First, I suggest you calmly discuss the problem with your neighbor.

Assuming that does not work, then take pictures of the damage and then speak to the town building department and see if they can assist. Assuming the town cannot help you, then call an attorney in your area to bring a nuisance action against your neighbor for damages to your property.
