In the last few years it seems the delivery drivers ( Amazon suspected) seem to have a fondness for tagging my retaining wall. OK so it's now time to replace it which I'm doing with retaining wall blocks. Assuming the blocks will stand up better they will still be vulnerable to MORON'S. Any suggestions on how to protect the new wall without putting posts up which won't be appealing to the eye?

Put some trees in planters in front. Besides running interference for your retaining wall, they'll add some green to your landscape.

Ring camera and file claims.
I wouldn’t do anything to try and prevent anything. Landscape your home as you want it to be. They will destroy whatever you install just the same.
They use a neighbors driveway like it’s a public roadway. Personally I couldn’t take the headlights shining in at night and would do some sort of motorized gate. They drive off the edge too. Luckily I have an unappealing driveway.
I want my fair share

So Far I like Dart4forte's idea 🎯💥🤣🤣🤣. I do have security cameras but one doesn't always notice it right away and the vehicle blocks the area so it's hard t o confirm which one did the damage. might try changing to a higher resolution camera. Also thought about trying some sort of alarm to warn the flipping idiots or signs that say no delivery vehicles beyond this point. Not too fond of that and not sure they'd pay any more attention to them than they do backing up 🤬. Any other ideas?

Game camera mounted under that overhang set to record video. Relatively cheap and easy. Make THEM pay for your future upgrades.
Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!
