Earlier this summer my dad and I did a major earth moving project for six weeks including spending two days with the rather expensive to rent pay loader and excavator of adding two 6 foot dia 34 foot long sections of concrete culverts to our main driveway to improve water flow plus raised widened and contoured roughly 250 feet of the road as well then topped off the whole new road section with about 25 tons of crushed asphalt.
Zero cost to our neighbor we share the road with in the end and no intentions of ever asking for any payment for it either. 
They other day that neighbor hauled in three semi loads of what he says is class 5 gravel, although I would call it screened pit run myself, burying what I put down as well and wants me to pay $700 for my half of that gravel.
I mentioned this to my dad earlier this evening and he said no problem. He will be happy to deduct the $700 off of his half of the road and culvert work and we will call his bill $2000 even. 
Now really if you shared a driveway with a neighbor that just did a major 1000+ yard rebuild and improvement to a large section of that driveway and added large concrete culverts to help solve flooding issues at 100% his time and cost would you have the big brass ones to then try and bill him for additional work you did that covered up his?
