Hi everyone,
I just got home and I am shocked...
The neighbors had to retain about 60cm (24 inches) in height and now they have installed curbstones right on the property line.
Strangely, the entire concrete retaining wall is actually on our property!
Oh, and our green manure cover crop has been completely trampled, and our small garden bed has been concreted over.
What can I do?

Tomorrow I would confront the landscaper and ask whether he’s blind and what his plans are to fix this.Edit: If the curbs absolutely have to be placed on the property line, there are also L-shaped retaining blocks. Yes, even in small sizes. That way, you avoid needing extra back support.

They started with L-shaped concrete blocks and then continued with the curbstones.They are cheaper, after all. If you really want to save 5–10cm (2–4 inches), you either need friendly neighbors or you keep using L-shaped blocks and skip the support. What is supposed to go there anyway? Is that a driveway?
I have just spoken with him, and he will inform the landscape gardener tomorrow that I am dissatisfied with this.
Where they started with the L-shaped retaining walls, the height even reaches 72cm (28 inches), which is 12cm (5 inches) more than permitted.
This concerns their north side; a garden shed will still be placed at our property line there.
(There are still 1-2 hours when our garden is not shaded, so that needs to be changed.)
