What I often do is, cut 3-wide tunnels through the soil layer from the trade depot to about 20 tiles from the edges of the map, then build a single 3x3 paved road at each exit (to ensure a tree doesn't grow and block that entry point).  The caravans will often use one of these tunnels because the straight line is faster than wriggling through the trees. This method would avoid the wealth increase from long surface roads and the need to mow the lawn occasionally.

I do this but also dig a two-tile-deep channel around the entrance. That way, it becomes flat-out impossible for the caravans to arrive from somewhere else.

It knows where the dorfs went last summer...

Maybe it does, but unlike last summer, this time my dwarfs have steel armor and weapons.
