Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My neighbor continues trespass
My neighbor replaced her wooden fence & installed a masonry wall when she put in a swimming pool.Some 9 yrs later, I painted my side of this wall which sat unpainted, to improve the look on my side, & to further the enjoyment of my property.Again:a plain,grey masonry block wall.I painted it a soft green which blended with the landscaping.She felt I had no right to paint my side as she paid for the wall.In order to paint over what I had done:only because she said I had no right,she had to trespass onto my property!She was ejected from my property 5xby the police each time she/worker came onto my lot to paint over my side of the wall.It was my understanding I have the right to paint my side of the wall:&she knows she is trespassing.For some unknown reason she still attempts to access painting over the wall via my lot.The police stated she can have a gate in her wall yet not use it to come onto my proeperty.So:can I paint my side?

Re: My neighbor continues trespass

Yes, paint all you like. next time she comes over, call the police and insist on making a citizen's arrest.
