If it works you can consider long term solutions like shrubs or fence.
That has not been my experience and my property has been subject to the goose droppings for many years. They do not need to take off from my lawn.

After they get through eating the lawn (using what seems like a flow through system) they waddle down to the retaining wall on the lake and jump in. Obstacles on my property will have no influence on their visits. They can and do, walk in from my neighbors.
