New house, new yard, new neighborhood, soon to be a massive garden. In my

First, check the animal control regs so you'll know how far
officialdom will go to support you. In fact, some exerpts from the
municiple code could be on your sign.

I doubt that 'no dogs, ever, under any circumstances' would be viewed
as reasonable.
