Its your neighbor just taking care of his house...not exactly a stranger walking on your proprty.

Amazes me all the time what people here worry about!!
I agree, but I still don't enter without knocking on the door. now if there not home I enter, but not after they letting me know it ok it there not home.

As for as shrub touch house, they can't, that side of house is not there property. Nothing can be touching or planted in the foot or two area close to the house that will damage adjacent property. Just like I can't plant shrub out my door across the sidewalk that touches his house. I maintain 1 foot clearance or more to remove wind blowing and any doubt.

I think the op has valid complaint, the neighbor IMO should not just barge in, after all you are entering his property.
