Am I being unreasonable?

Yeah! You could shoot up his lawnmower and his dog!

Please do not put fuel on his lawn. I'm not a tree hugger but putting something like diesel, gas or oil on the lawn isn't exactly a good thing to do.

Doing anything damaging (and obvious) to his equipment would be way too suspicious and would most likely require you to go into his garage or shed... that's just asking for trouble...

Another thing you can do is put rocks on his lawn. If he goes over rocks with lawn mower it will just destroy his blades

[THRUSH]

Man shawnd1 you beat me to it! Rocks are the easiest thing to do and I have a fun way to distribute them across the lawn. Lay down some rock in the road, break out your car/truck and then light up your tires in the rocks, thus making loud noises and kicking rocks all over the yard.
Another fun idea would be having a huge soccer party, with tons of friends, cowbells, airhorns and other noise makers including megaphone (to shout GGGGOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!). Since you're in the country also you would need to fires guns in the air in celebration of goals, turnovers, really anytime you feel it's appropriate.
Now for my serious response. Walk over later in the afternoon/evening and say hey sorry about screaming at your earlier, but I just woke up and was not too happy about the racket. I'm sure we're on pretty different schedules and early morning mowing seems to work for you but it really disrupts my schedule. Whether you like it or not we're going to be seeing a awful lot of each other and I'd really like for that to be enjoyable rather than something I dread. I know this heavy duty mower is something that's just begging to be stoked, so I can understand why you'd want to start your morning tearing around the lawn. But would it be possible to push the time a little?
If attitude comes in here, make a little bargain so you each get some benefit (aside from this dork not getting his a** stomped by you). Maybe, alright you take it easy on the mower until *insert time* and I'll ensure you lube that brain up with some cheap beer to keep it nice and stupid while you're tooling around the yard. Or maybe there's something that's bugging him that you do, but he just never said anything and is doing this to get back at you.

Rocks or other hard objects on the lawn are not really great ideas as a healthy lawnmower can launch them with terrific force, possibly through one of your windows or the side of your house.

Most things that you could do to his property could end you up in litigation, if not jail. But I would get a kick out of seeing a gallon or two of lemon fresh joy dishwashing liquid in his fountain. Now that stuff would make some serious bubbles.

This is what I would do that would screw up his nights and not be all that obvious and quite hard to prove.

You can download a tone generator into your computer thats capable of producing ultra-sonic and sub-sonic tones and shape the wave emitted and run those tones through two small P.A. projection type speakers capable of handling those ranges. Then hide them in your trees and point them at his bedroom windows and let them play between the hours of 10pm till when he wakes up.
Now you might think what goods that going to do because nobody can hear that. But it's a proven fact that certain ranges can cause nausea, blistering headaches, and some other side affects.
Believe me that all though barely audible to the human ear (like when the police come to check and arent there long enough for them to be affected) long term exposure to the proper frequency and modulation on your neighbors part will lead to many sleepless and sick nights. Then he'll be too tired and just sick to wanna even turn on something that makes alot of noise.

P.S. you must use the projection type speakers so the noise will only affect where they are aimed. Piezo type drivers are preferable for the high end frequencies.

I think you should start building plywood crates in your spare time!

Face the open side toward him, each nail you drive is going to sound like a cannon going off!

be sure to use random time intervals.

All kidding aside, you need a third party to intervein with you and sit down and try to work it out. Maybe the police has an arbitrator that may help. You could wind up with a bullet in your chest!

Since you can't sleep anyway, just start moving your own lawn at 2-3am, everynight! You don't even have to mow, just crank up a lawn mower and weedeater, then set them right next to his property line. He will get your point in just a couple of days.

[ShawnD1]

I like that tone generator idea. Just pump lots of low frequency at his house and it will just rattle his walls. Or if you want to save time, just download the song Flat Beat by Mr Oizo and it will do it for you. Play that song really loud and with lots of bass and you will understand, it just shakes everything.
I can't belive i spelled bass wrong lol.

[crouse]

Take him a beer.......tell him your sorry........ the (guy next door) ^*&%* kept you awake the other night and he woke you up and you were just tired and irritable.

Perhaps that same guy with the music has kept him up too.......... and it wasn't YOU he was trying to annoy

Bushmaster........ I only wish I had had that advice you just gave about a year and a half ago ............. Sigh.....

Oh....... and if the beer doesn't work....... Bushmasters idea will.

[Blazer06]

Hey buhmaster, where would I get one of those?

And, how long do they take to work.
