My neighbors (the past 3 renters) LOVES to cross the property line and scalp my yard (my meticulously cut green lush pride and joy).

I get advised to "just go talk to them", but I'd rather get bright orange grass paint and spray the line to send a visual warning.

My mars is in Scorpio 3rd house
Where's your mars and how would you handle it?

You feel strongly towards it because of all the effort.

So I would be pretty ****** off if I was you..
The first time I would say something politely because i don't want to seem unreasonable and disrespectful

but next time I would go into tunnel vision and make sure they would avoid messing my ish up again...

My mars is in aries in both 2nd and 3rd house.
I am pretty much an agressive type, bcz mars even if it is in domicile, has squares, and the most important to the asc. Happily I have some other things that soften the harshness of my mars, otherwise I'd be a drill seargent in the army. {And is not even a bad idea:D}

I try to not hurt the people I love, but sometimes I don't succed in doing so. I come as blunt, nervous and courageous. I really fight a lot with cancer mars (a male with this aspect was really agressive and a bully with me) and also with gemini -even more,our fghts are horrible, and libra..
I enjoy a capricorn mars:x and I never ever fight with mars in sag ,mars in leo..I dunno ab the other mars signs

I have a quick temper, but I am fast to cool-off..bcz I am not into sports, my nervous energy could go into pretty agressive/dark/ poems I used to write..

The best is to find a healty outlet for your own sake.
and don;t get stomped on, bcz of your neighbour, you deserve your peace.
If you are being firm, but not agressive, to begin with and he doens;t stop it, than proceed with a different approach.
Be overly-assertive!

Its interesting that you are experiencing conflict with neighbors; seeing that your Mars is in Scorpio and the 3rd house. I wonder if you both are too involved in each other's lives?

Sometimes it is better to take action! You can at least try. Clear your thoughts. Find words that are not insulting, but emphasize your point. Think of those things as somebody would tell them back to you. Than you can go. Maybe they are not even aware of how much you treasure that. Telling them nicely can stop all this. And I don't mean sugar-coating, but they are your neighbourds, words hurt, you'd still want to talk to them right?
Be honest with yourself and with them. If they have common -sense, it will be solved. (If not - I can lend you an MP5 :D )

That's all I can think of.

It's a rental house and this is the 7th family in 5 years.
I don't even waste my time acknowledging there is a house there anymore (it's not a house that attracts good types of people)

The piece they are cutting is over 300' long so it's out of my budget to plant or fence down it.
Planting down it would have been my first go-to though

You can still give it a shot..what;s there to lose? Since they aren't really close.
But stil be polite and frank. The fence idea was also good but seems like it cannot be a possibility

scorp is private/ communication is private..hmm..I get it now

If it was by pure accident and they seemed like a reasonable person.. I would talk to them and ask them to stop - whatever was bothering me.

If they seemed unreasonable .. or "cray cray"... I would try to scare them to get what I want. Either I would scare *myself* or I would enlist the help of someone else who can scare them for me.

To give an example.. I had a neighbour (tenant) who was very loud and obnoxious. I threatened to tell her agent about her dog - and she panicked about that.
I love dogs and I have my own now.. but considering the circumstances I thought it was ok to threaten her.
There was no talking to her. I had exams.. and I wasn't able to study because of the constant noise and ongoing drama.

I try to avoid confrontation but if the person cross that invisible line there's no going back for me. If that see red there's no going back. All I can do is try to avoid being put in situations I'll get that mad. If I feel like I might I literally just leave out the door. I have a terrible temper. It's gotten me in trouble. But I don't get that angry often.

It would be even better if you could find a remote controlled snake toy.
OMG I would have so much fun with your neighbours!!!

And you could place a poster in front of their house saying: "Pet Lost - with a pic of a tarantula. Please call *insert no* if found. Do not approach - very poisonous"

:edit:

Here's two pretty realistic looking snakes:

I would probably just go up to them and politely say, "Hey, not to be a hard ass, but I work pretty hard on my lawn and it just bothers me that you scalp it. I'm not trying to start issues with you, but I don't want it to become an issue." If they didn't listen, I'd get a fence or spray paint the line. It all depends on the neighbor honestly. Do you know much of their personality? Are they rational or will they think you're out of your mind? My neighbors usually speak to me so I'd be on somewhat good enough terms with them to be able to bring it up mid-conversation without them taking offense.
