If you're dealing with this kind of a ######bag, your options are pretty limited. You can either punch the guy in the face, or else just kill your outside power and fix your lawn next spring.
Getting into a war with some knuckle-dragging freak is only going to net you some broken windows and other forms of grief. Afterall, he knows where you live.
Forget the contractor.
As for your neighbour, options are limited there, too. What are you going to do? Build a fence? If the guy is a total assface, you either suck it up or move. I mean, the only way to get even is to pour salt on his lawn or something. Calling the cops will only instigate a war.
The idea of calling in a 'tip' to CRA is kinda funny. That's some well deserved karma for the contractor... But short of that, there's not much you can do without making the situation worse. If the neighbour and the contractor are as oblivious (read: assholish) as you say, making a big deal out of it just gets you in deeper.

Best advice so far. I remember the fella that replaced our windows in Calgary telling me a story about a neighbour that was p'ing him off on a job. He finished the job, waited a couple of weeks, returned at night and put insulating foam up the exhaust of both his cars.
You could also write and date another neighbour's name you can't stand in the wet cement.
