You're in the car, ready to head home from a long day at work. You pull up to your house and hop out, eager for some peace and quiet after a stressful day. But when you get to the front door something is off...there's a giant dent on your lawn! How did it happen? Did someone sneak into your yard while you were gone and vandalize it? No one would do that right? Well then, there's only one explanation: you parked on your own lawn. Don't beat yourself up, it can happen to anyone. I know this isn't what you want to hear but it's probably best if you learn from someone else's mistakes instead of your own! It may not be as simple as putting some wood under that tire or moving those trash cans out of the way. In order to keep parking on your lawn from ruining it you're going to have put some thought into where exactly within those boundaries do you need to park. There are different climates across America, so there might be certain of this process that vary depending on where you live. If it's too late for that, well then there are some things you can do to minimize any damage done to your grass...but they won't be easy either! Work on loosening up those hard packed dirt spots so if future vehicles need to park on these areas their wheels don't sink into the mud or tear up your lawn. You could also consider putting down wood chips if it seems like an issue with people parking frequently near certain parts of your yard. It will definitely take extra time but might just save what little bit of green space you have left from being destroyed. Is it OK to park a car on grass?Remember, this isn't something that happens overnight! It can take months (or even years) of people parking on your lawn to cause irreversible damage that will leave it looking like an empty desert instead of an inviting green space. So please be patient with yourself if every time you come home there's another little dent...it could actually get worse than what I've described here so don't give up hope yet! As long as you're conscious about where exactly within your property lines you park then hopefully things won't get too bad - but if they do, at least you'll have a little bit of warning before the damage is too great to recover from.
I hope this helps! If things continue being an issue then I would consider putting up some signs near where people park that give clear instructions on how to get into your yard properly if it's not already obvious. It will save time down the road trying figure out what else might be going wrong when everything seems fine...until suddenly it isn't anymore.
