I think your neighbours are obviously p!ssed with you about the trees or they would have handled it better kwim. You could choose to take them over a bottle of wine and some chocies and thank them for pruning your trees that are overhanging into their yard and say something about your concerns of the branches in your yard due to little ones and ask how you can all sort something out for the future that everyone is happy with

Or you could just get your Gardiner to come out on a some what regular occurrence to stop this from occurring?~?~?~

I wish it were that simple. Our gardener costs us $300-400 each time they come out. When we moved into this house we thought the garden was lovely (and it is!), but never realised quite how much work it would be.
If the trees were the type that branch right out and hang I'd be quicker to notice they need a trim, but they are the type of tree that mainly just grows up, and they are pretty skinny too. So even when they start to go over the fence line it's not like they would ever actually hang down and get in the way. They would literally just be in the neighbours airspace above their heads.
But anyway, I'm not worried at all that the cut them, or even that they don't want to dispose of the branches themselves. I was just surprised that they wouldn't either just ask us to do it for them, or let us know that they were doing it and leaving us the branches. I know that they have kids as well so I would have thought that they would realise that throwing branches on the ground is a potential danger. Maybe because their kids are older they just didn't think about it...
