Situations like this can seem minor. It can also happen accidentally. It's no big deal if your neighbor took a shortcut to access their driveway once. But if they use it on purpose every day… Well, that crosses the line. They shouldn't be stepping over your property if you don't allow it.
At that point, it's no longer a misunderstanding or an accident; it's a habit.

Now, blocking access is a whole different issue. You should be able to access your property without anyone else preventing you from doing so. Being unable to leave or enter your own driveway isn't just inconvenient; it disrupts your routine and shows a complete lack of consideration.

Reporting the behavior and installing posts isn't an overreaction; it's protecting what's yours. Your property isn't there to be used at someone else's convenience. Also, repeatedly driving over the lawn causes real damage over time. The grass wears down and the ground becomes uneven, so the neighbors could actually ruin her lawn.

A small shortcut every day can eventually turn into an expensive repair. That's why building a physical boundary becomes necessary, not just to stop the unconsiderate behavior, but to prevent further damage before it gets worse.
