Lots of reasons why you might nit have had a response

Why don't you check in with them and see if they are ok? It's been 2 weeks since you heard from them?

Did you cut them back too much? Iasked myOH to cut back a cherry tree ,he ruined it and it had to be taken out .Check the neighbour is pleased or otherwise and get instructions about how much before you do it again

Oh dear, but you don't say why you were doing it. If your neighbour is unwell or frail (as I assume) they may not be quite thinking straight.
If it was a kind gesture to a busy gardening incompetent, who is in their right mind, then that's a shame and I wouldn't offer again.

Simple solution...........don't do it again. And if she asks for things to be done, just be far too busy.

You could always ring and ( disingenuously) ask if she is happy with what you have done?

Bibbity OP says she had promised to do it. So consultation must have taken place

Isn't that a criminal offence?
Did you speak to them or consult them at all?

Whilst my father was in hospital for his first stay this year -I thought that it would be a nice gesture to prune my neighbour's horrendously overgrown roses as promised .

A lovely sunny morning - pruning them was a massive job .

I cleared away all the prunings filling my garden bin to capacity and with aching hands admired my efforts .

A bath later and off to the hospital - I thought how pleased she'd be .

That was over a fortnight ago .

There has been no phone call ,no note and no thank you .
