Man Comes Up With Bold Plan To Stop People From Cutting Through His Yard

Like plenty of homeowners, Thomas Lyons found that his peace and quiet was often interrupted by other people in the neighborhood. Now, the guy could handle most things in that respect — but one issue in particular really stuck in his craw. And it had to do with his front yard. Thomas was eventually pushed to breaking point, which led to an extreme plan...

Protective to a fault?

Trust us, folks — you won’t believe your eyes! Thomas went all out to shield the beautiful stretch of manicured grass outside his home from people cutting across it. The dude was incredibly protective... perhaps to a fault. But what else might he have done here? Were there any alternative methods that could’ve been just as effective in keeping those passers-by away?

An open space

Well, perhaps Thomas could’ve tried to add a bit of privacy to the space out front. Due to how big and open it was, maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised that folks felt compelled to cut through it. They certainly refused to ignore the temptation! But would any of the following approaches have succeeded in obstructing their paths?

Hedges

In fact, should you find yourself in a similar situation to Thomas, these methods might be useful for you as well! So, let’s get into them. If you don’t want to start laying brickwork around the border of your front yard, why not invest in a row of hedges? Hopefully that’ll put an immediate stop to people trampling over the grass.

Dedication

Make no mistake, though — this wouldn’t be a “one and done” type of project. You’d have to show a certain level of dedication to keep these green borders in check. Plus, initially putting the hedges in place will require some physical exertion, too. But overall, it’s a fairly straightforward process, as we’re about to find out.
