"Maybe just casually mentioning your plans for the driveway or doing some landscaping could naturally reset expectations without needing a full-on boundary talk."

Yeah, totally agree with this. I've found that casually dropping hints about upcoming projects—like mentioning you're planning to install some lighting or a gate—can gently set boundaries without making things weird. Worked for me before, anyway...

I've had something similar happen at my old place. Neighbors started using our driveway as a shortcut to their backyard—wasn't a huge deal at first, but it got awkward when we wanted privacy or had guests park there. Eventually, I casually mentioned we were thinking about planting some bushes and maybe putting in a fence for our dog. Didn't even have firm plans yet, but just the mention of it was enough to gently redirect their habits without an uncomfortable chat. Worked surprisingly well...
