Deep burnout ''trenches'' are among the scars on new Fairfield landscaping.
Saddle Hill Community Board deputy chairwoman Pam Jemmett was ''disappointed'' with the damage.
The white decorative stone in the landscaping had been scattered across a footpath in Main Rd and ''gouged out'' tracks of soil had been exposed.
She believed a nearby drain had overflowed and the water had moved stones but most of the damage was caused by vehicles driven on the stone.
In the landscaped area were ''trenches'' of exposed soil - a car width apart - indicating someone had spun the wheels of a vehicle on the landscaping.
''It looks like someone has been doing wheelies on it ... It's very disappointing. Hopefully it is not the start of something.''
The landscaping needed to be repaired and she had contacted the Dunedin City Council to complete the work.
People had parked cars on the decorative stone, which was never the intention.
The final part of the Fairfield beautification project had cost more than $10,000, she said.
Mrs Jemmett said contractors had been arranged to install edging around the plots to avoid more displacement.
When the Taieri Times called the council on Thursday, the paper was told there had been no complaints received about people parking on the landscaping and, therefore, no action had been taken.
