    A one foot high picket fence wouldn't obscure the view much, but would define a boundary.

        OK, then how about some razor wire?

            And maybe some hungry sex starved rottweilers roaming the lawns and you could have a word with bobleponge to see if he could supply you with any IEDs he brought back as souvenirs.

              It is clearly somebody's garden ! Some peeps just don't have any respect

              - - I am gradually turning the whole lawn over to flowers anyway.
              To most of us, maybe. Some people don't think like that!

              Follow them home, and let them see you tip your dog/cat/rabbit/hamster effluent on their garden/path/border and ask them what they think!

              I guess, some folk are just ignorant!

                Moat!!!...you must be a MP then. I'd definitely try for a tax rebate to clean it out!!


                Box, lavender or even rosemary makes more traditional (less suburban) edging.


                Gives the dogs something to pee on too!

                  Dogs would just pee up a fence anyway i suppose. I used to live in a terrace and the guy two doors up got so peed off, quite understandabley because everyday this dog would be allowed to leave a fresh steaming deposit right inside his gate.
                  So one day he picked it up in a bag and ran after the bloke, said to him, sorry mate you dropped this and shoved the deposit into his pocket without the bag attached!!
                  Didn't happen again! Don't know how you'd do the same with wee though.
                  When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

                    I had a similar experience. Some people who live round the corner had let their dog off the lead whilst walking it. The dog wandered into my front garden and promptly left a parcel. The owners, I'm sure must have seen him do it because they came and got him out but left the 'parcel' for me to clear up!! I have a dog but would never dream of letting him off the lead in a residential area and even if I had and he had done a mess, I would certainly have cleared it up.

                        Try paying money for 6 acres of public dog toilet. I'm sick to death of cleaning up dog mess from my gateway as the neighbours let their pooches cr*p there, not even considering the fact I have to handle my pony's feet. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! Latest is that I'm finding fag butts IN MY WATER BUCKET from the builder of one neighbour. Found them on Sunday morning and will be having a word tonight, especially after already finding litter from their kids (yes, it's a free playground, despite them having a garden and then 1000s of acres to wander in).

                          Corner plots are a problem especially if they are grass, as a kid I used to cut the corner off a neighbours garden though they never said anything. I think a movement sensor sprinkling system would be good, and it would dilute the pee. If you can't beat them deter them.
                          I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.

                            I thought the title said pheasants, then I read it all, lol.

                            We had a similar prob, I went out and asked the people as I saw them to stop please as my children play there and it's not hygenic. One was letting her dog poo there and then picking it up and saying that's ok as I've picked it up... err no!
                            It hasn't happened since to my knowledge.

                                Should I have run out and told them that I'd just sprayed it with weedkiller ?
                                We have the same problem as people walk their dogs past our house. I even watch through the kitchen window let their dogs wee on my plants!
