Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I bought a house and the neighbor behind me has a gate that opens to my land. I told him not to come onto my property and he was seen coming over to my property cutting some limbs off my tree so he can see through my trees, my question is can I secure the gate so he can not enter my property?
