We returned home today from a couple of days away to find that the
neighbours whose property runs across the bottom of our garden had
kindly tidied up the bottom of our garden.

How dare they !!!!!!!!
You must be a saint to have responded as you did!

I would ask them for compensation money and go out and buy new
hedgerow shrubs etc and re-plant !

Exactly... they should put right the damage done. Failing that, how about
117 tons of pea gravel, raked nice and flat in swirly patterns and a 42 ton
rough linestone boulder dropped in the middle of their garden. If they like
an ordered landscape then Japenese might suit.

Pass them a rake with a little bow and a "I helped you with your garden,
wazzock-san."

If you took their view on neighbourly "helping out" in the garden you could
rotovate their lawn and turn it over to spuds while they were at work, Or
flood it and stick some gunnera and flag iris in the muddiest bits
overnight.

At the very leat get them to pay for replacement Hawthorne....
