This person did this twice and one day. I see my garbage cans are wonky but that’s because it’s trash day. I was at work and WM LITERALLY just throws them on the ground. Anyways I’m a first time home owner and am not sure how I can fix this. People drive on my grass all the time since I’m at the end.

Boulders!
Id definitely be taking this to the police
Around the world a solid brick wall around your yard is the norm. Why don’t americans do this, are you people poor? On a serious note, a tree and some dense bushes might do the trick. Or a picket fence, Any type of obstacle really, like boulders as someone else suggested. Alternatively put on a sign that says “Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again”.
If nothing else, does one of your neighbors have an extra car they might want to park there while you figure out the appropriate obstacle plan. What a jerk. Twice in one day?! Super jerk!
Line that area with nails, wait for them to get a flat, grab a magnet and clean nails up. Fuck those people.
A dozen rocks about the size of a basketball will do the trick. Place at the edge of the grass. My Gramps had the same issue, people cutting the corner on his lot. A few decent sized rocks worked wonders

The angel on my shoulder says boulders. The devil on my shoulder says caltrop tashibishis. Throw them down. No matter how they land, there’s always a sharp side pointing up. 😈
I know the feeling I use to live at the end of shared driveway everyone mistook as a street. My driveway was the only way anyone could turn around.
Large stones!
😭🤣😆 Dump him Sis
Does this happen often?
Maybe motion detector sprinkler.
Boulders
As a quick visual deterrent, maybe a nice sign that says “Keep of Lawn” with another that says “Smile! You’re on camera!” And a few that say NO TRESPASSING!
Plant something more than some dead grass so people might actually care. Some native flowers and bushes. Perhaps a cherry tree
a long bit of green painted rebar sticking a foot out of the ground if you really wanna be the devil.
Be mindful of where your watermain is. Said differently had a similar situation, guess what main water pipe broke from being driven on.
Some big ass boulders
Don’t leave dumpsters in your driveway, dipshit
Lmfao
(insert trump meme here)
Install something conspicuous which the reasonable man would recognize as a terrible idea to drive through. Nails, rebar, nasty hidden surprises, etc could be grounds for legal action. Even if you win the lawsuit, you already lost because it ate up a bunch of your time and positive energy.
Pillars, split rail fence, a row of bushy shrubs, an attractive masonry wall, all valid here. It boils down to what you can afford and what constitutes a beautiful environment in your mind. Keep in mind certain municipalities have rules about how close you can place certain fixtures to public thorofares or property boundaries (line of setback requirements)
Have you tried moving the garbage cans?
Landmines are effective
Yh, driving on grass is totally unacceptable, that person is an idiot.. but why not move the garbage cans and let people use your drive to turn around? This option is a bit annoying, but it’s the case for all people who live at the end of a road. As for the grass, I’d vote for flowers, no one will drive over flowers!
Maybe set up a game cam to get the license plates. My neighbor had this problem. She put in a split rail fence. Another neighbor has very large boulders.
Giant pit covered by AstroTurf.
Put up a cardboard cutout of AL from Married with Children holding a hose.
Giant rocks larger than a small boulder. 3 of them.
