No curb on the street ruining my lawn
Il Monello
hydrant in front of their house so all his visiting freinds park infront of
my house and are ruing the first couple of feet of my lawn. This proerty is
the treebelt infront of the sidewalk so technically it is not mine. Any
suggetions to as what I can do to stop this?
Thanks

First step would be to talk to your local city or township authority to
see if it is legal or not, and/or if you actually have any rights to
this land. Second step depends on the outcome of the first step.

and convince the town that they ought to take his property
be eminent domain, and put a municipal parking lot there.

to the street. Place them ~8 feet apart so cars can't park between them.
That's what I did. I painted the rocks white, and they look nice.

Water the lawn, weed eat, or mow the grass making sure to get some on the
parked car if in the yard. Or perhaps a small sign the says "Please do not
park on the grass"

parking, including yourself, then lay out a narrow 1 or 2 foot edged gravel
area or something to accommodate on-street parking and plant a 36" hedge row
to minimize the appearance of parked cars from your living room window.
Plan 'B': I'm not sure, but I think you have 'property rights' to this
street front easement, since you are required by law to maintain it. Ask
them to keep their tires on the 'asphalt'. If there is not enough room for
cars to pass, that is a problem for city hall, not you. Print a copy of your
property rights and give it to the neighbor, politely. Hold your neighbor
responsible, not the visiting car drivers. Let the neighbor know you
'expect' him or her to enforce the parking rules for all their visitors.
This should reduce grass damage by 80 percent, you can live with the rest.
Plan 'C': Just seed the area with fast growing rye grass and tolerate the
lumps and neighbors till someone moves away.
Plan 'D': Ask yourself what you would do if all these cars were friends of
yours. Be honest.
Although planting rocks will work, you then have to weed-eater around them.
No fun. They can be a hazard to everyone traveling down the street. Do you
want your teenage daughter side swiping someone's rock border on a dark
winter night to avoid an accident? Young children can fall and injure
themselves on your rock border. Don't even want to think what that might
mean in America!
On the other hand, if your neighbor is a dip sh*t, put up the rocks until
they move, then remove the rocks.

enough junk cars from a local salvage yard to line your property and
park them on the street in front of your house. Allow blackberry
bushes to grow up around them and then complain to the city that
someone has abandoned cars on your street. Since the city will
undoubtedly take several years to remove them, you're good until that
happens.
Option 2. (If your city is more proactive.) Dig a large pothole in the
ground in the affected area and fill it with water. Call the city and
tell them about it and since it's a safety hazard they'll come fill it
with asphalt. Keep doing this until the entire area is paved and then
you don't have to worry about it.

not mine. Any suggestions to as what I can do to stop this? >>
Pick up a couple of the orange cones that get punted off the road at
construction sites and plant them out front. The ones with the winky lights on
top would look real classy <G>
Or how about a couple of old parking meters? Most city garages have these out
back somewhere. Think of the profit!

front yard (that's probably what your neighbor did to keep 'em off his
lawn). You could also be original and make it a transformer, real-estate
sign, septic riser, Buddha-statue, whatever.

its not your lawn, its part of the city street and your gras is growing
ito the street??? if this is the case then dig out the grass and get
some pea gravel and fill the street up and then spray the area with weed
killer and you will not have the problem of people parking on your
grass... another thing is that you might be able to cut an apron on that
area and use it as a driveway to get to your property and then people
will not be able to park there.... and then think about it real good....
is it the parking on your grass thats bothering you or the ask holes
that go next door that park infront of your house... i have the roll
over curb and new neighbors just moved in and they have a string of
visitors coming and going all day long... a wheel on my grass will get
me over there to get them off my grass, it took a few weeks to educate
them, but at least then dont do it any more.. also we never parked on
the street before these new people, now we have two of the three cars
parked on the street to keep these people away, we also have to have our
90 gallon wheeled garbage can in the driveway to let them know that they
cannot pull into our driveway when turning around....... so i think i
know what you are going through....

garden on the "planting strip", and park in the street. He had neighbors so
offended that they were calling the police and trying to get him
(successfully) ticketed for "blocking the roadway". He had to go to court
with the laws in hand to prove that he was in the right. Some of his
neighbor's are following suit now, I hear.

My neighborhood is the same way. Many people have LARGE rocks lining
the edge of the lawn to physically prevent the car from parking on it.
Works very well.

Sometimes, people get very upset even if you aren't actually parking on the
easement, but against it.
Then you get out of the car and suddenly now you're "trapsing all over "their"
lawn."
I guess the only real solution is to buy a house with a curb in front of it, or
install one in front of your existing house.
