It's not covered in wood chip (and cat shit), is it?

Get a cat.

A dog/dog hair?
Do you have small gravel/shingle?

Get a cat. Your own cats don't tend to shit in their own turf therefore, once it's claimed its territory, you'd be fine.
Failing that, I have heard chilli powers of sorts would work, but being a cat lover, please can I ask you to lay things down won't actually harm them, as I am sure there are chemicals or whatnot can be used etc etc.

It's a tough one. We mostly solved the problem in the back garden by plugging holes in fences and putting netting over the side gate. I think they mostly just pass us by now. As for the front garden, well we put bark chippings down on part of it and I don't think that made any real difference although you can at least usually see where they've been digging.
We tend to sprinkle used coffee grounds around, mainly as a theorised slug deterrent although it may also put the cats off but really the best way seems to just have no exposed loose soil or material anywhere. That way they don't have anything to scratch around in. Also I tear out of the house and chase them away at every opportunity.
You can put spiky things in (not spiky to hurt, just short sticks) so that it's not a comfortable place to squat down and it's difficult to scratch around but it doesn't exactly look great.

anyone know how to get rid of cats shitting all over my front garden? at first it was quite funny that they decided to take an interest but now it's getting very tiresome. it's now at the point where the smell wafts into the living room through the front window when its open! i've tried the repellent powder stuff and also orange peel but this isn't deterring them. any other ideas? the smell is awful.
