Why your gardener needs to know the local rules
Garden work is the same everywhere, but the rules vary from place to place. Whether you need a permit to fell a tree, when you may use a power mower or a chainsaw, and how green waste is collected are set by the district decree in Budapest and by the local council’s decree in Pest County.
That’s why we’ve written a separate page for each area, based on the local decree and with the source cited. During the site visit we always check whether anything has changed since, so that the work complies with every rule.
