Default Traffic trampling on our Lawn

when i was a child growing up in alaska, the snow use to cover the lawns
and sidewalks to such a degree that folks wouldn't really know where one
ends and the other begins. This was especially true for folks who lived
on the corer of 2 streets. We had a neighbor who thought it would be a
good idea to put fairly large boulders on the edge of his property, thus
keeping folks from cutting across his lawn. This worked great in the
summer when you could see the rocks......not so great when buried under 5
feet of snow. Needless to say, folks had lots of complaints about him and
how his rocks messed up their cars when they ran into/over them in the
winter....

Our house is on the corner lot and around our fence/lawn is the drive
way in the back and on the side. We have noticed that the cars while
going on the driveway are invariably trampling on our lawn. We have
notified our builder and he said he couldn't do anything as it is not
under warranty (we just moved into our new home 2 months ago) but
suggested that he could put a boulder on the lawn for $75.

Is this kind of problem not really under warranty? Is his suggestion
good to follow? Otherwise what can we do ourselves (wise and cheaper)
about it?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
