Tree removal, garden design and garden maintenance in BudapestNeglected garden.
Scroll down and watch an overgrown garden turn back into a place where you actually want to spend time outside.
Scrub and land clearing
We clear the weeds and take them away.
We remove the scrub, the suckers and the weeds climbing up the fence, then haul the green waste away, so you can finally see how big your garden really is.
Hedge trimming, garden maintenance
We tidy it up and keep it that way.
We trim the hedge back into shape, sort out the lawn and the beds, and if you like, we come back all year round for a monthly fee.
By the time we finish, you will want to sit outside again.
The site visit is free, and if you send us a message, we call you back within one working day.

What we do outdoors
We know trees and gardens alike.
Most companies either cut down trees or build gardens, but we do both. So after a tree has gone, you do not need to find another contractor for the stump, the lawn or the irrigation, because in Budapest and the surrounding towns the same team sees the job through from start to finish.

Tree removal in Budapest
Is a tree threatening your house?
We come out and check whether it can still be saved. If it cannot, we explain what your district requires for removing it, and then we do the job safely.
Rope access
We take care of every detail.
Where a tree cannot be felled in one go, we climb it and lower the cut sections on ropes, so the roof, the fence and the flower beds all stay intact.
Stump grinding, removal, a new tree
Where the old tree stood, a new one can grow.
We grind out the stump, take the trunk and branches away, and if you like, we plant a young tree in its place ourselves.
Trees are our allies
We would rather save it than cut it down.
A tree gives shade, cools the garden and cleans the air, so every site visit starts with the question of whether it can be saved. Often a thorough pruning or crown reshaping is enough. If the tree is diseased, dead or already threatens the house, we do not put off removing it, but we recommend planting a new one in its place.

kinds of outdoor work, from tree removal to winterising your sprinklers.
Garden maintenance all year
Every season brings work in the garden.
A garden needs something completely different in spring than in autumn. With monthly garden maintenance, we make sure the right job gets done at the right time, from mowing to winterisation, and if you like, we also install a robotic mower.

Where we work
District 17 is our home turf.
We work most in Rákosmente, we are often in the neighbouring districts and the surrounding towns, and we are happy to come to any district of Budapest. For every place we have collected what the local regulations say about tree removal, noisy garden work and green waste, so it is worth finding yours on the map.

Garden design and landscaping
Even mud can become a beautiful garden.
The house is finished, but the garden is still nothing but mud? We plan where the terrace, the path, the beds and the trees should go, and then we build the whole thing.
Turf laying
Where there was mud, there is now lawn.
We prepare and level the soil, lay the turf, roll it and give it its first watering.
Automatic irrigation
Leave the watering to the sprinklers.
We plan the automatic irrigation system in zones and build it underground, winterise it in autumn and start it up again in spring.
Meet the GazEmberek
Outdoors and indoors, it is all about plants.
GazEmberek is Joe bácsi's team. József Kiss, whom everyone calls Joe bácsi (Uncle Joe), has been in the trade since 1988. Outdoors we remove trees, build gardens and look after lawns, while indoors our sister team, Virágbirodalom, brings greenery into offices and receptions.
We are a family business, and it shows in the work: the person who comes out for the site visit is there for the job too, and still knows later which tree got what.
We pull weeds out by the roots.
For residential buildings and companies
Even a courtyard can become a garden.
We look after apartment block courtyards, office gardens and the green areas of business parks, on an annual contract with property managers and operators.
With regular care
A place like this brings the residents together.
Lawn, trees, climbers on the walls, flower boxes on the balconies, and all of it stays cared for, because we keep coming back.
At work
This is what our working days look like.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of work do you take on?
We remove and prune trees, grind stumps, clear scrub and trim hedges, and we also design and build gardens, lay turf, and install and winterise irrigation systems. We take on monthly garden maintenance for private gardens, residential buildings and companies as well.
Where do you work?
We work most in District 17 (Rákosmente) and the surrounding towns, such as Pécel, Maglód, Vecsés, Gyömrő, Isaszeg and Kistarcsa, but we come out to every district of Budapest. If you are not sure whether we can reach you, call us or write the name of your town in the form.
How much does the site visit cost?
Nothing: the site visit is free and you are under no obligation. We look at the tree or the garden, talk through what you would like, and then send you a written quote.
What does the price depend on?
Mainly on the size of the job, how difficult the site is to access, and how much green waste has to be taken away. A tree leaning over a house, for example, has to be taken down piece by piece on ropes, which is far more work than felling a free-standing tree, so we can only give an exact price after the site visit.
Do you take the green waste away?
Yes, if you ask us to, we take away the cut branches, the trunk and the scrub, so there is no pile left in the garden at the end. Removal appears as a separate item in the quote.
When is the best time to remove a tree?
From late autumn to early spring, when the tree has no leaves, because it is easier to cut up and birds are not nesting in it. A dangerous tree that threatens to fall, however, should not wait: it needs to be dealt with straight away, whatever the season.
Let us start sorting out your garden.
Tell us what the problem is with your garden or tree, and we will call you back within one working day. The site visit is free and you are under no obligation. You can write to us in English.
