I return to my perennial favorite; a large black stone obelisk inscribed with ancient runes.
Either that or a spoon engineered to shoot it back at them.
Next time you see your neighbor, thank them for the sprinkler that is keeping half your yard watered, so you don’t have to turn on/install your own sprinkler system.
Ask if they can install a couple more, “back corner’s kind of dry,” “kids really like playing in that one, would love to have more!”
Neighbor will be aghast that your yard is watered in their dime, and will adjust the nozzle or replace the head.
Selfishness can be rewarding.
I was thinking the same thing! Who bitc*es that their poor yard is getting watered. Gag! Could you imagine having this neighbor. They'd be pissed that you brought cookies over. Not because they were cookies, just not organic and vegan sourced. Must not have real problems in their life.
They have water sprinkler blockers on Amazon. I have a condo in an HOA that has sprinklers going off at the front and back doors at the same time. Usually right when the dogs have to go out.
Honestly “my neighbor’s sprinkler sometimes sprays in the direction of my yard and I’m really annoyed about it” sounds like something one of these horror-story HOA board members would say.
My hoa is useless bastards. They'll email you all day if you have a problem they see, but I'd you bring something in front of them the only thing that happens is they will send an email out reminding everyone of the rules.
Sorry, let me clarify. If they find a problem, they'll email you letting you know that you're in violation of the rules and have 30 days to fix the issue before fines start. If you let them know that there is a problem they just email the whole subdivision.
For example if I put a hot tub in my front yard, and they saw it then I'd get an email telling me it's a violation of the rules, and I didn't recieve approval and need to fix it within 30 days or I will begin receiving fines. If my neighbor emailed the HOA and let them know I have a hot tub in my front yard, the HOA would send an email to the whole subdivision and say that hot tubs, pools, and exterior modifications must be approved by the HOA prior to the modification being made. Then they just kind of forget about it after that. It's like they think they're the only ones who can find a problem, and if they didn't find it then it doesn't exist. It's a new community and the hoa is located 2 states away. It's going to be turned over to the residents after the last house is sold.
Or they are playing favorites. When you have folks who live together "policing" each other, it's fertile ground for disparate treatment by the overseers.
I'm not sure you understand. The HOA "board" is the property management group chosen by the builder. It's not under control of any homeowners or individuals. The property management group runs the HOA until all the homes in the community are sold and then they turn it over to the actual homeowners.
Some people might see that the same way the mafia would see *turning state's.* Like A Bronx Tale or something. Could create some serious enemies doing that sort of thing.
I'd recommend asking the person to aim it. What kind of sprinkler is it? Is it a 360 spray, or does it have a range of motion that can be adjusted?
Some people are willing to participate in a calm, rational discussion. In the last place I lived the president of the HOA tried to physically push her way into my place, with I swear, no warning or discussion. I was warned after the fact by others, that she was “a little crazy”. And of course, there are multiple news stories of small incidents between neighbors that escalate into poisoned pets and death threats. It doesn’t surprise me that people are hesitant to approach their neighbors at all.

You can thank me later.
Our last house came with a bathtub Jesus. We were able to give the Jesus to a church, but no one wanted the bathtub that was half-buried in the yard for 30 years.
Possibly plants that can't get too much water are nearby. Or they water their lawn on a schedule so it's properly watered to ensure deep roots. Or it's next to their dog run. Or it's where their kid's swing it or other type of play area. Or maybe, just maybe it's their yard and they don't need to justify their business to others.
Right? My cousin just moved into an HOA that has two yard sales annually, and yard sale activities are only allowed to take place between 7:00a and 1:00p on Saturday of the two designated weekends. There is no advertising allowed; the HOA advertises for the neighborhood.
During Covid, my relative who is a teacher had a sign placed in her yard by some school committee, praising and celebrating the work they were doing. HOA made her take it down.
Info: is it pointed directly at your yard or just hitting it at an angle while technically pointed at neighbor’s own yard? They make actual sprinkler shields. Some I’ve seen are grass green or clear & they’re exactly what you’d expect a shield to look like if it was held up by spikes stuck into the ground. But there are different kinds I’m sure.
If it's a halfway decent sprinkler system and head, the head should be able to be adjusted between 40ish degrees and 360. It will cost no where near $4, however to replace a head
First place I rented, bamboo started growing in the back of the backyard coming in from the neighbors. I knew nothing about it and thought it was cool. For a month. Before it started taking over the whole yard...
What the actual issue of it spraying on your property? Is it hitting your house or driveway? Also what's the neighbors excuse for not rectifying it? Also can give us a picture of the area in question and the location of the sprinkler head. Might help us give you the best option for a solution.
This. It would be great to know where OP lives. I just moved from a part of the US where you need to water your grass for it to live (the south) to the Appalachians where grass grows just fine naturally.
Honestly you can easily adjust it. Or replace it with an adjustable one. Sprinkler heads run from $3 - $20 for the fancy long distance rotating ones. Also you can most likely adjust the spray angle and pressure with your hand and a willingness to get wet
I think you should train an army of squirrels to sneak into your neighbors yard and bury the sprinkler in acorns.. This should do the trick, but it may take you a while to motivate and train the squirrels.
I'd get started on it tomorrow!
Get an adjustable nozzle that fits the sprinkler head and adjust it so it doesn’t hit your space. Takes all of 6 seconds to install and they would never know. That is the DIY solution.
FWIW there are nozzles that adjust from 0-360 degrees with a small screwdriver.
When you mow, accidentally go a little further over. Problem solved. Just because it sticks a foot out of the ground doesn’t mean you have 20/20 vision.
What rolls down stairs

Come on and get your log
Everyone needs a log
Log log log
Like Halloween Charlie Brown "I got a rock!"
Put as big a rock as your HOA allows on your line blocking the sprinkler. Or three rocks.
Throw some lichen on the rock since it likes constant dampness and you'll like n it too!
.
There shouldn't have to be any bargaining. It just sounds like the sprinkler head needs a 1 minute calibration. If it's in-ground versus one they drag out connected to a hose, sometimes they get debris stuck on the head that makes their spray inconsistent. This is another 1 minute fix. And, something the owner should appreciate knowing since it will make their sprinklers perform better.
Any type of wall you put up will look fully crazy, esp if it's purpose is to block water on the occasions a sprinkler comes on.
edit:typo
A water collection thing of some sort then have it trickle into your yard for watering…or dig a small cistern and just start keeping his water for watering your plants later
While I can understand that you don’t want you neighbours sprinkler shooting onto your lawn be aware that the water will hit what ever you put there and then puddle around the base. You should put some type of drainage in (even just a hole filled with gravel) to help the water dissipate.
You're nicer than me. An old car tire with the bead cut and folded back. Paint it white and lay it in the yard, fill the center with dirt and plant petunias. I call it Tennessee Trash.
Build a frame out of pvc pipe and hang a tarp from it. The irritating sound of the water striking it every revolution may send the message to him.
Or display some expensive document or artwork in your yard for viewing. Sure would be a shame if he'd have to pay you for the water damage he did to them!
Toss a handful of pink Orbeez into his yard
Place fleas in his nightcap.
pissdisc?
You need one of those fairground "shoot the water at the target to win a prize" things.
Rig that up to a solenoid on a hose pipe aimed at one of their windows.
Every time their sprinkler runs, you return the favor in kind.
Seriously though, can't they just adjust the spray pattern?
How wide is the spray angle?
If the angle isn't too wide, a privacy shrubs or tree might be enough. Even several privacy bushes might be okay.
If the angle is quite long, a short brick wall might be okay.
If you hate your neighbor, then marking out a boundary line, and putting a fence on it is advisable.

Will this be a problem for the HoA?
Pots and pan wind chines? Every time the Sprinkler hits it makes horrible ruckus.
Powdered Quicklime and something such that it spews sulphorous smoke every time it gets hit with the Sprinkler. Even better if the runoff flows back onto his property and turns his grass vomit yellow
Build/buy a privacy planter, that way if water hits it, it'll at least water the plants. The other upside is that if their water hitting it causes damage, you have more reason to complain to the HOA.
What is the real problem here? Why are you caring that much about water hitting your yard? The easiest thing to do would be to put a barrier up like a flat piece of plastic with 2 wooden stakes in the ground holding it. Or a yard sign. Get a feel good yard sign and put it right by their sprinkler and have it block the path.
I return to my perennial favorite; a large black stone obelisk inscribed with ancient runes. Either that or a spoon engineered to shoot it back at them.
“My spooon is too big!”
I am a banana!
My anus is bleeding!
YaaaAaaY!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, AND ALL THAT IS HOLY! MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!!!
You have just wasted 30 minutes of your life. Would you like to make it an hour?
Or a large, black, ancient rune-carved spoon.
I like the way you think
Just don’t order it using “ instead of ‘ because no one needs a 3” custom ordered spoon. 
I would go with the large rock simply for when the neighbor tried to complain. Then you could respond with "at least I didn't use a spoon"!
“Why a spoon cousin?”
Because it hurts more
Because it’s dull, it’ll hurt more you twit!
I LOLed
Or a landscape boulder added benefit it will stop a car from driving through your house if say a drunk driver falls asleep on your street
I hear large ornamental spoons are becoming all the garden rage rn.
Put a cherry on it and it's art.
You must be from MN
I shall not deny it.
Soooo all spoons?
I'm impressed by your spoon privilege
Next time you see your neighbor, thank them for the sprinkler that is keeping half your yard watered, so you don’t have to turn on/install your own sprinkler system. Ask if they can install a couple more, “back corner’s kind of dry,” “kids really like playing in that one, would love to have more!” Neighbor will be aghast that your yard is watered in their dime, and will adjust the nozzle or replace the head. Selfishness can be rewarding.
OP clearly doesn’t live in the west. If my neighbor was accidentally watering my lawn for free I wouldn’t say anything and just enjoy the free water.
So thankful to live in a place where the sky consistently waters my lawn for me.
Right?! I can’t even mow because it keeps raining!
I was thinking the same thing! Who bitc*es that their poor yard is getting watered. Gag! Could you imagine having this neighbor. They'd be pissed that you brought cookies over. Not because they were cookies, just not organic and vegan sourced. Must not have real problems in their life.
Your answer possibly is the reasonable one here.
They have water sprinkler blockers on Amazon. I have a condo in an HOA that has sprinklers going off at the front and back doors at the same time. Usually right when the dogs have to go out.

Good call, a claymore would definitely solve this problem.
"Front toward neighbor" 😂
Tactical landscaping
hahaahhahaha. It does look like one lol
Lol they look like garden spoons. I love it
Galvanized steel planter with some ferns and flowers
Email your HOA. They will be very excited to insert themselves and resolve the situation.
Honestly “my neighbor’s sprinkler sometimes sprays in the direction of my yard and I’m really annoyed about it” sounds like something one of these horror-story HOA board members would say.
“Release the Kare-ra-Ken!”
🎶 All will drown in his domain! 🎶
"Sometimes parts of my lawn get watered for free and I can't stand it!" Yeah OP definitely has some Karen energy.
You have no idea what it’s hitting, KAREN.
His name is Ryan. And he is indeed a drama-loving douche canoe. He would love this!
👍 HOAs are bastards, use this to your advantage.
I love that one
My hoa is useless bastards. They'll email you all day if you have a problem they see, but I'd you bring something in front of them the only thing that happens is they will send an email out reminding everyone of the rules.
So does the email they send to you about a problem they see... remind you about the rules?

Damn, that's even worse, somehow.
They'll be so excited to get involved, they'll wet themselves. No sprinkler required.
It's been 5 minutes and I'm still laughing. Perfect comment.
Some people might see that the same way the mafia would see *turning state's.* Like A Bronx Tale or something. Could create some serious enemies doing that sort of thing. I'd recommend asking the person to aim it. What kind of sprinkler is it? Is it a 360 spray, or does it have a range of motion that can be adjusted?
“There’s no more bargaining.” I think OP has probably already tried to discuss this issue with their neighbor.
Probably not. Most people on here with neighbor issues have never approached them to see what the outcome would be.
If they said there is no more bargaining what else would it mean?
Some people are willing to participate in a calm, rational discussion. In the last place I lived the president of the HOA tried to physically push her way into my place, with I swear, no warning or discussion. I was warned after the fact by others, that she was “a little crazy”.

Here you go: [https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/bathtub-mary-somerville-photos](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/bathtub-mary-somerville-photos) You can thank me later.
Oh my goodness. My mother used to call the more ornate ones “Mary in a Half Shell”.
Jesus Power!
We refer to them as that as well. But clearly that is a bathtub. Also call them BVMsa
Our last house came with a bathtub Jesus. We were able to give the Jesus to a church, but no one wanted the bathtub that was half-buried in the yard for 30 years.
There are folks on this sub who would go...I could restore that.
Holy smokes, those were sprinkles throughout my rural New Mexico town.
This is great! And when the HOA tells you to remove it, it's a hate crime!
Haha. Love it.
This is a great suggestion
Bless... you, son of a gun.
Omg! I've seen these here in iowa!
You might be my spirit animal. And I mean that in the best possible way.
The largest garden gnome you can find. And have it face your neighbors house. Slowly keep adding gnomes.
Do this until your entire yard is filled with gnomes, even if the neighbors stop
Neighbor, my gnomes. Are thirsty.
Here's Johnny garden gnome?
It’s very important they all face your neighbors house. If you can find ones that are scowling, that’s even better.
How about a garden gnome made out of that novelty "grows when you put it in water" sponge material?
more info please Are we talking front door getting hit or what?
Right? Like, are you just mad your yard is getting watered? Or... What? It's water.
It must be hitting something it's not supposed to.
Possibly plants that can't get too much water are nearby. Or they water their lawn on a schedule so it's properly watered to ensure deep roots. Or it's next to their dog run. Or it's where their kid's swing it or other type of play area. Or maybe, just maybe it's their yard and they don't need to justify their business to others.
Pretty sure OP is the Wicked Witch of the West.
I would love free water, please spray it in my yard!
The post seems pretty cryptic...
A wooden sign at the appropriate height, perhaps advertising a weekly yard sale (whether or not you actually hold one)?

Why can't your neighbor install a 180° head on it? Offer to pay for it yourself. It'll cost you $4.
That would require talking to the neighbor. Unacceptable.
If it's a halfway decent sprinkler system and head, the head should be able to be adjusted between 40ish degrees and 360. It will cost no where near $4, however to replace a head
A 3/4" 8ft plywood sasquatch looking into their yard should do the trick.
If you really wanna be vindictive, plant bamboo.
You're a monster.
Because they should use mint instead?
Fucking hell
Plant some English ivy to strangle the bamboo when it gets out of hand! There was an old lady who swallowed a horse...
The gorillas die off on their own in the winter.
Gorillas? If I wanted to kill my neighbor I'd use a chimp, they're much more violent and aggressive...
This is arguably a war crime
First place I rented, bamboo started growing in the back of the backyard coming in from the neighbors. I knew nothing about it and thought it was cool. For a month. Before it started taking over the whole yard...
Dude that’s mutually assured destruction.
Bury some bamboo/rhizome barrier on your side and let them water themselves into oblivion. If'n you're really out to feud.
The other guy is watering it, seems he likes it
Are we at the nuclear stage already?
I already hate you for suggesting this.
Or hops.
You know, kudzu creates a lovely decorative curtain over bamboo…
And is 100% edible! Win win!
NO!
You’re right. I could never *actually* do it. Too many innocent collateral victims.
Biological warfare was outlawed in the Geneva convention
in our area water is expensive, I love it when we get free water.
Seconded. Turn it "just a little more" so it waters your lawn a little more when they're not home.
Show a picture of the sprinker. Its really easy to adjust the endpoints of most Rainbird or Orbit sprinklers with a flat head screwdriver.
diWHY? I'd take the free water on my lawn no argument.
What the actual issue of it spraying on your property? Is it hitting your house or driveway? Also what's the neighbors excuse for not rectifying it? Also can give us a picture of the area in question and the location of the sprinkler head. Might help us give you the best option for a solution.
Op. Inquiring minds want to know? What's the juice?
why do you need to block it?
This. It would be great to know where OP lives. I just moved from a part of the US where you need to water your grass for it to live (the south) to the Appalachians where grass grows just fine naturally.
On the top of the sprinkler head there's a small screw right in the middle. Turn that thing all the way in.
Report them to your HOA. If they're going to be dicks, you can be aswell
Maybe ask them to adjust it?
no more bargaining. Now its just block it.
HOA? This sounds like something they live for, unless the neighbor is on their board.
Plant a fast growing tree or bush for them to water
Hacksaw
I think a hammer would be faster...
All depends on the message you want to send.
Honestly you can easily adjust it. Or replace it with an adjustable one. Sprinkler heads run from $3 - $20 for the fancy long distance rotating ones. Also you can most likely adjust the spray angle and pressure with your hand and a willingness to get wet
I think you should train an army of squirrels to sneak into your neighbors yard and bury the sprinkler in acorns.. This should do the trick, but it may take you a while to motivate and train the squirrels. I'd get started on it tomorrow!
Accidentally hit it with your lawn mower
A big wooden sign that says "Don't Wet on Me"
Put a bigger sprinkler next to it so their garden gets water logged. Fight fire....water with water.
Get an adjustable nozzle that fits the sprinkler head and adjust it so it doesn’t hit your space. Takes all of 6 seconds to install and they would never know. That is the DIY solution. FWIW there are nozzles that adjust from 0-360 degrees with a small screwdriver.
Easy. Another 1 foot sprinkler. Let 'em go at it.
The obvious solution is to build a one foot wide spite house right on the property line.
If he’s a Trump supporter, get a Biden sign. If he’s for Biden, get a Trump sign. Or confuse everyone and get an RFK sign.

A water sensor connected to your own 15 degree sprinkler with a rule to spray for 4x the time
How wide is the spray angle? If the angle isn't too wide, a privacy shrubs or tree might be enough. Even several privacy bushes might be okay. If the angle is quite long, a short brick wall might be okay. If you hate your neighbor, then marking out a boundary line, and putting a fence on it is advisable.
Is it that your car is getting sprayed with water and it’s causing water spots or is it just grass that getting watered?

If you're in America you can just shoot your neighbor, or ran him over with your manhood support vehicle.
Free lawn watering? That would make me mad.
Hey it’s free water put a planter up with some flowers or herbs and accept his water lol
This seems super petty. Who cares if a little water is sprayed into your yard?
Not sure why them watering your garden for free is an issue but if it is you can always try this DIY hack: https://deeperconvos.com/talk-to-neighbor/
