I don't know if this would work for other people, and for non cat owners it might be too offputting, but in my garden I put out a tray of potting compost for my cats to use if they don't want to come into the house for the litter tray. It is easy scoop out the poo, and change occasionally and they leave the main garden alone, because the compost is much finer and 'more comfortable' than the garden soil.
