Jez OP i wish that was the case where i am
Most neighbours maintain their gardens well, except my immediate neighbour, its a rented property where the landlords do not care, its visibly needed new windows for years and round the back is a conservatory built right up to my property boundary thats so rotten you can put your finger in parts like its Polystyrene
The couple who live their are nice enough, but he as his hobby does up cars, so theres several bottles of cleaning product just left in the over grown front lawn, they get picked up to cut the lawn and literally put back down (i guess storing them inside is too much). In the back theirs a rusting old roof rack from a 4x4, a rabbit hutch thats rotten (apparently no rabbits for a decade), some rusting floor plates from a 4x4 and their dog shits everywhere (this is never picked up, just mown through)
Would i like it to look more well kept? hell yeah! do i care enough to complain? nope because i'm smart enough to realise that i live next door, if we fall out they could purposefully get worse.
So i recommend you do what i do, install a higher fence, grow a hedge line and don't sit by the window like Alfred Hitchcock Rear Window (or Bart of Darkness if you get either reference)
