My Dad had the same problem. His lawn was his pride and joy, and these jerks took great perverse pleasure in wrecking it. Not to mention the lazy assed truck drivers who swung wide through it.
He built a fence of 6" concrete filled steel pipe and hung red reflectors on it. The pipes bent and hung up on the undercarriage of the looped drivers. Dad would calmly walk out and tell the how screwed they were now. Cops already called, repair bill already written. One trucker actually got stuck in the mud in the front lawn during rainy season and had to balls to tell Dad don't worry, insurance will cover it. Dad asked if insurance would cover gun shot tires. Dad was a hoot.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
