Slighty skewed but i did this about 20 years ago, we moved into a new semi. Neighbours where fine at firsit then started leaving thier cars in our parking spaces or just overhanging them so it was difficult to get into our car(s). The spaces where perfectly adequate, this was lazyiness or just bad parking.
Anyway i had a pleasant word with him and it stopped for a while. In the mean time next door took to playing loud music at all hours. This went of for a while (month in all i guess) i banged on the wall a few ti9me and went round in the end as i was sick of it and had words. He got stroppy and i told him to stop. He didn't.
I went to work, loaded up a 2kw sound system, pr of bose 802's and a pr of 302 subs and took them home and set them up in the lounge facing the adjoining wall. Our lounge was 12' x10' i guess so not a large room and 2kw seemed perfectly adequate for the job in hand
He started play his music loud - i went round to ask him to stop, he did not answer the door so i turned on my sound system and cranked it up. Went out for a couple of hours.
When i came back we literally heard no more from them

Mr OS did exactly that with some neighbours of his years ago. He never had any bother after that.

I'm pondering over what actions to take with neighbours who are irritating to say the least. Their driveway is away from their house and adjacent to my garden. When they pull up they park right on the edge of the drive so get out onto my garden. They also think it's fine to place their baby seat half way down our driveway whilst they load their car up and walk about all over the front of our garden. When they back onto the drive they often leaving it overhanging the end of ours meaning I can't get our car out. Also when it snowed he decided to shovel all the snow off his drive onto my garden and all over the plants burying them.
These are alleged religious types who seem to have absolutley no morals on how to respect other people's property. I have confronted them before politely asking them to move their car back and to stop blocking our drive only to be met with an angry attitude.
Oh and the best bit was when she asked if she could poor some weed killer over a section of my garden next to their drive because it had some weeds on that I had not got rid of. I told her no thanks and then she had the cheek to question if it was even part of my garden and not theirs
Then only a couple of weeks ago I was tidying the front garden up (after mowing the lawn) and the dog was sitting down. She pulls up and has the cheek to ask if my dog is safe because she is scared of them. What a ******* fruit cake, the dog is laying down in my garden and not bothering her at all. And this is about the most dopey Labrador you could get so hardly going to get up and bark at her or appear menacing
I'm considering what to place on the piece of garden along their driveway to stop them walking all over it. Either some holly bushes or some large rocks and make a lovely rockery high enough to bash their car door if they try and open it over my garden and step onto it.
If they were neighbours I liked I wouldn't givea toss about them walking on the garden but as they are very unfriendly and to be quite honest I can't stand them it's time I made it quite clear to stay off my property.
Astraboy all suggestions welcome

That you would think is the easy answer but the way the properties are laid out being open plan it would look strange plus there may also be a covenant to say you can't fence the front of your property. If you did put a fence up it could only be a small 2' for example and they would more than likley just step over it or bash it with their car doors.

And you can make sloe gin from the fruit!
I think that the only way is a fence which is just high enough to be awkward to climb over. Could be out of wire which is not too visible. You can always check to see if there is a covenant.
They sound too "b' " minded to take notice of anything else.

Our old neighbours had a hole in their fence and their dog was forever sh1tting in our garden and tearing our bags open. They did **** all about until one day we got home and found a note in the door asking not to leave chicken bones in our rubbish. Their dog had eaten some bones and for some reason could not digest them so had to go to the vets and have them removed.
Thats the most bizarre story I've ever heard - its just wrong

Small fence with lots n lots of grease. If it starts making a mess of their clothing, they might just stop encrouching on your property. If they complain about getting grease on their clothes ask them why are they walking on your property.....

I've cleared the bit of land back to just plain earth waiting to decide on what i'm putting on it. I saw them from my desk when they pulled up in their car and saw it, they know i'm up to something 
I was thinking rolls of barbed wire and keep off signs with a picture of a land mine.
