Your enighbour may be entitled in law to change his fence, but has a moral, and certainly courtesy duty to advise you in advance. He, or rather his contractor, does not have right to enter your property in your absence, without your permission and knowledge, and certainly not to damage your garden while he is there.
Take some photos of the new fence, the concrete, and so on, then have a polite word with your neighbour, and suggest that he might like to recompense you for the damage to your flowerbeds, inconvenience and so on - to be fair, he may be unaware of this dfmage, and be keen to put it right.
If he gets stroppy, or offensive, don't get into any arguments with him - withdraw and contact your solicitor. You can usually get some inexpensive, or even free advice on where you stand legally - if not, try the Citizens' Advice Bureau to see if they can assist.
Good luck, and keep in mind at all times the value of what you win, against what you may loose - neighbourly wars or attrition are sheer hell, and to be avoided at all costs.
