You don't have to go into any yards to find the cache and because this is a resedential street, I would not recommend night caching.
I think this idea is pretty rare, but please mention in your log if you've ever seen another one like it.
I recommend taking the cache to your car because putting the log back is a little tricky. First roll it as tightly as you can and then spin it in the same direction as it's rolled while pushing it into the cache.
BYOP and happy hunting!
