Maybe have a fence up to stop that kind of thing?

You need a sign saying no going on the grass or even better get a fence up.

Would you really put a sign up? As stated above their is one before you come down the drive saying keep off the grass. Maybe we need repeaters. Potentially a couple of speed limit signs to encourage some of the faster drivers who speed up and down. Maybe a mind your step sign on the stone steps up to the house.

I would continue the wall across but this is the route onto the lawn for the ride on, and very large vehicles can use this to spin around if they engage their brain and don't put the driven wheels onto the wet grass. If they had needed the space to reverse back onto they would have been fine, left a couple of tread marks not a foot deep hole.
 
you should have given them speed instead, grass was always going to slow those youths down, they probably ended up in the local Esso buying pringles due to the munchies.

I'd put a fence up because no doubt someone will do the same again in future, people ignore please signs
Humans will human.
 
I've met some guys like this before. Absolute rock-bottom of the employment barrel, no qualifications or education, no hope or chance in life, no prospects or anything... but hearts of gold and still willing to work at whatever job comes their way. Exactly the sort of easy target slaves that Amazon vacuums up to assimilate into their collective.
Most of the time they're given the ********* vans, loaded with 2-3 days worth of deliveries, and told to have them finished within a day. I've usually met them broken down somewhere or stuck in the mud outside our house, with no breakdown cover available and not a clue how they're going to get out of that situation, while their boss is on the phone screaming for them to sort it out and get back on the job.
A couple of times they've gone off the road and down the 12" drainage gully at the side. One guy had never even driven a van before and only passed hs car test a few weeks earlier.
 
There was a time where people just put this down to having a bit of grass at the front of their house and it just happens due to the time of year and weather
 
There was a time when people had the common sense to turn around on the driveway not the grass.

The hundreds of other delivery drivers that have been have managed it.

Anyway, just filled the ruts with a couple of bags of topsoil. Will come back in spring.
 
Looks like he is doing the pee dance. But also touching.

I'd just stick a big rock there or a bush, that will stop people doing it and it won't look out of place like a fence.
 
Pee dance? Is that a thing? :-)

Im going to move the greenhouse and build a patio in its place, resurface the driveway etc. Might put something to block access to the grass like stone or plants, or even just raise the border a bit, although maybe a trip hazard. Patio where greenhouse is will also double as extra space to turn if needed.
