To be annoyed about neighbour always encroaching & making mess

I’ve a semi detached house with mine and my neighbours front door right next to each other. Would never buy a house of this design again but you live and learn. Neighbour is a serious hiker and often comes back with muddy gear. He used to clean them
off in his back garden but recently has taken to bringing them at the front chipping off the mud and banging them to loose the debris right outside our front doors, practically aiming at my house with his stuff everywhere

i have plants and a small patio outside and he’s leaving flakes of mud everywhere I have to then clean up

i know already i probably sound unreasonable but I am not in great health, even having to clear up other people’s mess is draining and I generally find it poor manners to do this

he’s not the most approachable and when I’ve mentioned before about concerns he stopped temporarily then started again

its really irritating me and causing me stress about keeping the front clean. I have a previous history with this neighbour encroaching on my property also so only just solved that

AIBU - to want to try and talk to him again? Or would you leave it

I thought you were going to be talking about rubbish and old car parts not walking boots. YABU.

It’s not the boots it’s everything being cleaned flicking mud and dried muck flinged all over my door, patio, ornaments and plants. Rather than his own property
