Granite quarry blocks. You need an 18 wheeler to deliver them, but nothing short of a tank will budge them.

Yep, that is what I did and no one ever ran into my front yard trees.

I looked it up. The house sold last year and it actually had a string of hefty rocks in front, perpendicular to the garage. No way a car go over them and hit the front and still have the speed to land in the drink behind the house. (Not a lake at this end of Deal Lake, hardly a creek.)
Driver must have made a special trip to get into the water afterwards! :D

Not a pricey neighborhood either. But if I were the insurance investigator...well...I’d be extra skeptical.

There are a couple of houses where I live that feature front yard boulders because of the propensity of local drunks to blow the stop sign.

Best mitigation measure I’ve seen to prevent this sort of thing was constructed at a home situated facing a T-intersection where the minor road descended a long hill and ended at the T. The house was struck multiple times by erratic/reckless/drunk motorists who would speed down the hill and drive right through the intersection and across the lawn of the home. The homeowner’s insurance company came up with this plan:

— 22-foot long sections of steel railroad rails driven into the ground at four-foot intervals along the front lawn of the home.

— 7 feet of each rail protruded above the ground. The remaining 15 feet were embedded in the ground.

— A neat hedge row planted along the entire front lawn, totally obscuring the steel rails from view in any direction.

Worked like a charm. One night when nobody was home, the neighbors heard a car hurtling down the hill. There was a brief screech of brakes at the bottom, then an odd loud metallic sound that was described as “the dull vibration of a giant tuning fork.”

The car was a mangled wreck. The hedges were a bit ruffled, but there wasn’t a single piece of the car larger than a soup can on the front lawn beyond the hedges.
