    The problem I have is they have damaged my property. The gravel boards are weaken by there stupid actions. They need to take responsibility as agrees by landlord and agent 
    Is that it?!  When a few of those weeds grow a bit you won't even see the holes.

    I don't disagree that they've been negligent and presumptuous (they may have erroneously assumed the fence was theirs or jointly-owned) and that it's annoying, but court action for that is laughable.

    Is there more at play here?  A wider dispute, perhaps?
    No wider dispute. They are clearly visible and will weaken with frost due to gapen holes.

    I wouldnt be happy either and the quotes seem about right.  once water gets in and freezes /thaws , its likely to get worse, you should get a third quote and go from there though
