Stop walking on my lawn!!

What is the best way to stop kids and others from walking across your lawn? I don't care if they are walking on it near the sidewalk, but they are walking across it up near my house and right through where I just put down grass seed. It's very frustrating. It's my property and my money that I am putting into having nice lawn. Why can't others respect that?

Shoot them. They're in YOUR yard.

But you forgot first you have to lure them into your car, drive them to a gravel pit and then shoot them and dump their bodies.




Seriously, Adv - I have the same problem. People mistake my yard for a public park or something. Short of putting up no trespassing signs all over I have no clue. I have approached people though when they walk their dogs in my yard and have said "Hi. Never seen you before, where do you live?" and when they look a little put out I say "no worries - not trying to stalk you, I just want to bring my dogs over to walk in your yard since you are walking yours in mine." I usually never see them again.

I must be the only person who doesn't care if neighbor kids run through my yard.
