The purpose it so they will fall into it when they come too close. RIght
now they are taking over my property inch by inch with big trucks that
go in there and keep driving so close as to eat up my lawn on the
banking and making my lawn smaller and smaller. I think it would be
cheaper to dig a ditch than put up a fence.

Boulders work beautifully, and they can be very attractive landscape. Easy

That does sound like a good idea if only cars are involved, but I'm
wonderng if the big trucks will push the boulders farther onto his
lawn and there will be another fight about that.

The OP says nothing about discussions with the land owner next door,
whether he is cooperative, whether he owns the trucks or they are
visiting trucks. In other words, how much direct control he has over
them. I also wonder if there is any indication of where the boundary
is. If the original boundary has been crushed to death and it looks
like the boundary is 2 feet further in, then it's not surprisign that
once in a while someone goes two inches beyond that, and so on. A
method need be made to mark the boundary in a way that isn't erased
when a truck or several drive over it. The bouldrers sound good for
that, but there must be other ways too.



to trim around with a weedeater. All you have to do is water them and
polish them occasionally. I have some old satellite dishes that are about
two feet in diameter I have put on top of mine, drilling holes and inserting
three pieces of rebar for supports. Brings in the birds for watching, or
squirrels for stew. Yummy!
