This reminds me of our neighbor. We just moved in this house for a week when 3 guys came knocking on the gate. They wanted to clean our coconut tree that is planted near the firewall that separates our property from the neighbor's. The guys said our neighbor asked them to come to us and offer their services. Out of disgust, my husband paid those guys to cut down the tree. It may just be a cause of problem with the picky neighbor.
