Can I just take boundary line back?

Bit of a non-issue but could do with some clarification of protocol
There is a small half meter strip that runs between our front steps and the neighbours house.
Next door is a rented investment property, in a bid to make it low maintenance the landlord had graveled the front lawn at some point since its purchase in 2015, and has taken the gravel strip over the boundary curb to meet our steps.
I have no idea if permission was given by the house previous owner (deceased) or just done.
It was the tidiest way of doing it and we have no objections of it being graveled but would like to reinstate the boundary line so no issue will arise in resale.
My idea is to just plant lavender hedging along the boundary curb within the gravel and return the gravel if asked in the future.
But do I have to write to give notice that im doing this or just wait and see if comment is made.
I don't know who the house owner is and I would say it was generally just done to keep the frontage tidy.

If you're saying that you want to plant hedging on your own side of the boundary - I would just get on and do it.
If the same gravel was laid on your neighbours garden and part of your garden, I would assume that both the owners just cooperated on the project - and each paid an appropriate share of the cost.0 -
