Neigbour blames us dumping in his yard

Long story short our house burned down and we rebuilt it. We hired landscaping company and tree company to cut trees and took the everything out. Our property is in the forest and diagonal shape. When house finished we pay extra to survey company to put extra stick on the edge since its almost 2 acre and there are hills and a lot of trees. We also saw our electric fence is in their property for 4 years. I already called company to change the location.

Our neigbour  with someone else came from forest and (I little freak out) claimed we left old cut trees in his property. I told him ours taken out (including fireplace lugs) and ask his number so I can ask my husband and informed him. He told he won't give his number, dont want to deal with people. Same time accused me why we didn't call them for all the landscaping we done and if we didn't clean the mess, we're in trouble. I checked the area and they're very old trees stack on each other. I'm not sure if one of the landscaper left them.

We still continue to landscaping and already talked my guy to clean the trees so there won't be any hard feeling. But my husband wasn't here and since he was kinda agrassive I didn't go to their home or informed him.

Now he put no trepassing sign and huge no dumping sign. I never told him no or something bad. I don't know, if my landscaper go to their side to clean the trees will be problem after he put like 20 no trepassing sign. I already spent thousands dollar, a hundred dollar will clean the trees. What should we do? We're totally respectful to his yard which is I found out 25 acre, we even couldn't see their house and didnt know about them.

Ignore your neighbour and stay off of his property. Some people are basically A holes, common in rural areas, and you must simply avoid them. Nothing you do will ever make them happy and trying will only give them more reason to complain

I would place no trespass signs on your property opposite every one he has placed, but that's just me. I derive humour from irritating A holes. Probably not a good idea in your case since you seem concerned about what your neighbour thinks.
