will be back after their cars are damaged several times.
No turnaround here, deadend into our private property. Thanks. Guru Mike & team
I live at the top of a hill. Beside the road going up it. At the bottom of the hill is a very nice place with a little picket fence. It on one corner of a four way stop intersection. There are constant fender benders and people sliding dow the hill in winter. This damages thir fance. They haven't been allowed to put in a stronger fence as this will cause more damage or worse accidents.
So he went to a local quarry. Got them to make him 3 pyramid shaped stones. Decorative stones. And every time they get hit he has to replace them.😊 The insurance companies and city council hate him because each cost them about 2500. The home owner and quarry owner split the payments as the quarry owner turnes them into gravel.
LOL Sounds like a never ending situation! Thank you for watching and sharing your story, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend my friend. Guru Mike & team
So he takes the broken pyramids back to the quarry to be recycled into gravel? That's pretty smart!
'This damages thir fance'
Fed up with people walking their dogs and letting them use my yard as a toilet when there is plenty of curb line and a park across the street, I put in planting beds along the sidewalk
I handle the dog crapping problem with putting signs on the lawn that say the yard has been treated. Doesn't say with hat. But it insures the dog walkers keep the dogs off the grass.
Nice!! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike & team
I'm at 4min and I'm going to give you a thumbs up, we dealt with something like this.
Thank you very much! We appreciate the view Bridget, hope you have a fantastic day. Guru Mike & team
We had both grass parkers and poop leavers. We compromised a bit with the people trying to park up on the curb to be out of the traffic lane and put in a ciuple of feet of packed gravel, but then the barrier started. We put a row of bushes lined with "decorative metal wire fencing" nobody wants to risk their tires on, so. they use their gravel strip very carefully. Bonus-the dogs can't walk through the bushes lined with wire fencing either. 2 birds, not in the bush lol
LOL Good job!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience, we really appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
I knew a house property that had people cut through his grass on an intersection corner. He put gallon milk jugs full of paint stripper bumper high from the corner of his house to the corner of the street. I thought it would eat through the milk jugs in a few days but never did……..

My neighbor growing up did this. They live on a corner lot that leads to a small highway entrance. This corner also houses a fire hydrant. Needless to say we had our fair share of geysers over the years before they did this. When it got icy, it got soo much worse. The city hasn't needed to replace that hydrant in well over a decade. Their rocks are a bit smaller but run 2 deep in some areas on that corner, and those suckers are rough and sharp. We could hear the carnage from hits until the regulars got use to not cutting that corner.

The largest rocks in the world aren't going to stop bad, stupid, careless or vindictive drivers from getting on your lawn. Where's the will, there's a way-----and that's why these dolts will never learn any lessons. They may damage their vehicle, but they'll just keep repeating
their behavior over and over again. We've seen a former neighbor use a four-foot stone wall to prevent drivers from driving onto their property. Two years ago a speeding driver hit the stone wall; his truck went airborne and demolished the family's porch and garage. The driver's insurance company tried arguing that the stone wall----on the people's property----was a nuisance obstacle to drivers and actually invited drivers to hit the wall. The driver and his insurance company didn't get to first base, but they sure tried their best to avoid paying for the extensive damages. And the stone wall still exists and is doing its job. In fact, three other neighbors also had stone walls erected on their property to try to stem damage by speeding drivers.
LOL that's GREAT!! We are on a private drive, so we are just trying to keep our careless neighbors from driving on the lawn, driving over our sprinkler heads (every week) and backing into our palms, so far so good, only had one vehicle back into one of the boulders, there's a lot of black plastic (bumper) on one of them :) It works :) Thank you for watching and sharing, we love the input, hope you have a fantastic weekend. Guru Mike & team
Soak the soil at the base of each stone so they sink in a little. If they do get run into, they will move less.
Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team
A lot of extra edging now but I reckon it’s worth it.
Yeah, edging’s nothing compared to the nuisance he stopped.
It sure is!! We haven't had to replace a sprinkler head since doing this!! Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike & team
Great idea. I have the same problem with tucks turning around in our double drive. There is plenty of room to turn, without going on the grass, but they do it anyway. As for power washing the stones, it would cost a mint to do that in my area. I am currently dreading the water cost for power washing washing my house and deck.
Eh, the rocks cost enough. Rocks are supposed to be dirty. If you can get the rocks put in, I wouldn’t bother washing them. He just had the stuff on hand and decided to do it.
This definitely took care of the problem for us Betty! We only rinsed off the boulders because they were covered in dirt/dust, we haven't had to do anything with them since :) We appreciate the view and comment, hope you have a great day. Guru Mike & team
It also enhances the look of the yard I think
True. And in this case, looks better than a fence would.

Did this once, lived across from a community center that was popular to hold high school reunions at. They'd park in my lawn every year. Came home once to find TWO giant motor homes parked on my lawn. Rude guys at the reunion refused to identify the owners or make them move. We warned them "Move it or lose it. Towing company will be delighted to help you lose it". Finally saw a couple of people show up and move the RVs. Put in those exact kind of rocks that fall. No more lawn parkers.
Word of warning, the rocks will sink over time. My 2 1/2 ft tall rocks were barely visible when I finally sold the property.
LOL good work my friend! Thanks for watching and sharing your story, hope you have a fantastic weekend. Guru Mike & team
I had an HVAC contractor run over an irrigation box when the soil was wet. It drove the box down into the main line (southern California the pipes are not that deep) and broke it.
After that, I did the same thing. Rented a bobcat and move giant boulders along the driveway.
Driving down the driveway people are more than careful to stay on the blacktop now.
Yeah, they are more considerate of where they are driving for sure!! It works!! Thanks for watching and sharing your story, we really enjoy reading everyone's experiences, have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike & team
It sucks you had to do that because now you got a moe around them and trim. We have an issue with like at the end of our driveway. We live right off of a dirt road but we have a cement driveway so I got a couple of rocks down there on the gravel. 1 UPS driver didn't see large rocks and oh well. bang.
I would just spray herbicide around the perimeter of the rocks to save the labor of trimming around them.
LOL, thanks for watching and sharing your story, we appreciate it, hope you have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team
I'm surprised you didn't stand those stones on end to give a higher area of reach and slight more damage to the cars backing over the lawn. Hell, that would've been my first thought. It burns my ass when people destroy others property, etc. but do that to something they've worked for and see how upset they get.
Oh, they're high enough to cause damage my friend :) Some day, we will get to hear the sweet sound of crunching plastic/metal :) Also, we haven't had to replace a sprinkler head since! Thanks for watching, have a fantastic weekend. Guru Mike
@@MrKnowItAllGuru I'd call that solved. :)
An pour a cement footing to hold them in place. I had problems with folk wiping out my mailbox till I mounted it on a railroad tie buried it in a 3ft deep hole fulla cement, it's still there ben hit cuple times but the tie doesn't give.
At my old home, i was able to maneuver my 53 ft trailer in and out of my driveway without touching the grass (my own and all my neighbors). If i can do that with 53 ft trailer (76 ft entire length of truck and trailer), there's no excuse for anyone operating a delivery van or box truck

Could you sue the companies every time someone hits a rock. With video evidence of course. I have heard some people make a profit from people hitting the giant rocks and trees in their front yards.
My old neighbor on Long Island, New York had hedges across the front of her yard which people constantly crashed. She made so much money off the insurance companies it was crazy!!! She would stand those bushes up and feed them and wait again for the next dope!! More money all the time. They paid for ruining her grass also! We all laughed, but she got the checks!
Fences, trees, bushes. What you can't do is what a guy my grandfather knew did. He lived on a bad curve and in rain and ice, people would slide into his yard. When the gas crisis hit in the 70s, he lined the yard with cheaply bought gas guzzling Cadillacs, Lincolns, etc. After a few claims, an insurance agent was sent out and threatened to cancel his insurance if he didn't move them.
That wasn't our intention, we were just trying to save our lawn and our sprinkler heads from having to be replaced every week. Thank you for the view and comment, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike & team
I have 3,000 tons of boulders that you could have for free. You load and take away from CT. For all the work, you should have just had the company place them. You could have been hurt. I would never have asked my wife to put her weight into it. I bought her a Ford tractor with a loader.
We had a problem 60 years ago with kids hitting our mail box. My Dad got a rock drill and drilled into the ledge. He then set the mail box on a heavy steel pipe into the ledge. A couple weeks later there was a big crash in the middle of the night. The next morning there was a bumper next to the mail box and a trail of oil running down the road. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
News flash you @richardross7219. The cost of rocks is based on the labor to move them - not because rocks are a precious object or you made them haha.
The labor fees in FL are insanely high. Your fantasy that wholesalers of boulders just stick around and work for free installing materials never happens.
The landscape company that brought the boulders would not place them for us, we did ask. As far as my wife.... we joke all the time, don't worry, she gives it right back to me :) LOL Thanks for the view and comment, your dad did good :) Have a great week my friend. Guru Mike & team
@@MrKnowItAllGuru My wife outranked me when we were in the Army 47 years ago. We made a lot of compromises.

It paid for itself 35 years ago and I still have it(hasn't run in 25 years). Be ware of ticks. My wife died from a tick bite 7 years ago. Good Luck, Rick
Since you have such a pretty yard, you should invest in a powered gate instead of just a chain. You don’t have to have a fence to install a gate.
We're working on that idea Ken! Thanks for the view and comment, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike & team
@@MrKnowItAllGuru If you are open to suggestions, we installed a Mighty Mule gate and opener in 2018 and it is still in service. My only regret is that now Mighty Mule offers an opener I could control from my phone instead of having to go down to the gate and set the control to keep the gate open when we are having a party or expecting a big delivery. I installed the solar charger option and a second battery since the gate was too far away to reach easily with power. The only maintenance I have done is to occasionally jack the gate up a little so I can easily add grease to the hinges and spray a little silicone garage lube on the pistons. Of course, companies change over time, but our opener has given us great service. The only other suggestion I would make is to put all your wires in conduit. It not only protects them from accidental contact with a shovel, but should you ever have to replace a part like the vehicle sensor or a gate motor, you don't have to tear up your yard again, you can just pull the new connecting wire through the conduit. Your property looks wonderful and I hope you continue to enjoy working on it.
