The garden - is my landlord being reasonable??

It is possible to write a polite letter, just as it's possible to have a demanding phone call. it's not the medium chosen that dictates the level of politeness or demand.I would phone him and politely but firmly tell him you think this was unreasonable request and you do not appreciate his early morning wake up visit, ask him to phone before he calls again.
You have been renting for 2 years and LL has been reasonable up until now. Maybe he was having a bad day and I would let it go. Writing demanding your rights will only alienate the LL.
The advantage of a letter is:
1. There is a paper trial for use should any disputes occur later.
2. There is evidence of what was communicated.
3. There is time to consider carefully what to put.
4. There is less chance of it evolving into an argument as the other side can't answer back straight away.
5. It is more business like and shows you are serious.0
