Depends on your neighbours. I asked mine , ( ex ones now) very very
nicely to stop the kids using my front rockery as a slide . The response
was
the kids slashed all four of my car tyres on my drive.

I moved out. needless to say that I suppose.

Afterthought - the neighbour concerned were themselves very garden
proud ( and houseproud for that matter).

Yes, we've got a family (thankfully 3 doors down) who are very
houseproud but who are very successfully raising yobs.
