Garden wall

Hi,
Hope that someone out there can offer some advice. We have a patio area in our garden that is a few feet lower than our neighbour's ground level. We have a vertical fence separating our gardens. They used to have lots of shrubs but cut them all down last year and replaced it with panel fencing and decking.
We are slowly tidy up the gardening - last year we removed a rank water feature and this month, I have taken out a skip load of horrible red rocks that were embedded in the soil as well as a raised bed. However, that area is very wet.
I am now worried that the fence is not strong enough a barrier to our neighbours garden and also that water from their garden is draining into our as the level is lower with the area where the raised bed now very wet - am I unduly worried? Should we have left the red rocks in?
On the positive side, we are going plant a lot of water loving ferns in a narrow border along that fence on our side but think I will want to reinforce it somehow first.

A fence won't be strong enough to hold the weight of earth so you really need to get a retaining wall built or you could see your neighbour's garden sliding into yours.
