How to deal with a problem neighbor

First post for me here on BP. Thanks to everyone on the site, I have learned a lot. I am a fix and flipper and have a home that I am rehabbing in a nice neighborhood. The home is going to turn out very nice but I believe the next door neighbor is going to cost me a lot of money on this deal because of his yard and the twenty (a real number) kids that play at his house and the house I am rehabbing. He is a hot head and won't be told that he has to stay off our property. Have tried being nice and tried building rapport with him but the kids continue to play at the house and leave their toys, bikes, balls, and everything else in the yard. Have told them it is not safe to play here because of all the work going on. I am afraid that when we list it for sale, that whoever comes to view the home will experience the community playground at my house and will not buy it. Any suggestions on how to deal with this situation? Thanks again for all who post on here and hope to pay it forward someday.

When the house is done being rehabbed, add the tallest, solid fence in that rules will allow. Fences aren't to expensive and trust me, buyers will love it.
