It is trespassing. The property around your home is "unenclosed curtilage"...
810.09 Trespass on property other than structure or conveyance.—
(1)(a) A person who, without being authorized, licensed, or invited, willfully enters upon or remains in any property other than a structure or conveyance:
1. As to which notice against entering or remaining is given, either by actual communication to the offender or by posting, fencing, or cultivation as described in s. 810.011; or
2. If the property is the unenclosed curtilage of a dwelling and the offender enters or remains with the intent to commit an offense thereon, other than the offense of trespass,commits the offense of trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance.
Also...did you know that if your dog bites someone you are liable UNLESS you have a sign saying "BAD DOG"...so with all the construction and strangers milling around my street, I do have a sign in the window saying private property no trespassing BAD DOG.
I'm sure there are rules against posting signs, however, this one is required by law for the protection of the public and the homeowner.
