If it was an elderly couple next store I would have been more than willing to help them do the work they weren't capable of. I used my truck to help the new neighbors pull out the overgrown mess that was there. Two adults, younger than us and two teenagers and no one has time to cut the grass?
Sorry, everybody has their priorities but when you move into a sub you should be willing to try and maintain your property in a fashion similar to the surrounding homes. One dump can ruin the looks and resale value of the other homes. If yard work is not your thing, fine, live some where where it's not expected. The people across the street sit on the front lawn pulling weeds by hand. I'm not that fanatical, if the fertilizer/weed killer doesn't take care of it, oh well, at least the weeds we have aren't 6" tall.

Hank ... I have only lived in different subdivisions since 1954 but I am sure there is something about the yellow body with white trim that I have painted all my homes that pisses someone, somewhere off .... I am just saying it is not healthy to lose sleep over insignifcant matters.
Now if your neighbor was mean, violent, or dangerous then it would be a different issue, would it not?
