My neighbor didn’t forewarn me that he was taking out 2-3 feet of my front yard. How should I handle this?

 In RealEstate

I live in a brand new community. My neighbor wanted to extend his driveway, although he has the biggest house and biggest driveway on the block. He can literally park 7 cars in his driveway, no joke! We live in a rural area so he got a bunch of land. As his neighbor I don’t have much land, I have a fraction of his. However, he decided to take a huge chunk out of my front yard, about 2-3 feet, to extend his already huge driveway.

Is it common for a builder in 2023 to give you 2-3 feet of land that isn’t technically yours? I don’t want to confront my neighbor just yet. I want to ensure I have concrete proof and facts in hand. I found a surveyor who is gonna charge me $900, so I am getting this taken care of just looking for advice from others who have dealt with this.
