We have a berm built up, which we made out of 6x6 lengths of wood. we dumped fresh soil ontop of the old, and then layed sod. (i shouldn't say we, except that i served cold drinks).

Watering is critical, and dont let people (kids) run all over it. outdoor cats (prefereably your own) seems to do the trick for the animal control - as Charl says. Your own cat also seems to scare neighbour cats away, so they don't poop on your grass...
