Your cat has to pee somewhere! Do you use cat litter? Quite straightforward to train a cat to use this, and if it's changed regularly there need be no smell.

ah yes but i meant without the hassle and expense of cat litter. we have used cat litter from when they were kittens but gets a bit expensive when you're on a budget
Train it to pee on your neighbour's lawn instead. Seriously, there are deterrents you can get to stop cats going to places you don't want them to, but they don't always work, especially when the cat lives in the relevant house! I suspect you'll be faced with a choice of either cat pee where you don't want it, or the expense of cat litter.
Homer is right - cats are territorial animals and use urine as a means of marking territory borders. Youmay have to accept that your cat is marking its own area, and live with it. Speaking as a cat-lover, but without cats, the local cats find my gravel irrisistable, and three or four of them compete with faeces to claim it as their own. If I thought my neighbours were discouraging their pets' use of their own garden as a toilet, I would not be impressed - dealing with by-products is the downside of owning a pet, and it shouldn't be foisted onto your neighbours.
get rid of you lawn!
Homebase do a selection of deterants ranging in power, although the really stron stuff may scare your cat away completely.
