I had a friend with a house like that. He tried to plant trees but they would never get big because some idiot would crash a car into them and flatten the tree. He finally put up a LARGE berm of dirt and built a rail road tie beam wall around it. The dirt had not even fully settled when a large delivery truck tested the build quality. That truck was indeed stopped by a wall of dirt and rail road ties. The entire family was home in the living room right were the truck would have plowed through.
