I have seen first hand how when those are installed correctly, what they can stop.
And oh yeah, find out who is driving on your law and go do it to them. Or dig their lawn up and drive away with it in your pickup. |

At work we had issues with cars and buses running over the grass even though it is well over 2 lanes wide at 32 feet. 4000# limestone rocks put an end to it. They get hit but don't take any damage.
For the OP, I would add pavement to the area given the layout of the driveway.

Seems trivial to me but if there are sprinkler heads involved then the potential for them to be damaged might be a problem. For that I'd install a motion activated camera and send the license number to the police along with a complaint for damages. They will have to forward your complaint and should identify the party that owns the vehicle.
Otherwise I'd mulch it with a lot of mulch and plant some flowers. Actually the flowers could be considered for damages as well. |

First, that looks tight in Baz's provided photos.
Either gate it off and put in a drop location for what is being delivered, or widen the radius. Second, Gogar's idea of bronze seems like it would fit in better than stone. However, perhaps more expensive when the bronze has an encounter. |

For someone sitting high up, the wall on the right is a visual guide.
It says "drive across this corner". (or create 50 delicate/hollow small statues, color them cammo so they become invisible, value them at $100K/per, set up camera, and sue the piss out of every delivery company who drives through your property. Pizza on a Friday night by a big chain will work best.) Last edited by john70t; 12-19-2018 at 06:35 PM.. |

Potato Launcher 1st! Dig a ditch and they'll reck their car. Putting rocks next to the road it VT is illegal. But a ditch is not! 5 cars in 20 years at me home. They were not happy. OWE! Last one hit a tree cause they were texting. No one was hurt, but the car was totaled. Doesn't need to be that deep a foot would do, and then they'll hit the wall

Yeah, call the police and tell them that a car tire came off the driveway and made a mark in your grass. Jeezus. You should also probably consult an Attorney just in case.

If I could I had one more piece of advice to what I mentioned earlier, you might wish to trim the bushes on the opposite side of the driveway. They encroach the edge of the pavement and are surely going to encourage drivers to hug the right side of the pavement as they leave the circle.

herr oberst wins. That is exactly what I would do...add some asphalt (after you sue every trespasser in sight to pay for it, of course).
Nice looking place, btw.

Cinder block fence, baby poo paint is optional
Couple big rocks, put reflectors on them. Alternatively, gravel to soften the curve a bit, with big rocks to keep them from getting too far over

The drive does narrow down extremely there for larger vehicles., not surprising that some end up on the grass.
If you don't want to add to the paved width, you could install some of this paving grid material. Once it settled in the grass will still look pretty nice and the grid will keep wheels from digging into the lawn https://www.agriculturesolutions.com/agtec-geocell-ground-grid-paver-2-inch-8-4ft-x-27-4ft?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsNrfoOiu3wIVjCSGCh3o9QFwEAQY BCABEgIJPvD_BwE Cheers Richard |

A 12' wide driveway with wide radius curves allows easy access in and out for delivery trucks. Secure this with bigazz rocks extending the existing wall line.

Counterclockwise?

I think if you block that corner off with anything they might scrape the wall on the left.
Just not a good design for delivery trucks. Need to pave it straight. Or the garbage cans that some guy doesn't want in front of his house.....
