If the access is an easement, that is still your property and your neighbor can use the driveway, but the neighbor cannot plant things on your property because the neighbor has no legal right to effect your property. In other words, the neighbor can use the driveway, but that is it. You still own the land, you are just letting the neighbor use the driveway. If the neighbor plants things on your property, and takes similar action, the neighbor might be trying to get title to your property through adverse possession.

You should consult with a property lawyer in your state and you should consider having the neighbor dig up everything immediately that is on your property. Good luck.
