No. There is nothing unjust about benefiting from work the neighbor performed despite knowing you were unwilling to pay for it. Whether you could persuade a judge or jury that this is what really happened is another story.

If it hasn't happened yet, put it in writing. Tell the neighbor that you unequivocably don't want him/her to touch your yard. If it has happened, word it differently -- i.e. that you never told them to do it, you couldn't pay for it, and you consider it a gift.
