It can be really annoying - I have children on both sides of me and numerous toys (not just balls) would land in my garden on a regular basis. I suggest getting a dog! I now have three (large) dogs - one of whom really loves balls so anything landing in my garden has usually been found within minutes - which usually results in his teeth going through said ball very quickly! Its amazing how quickly the balls stop coming into your garden when they get back a ball which has been chewed ...

My cat would go ballistic, he doesn't like pets.

You know what, if they were pleasant, I probably wouldn't have a problem about the balls. Its just that they are rude too.
But they come back so quick, I do wonder if the kids deliberatily

Ahh so you don't really have a problem with the balls then:D Sadly, we don't get to pich our neighbours and it's all abit random. But take comfort there was a man on another board who had to put with drumming from a neighbour for 4 and Half hours a day...

....so really it's just a few balls and some dirt. It's not all night parties is it?

Kinda, its an inconvience, if they were nice I would be happy to throw them back.

BUT because they are rude & couldn't even be bothered to tell me that the work they were having done on their roof was going to be in my patio & the brickwork at the side & back of my house & my windows & cils & the fence (mine) & everything was going to be covered in it. Because of this I don't feel very happy about constantly putting myself out for them.

It's not an unreasonable attitude to take. In any other environment, you'd be happy doing a favour for a friend, but you're not really going to for a person who isn't even pleasant to you or acknowledges you or is going to appreciate the favour.

Maybe you could try having a friendly word with the kids, maybe over the fence. Just to ask them to try and be a bit more careful. If you do with a pleasant demeanor then the parents should have no objection to that.

I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, I don't know them at all & what I do know of them they seem funny.

Anyway, fence is 2 meters high:rotfl:

Get a trampoline and jump. You'd have to give out sentences in quick bursts though. :rotfl:
