Honestly OP, it's hard for any of us to actually even believe your situation, because it's so outrageous. I can't believe you would watch people park all over your property and not do a single thing about it.

Putting up a simple "NO PARKING" sign next to "Private Property" or ideally a "NO PARKING Tow Away Zone" sign is non-confrontational and cheap and you're totally within your rights to do it. I have NO IDEA why you wouldn't do that. Can you explain it to us?[/quote]

I didn't watch them do it. I saw it after the fact when I came home. In the morning, I have seen it happen when people are waiting for the bus, but I am also getting my children ready and I dont have time to stop what we're doing and bring my kids outside with me to the corner of my large lot to confront them about it.  We moved in recently, school just started, my schedule was different until recently. What is so difficult for you to understand?

Do you want a few signs like that on your property? They're an eyesore, of course I dont want that. I also dont think you are understanding the size of my lot. I would have to space these signs out over 200 linear feet or so just to ensure they would be seen. [/quote]

If you have a huge lot and the space you're talking about is basically all mud anyway and is miles from your house, and happens to be right on top of a bus stop, then I can see why they think it's NBD to park there.

You need to make it look like someone lives there and cares about that area of land. People suggested signs because you indicated that other solutions were too expensive. Signs are cheap. But you need to do something, otherwise it will never stop.[/quote]

It's not all mud, nor is it a mile from my house. We spent a lot of time and energy growing seed on the patchy areas at the end, where the bus stops. It looked great all summer. Over the past month, our neighbors have put tracks in it again. Yes, the grass has died in those areas, but it's far from "all mud". [b]I indicted that large rocks and a new fence were expensive AND I didn't like the aesthetic. I do not like the aesthetic of signs, either. I'm also not a fan of the lawn marker poles.[/b] I could maybe use them in the interim if I were to plant a decorative grass border and wait for that to mature. [/quote]

So . . . I guess you stand out there and tell them not to park?  Or the caltrops suggestion?

I don't know what to tell you.  You want people to stop parking there, and that isn't going to spontaneously happen.  [/quote]
