This guy somehow got into our yard. Sadly, it's likely he'd been poisoned as he was roaming aimlessly and died within a couple of days. Note that skunks are diggers and will get into your yard by going under a fence. We've managed to harden things up, removing gaps below fences, and they are no longer seen in our yard.

These are frequent visitors to our yard. Fortunately, they don't seem to cause much problem. Just make sure you don't have a porch or some area where they can breed in your yard.

We have had some problems with cats using the beds as a litter box. Fortunately, they're usually careful in not actually upsetting the plants when they dig.

These spike things do an okay job of keeping them out. However, as you can see there are still plenty of spots the cats could get to. This hasn't been a big problem over the last coupe of years so I haven't even used these of late.
