Gardens and plots in Csepel
Csepel is the only district on Csepel Island, so it belongs to neither Buda nor Pest. Its thirteen neighbourhoods include suburban, village-like, riverside, housing-estate and industrial areas: there are housing estates around the centre and the old factory district, while Királyerdő and the area near the Kis-Duna (Little Danube) are lined with streets of family houses and gardens.
In the garden streets we fell and prune overgrown trees, trim hedges and mow lawns regularly, and we bring neglected gardens and plots back into shape, from clearing scrub to laying a new lawn.

BeforeAfterTree removal and replanting rules in Csepel
In Csepel, Decree 11/2022. also covers trees in private gardens: before felling, an application or notification must be submitted to the mayor's office, and the district clerk (jegyző) orders replacement planting. The decree doesn't apply to fruit trees, but it doesn't count walnut, sweet chestnut, almond or mulberry as fruit trees.
Replacement is required for trees with a trunk thicker than 4 cm, normally matching the full trunk diameter of the felled tree, primarily in the same spot or on the same plot. If an expert report confirms that the tree is dangerous or diseased, or if it's an invasive species, it's enough to plant as many trees as were felled.

Frequently asked questions
Is a permit required for tree removal in Csepel?
Except for fruit trees, you have to submit an application or notification before felling, because the district decree also covers trees in private gardens, and the felled tree must be replaced. We'll check the exact procedure at the site visit and help you with the paperwork.
How many trees do I have to plant to replace a felled tree in Csepel?
Normally enough for the trunk diameters of the new trees to add up to that of the felled tree. For a dangerous or diseased tree, if an expert report confirms it, one tree has to be planted for each one felled. We do the replanting too, because we believe a felled tree should be followed by a new one.
Can I mow at the weekend in Csepel?
Probably yes, as we found no rule among Csepel's current decrees that specifically sets mowing hours. Even so, it's polite to respect the neighbours' rest times, and if you have questions, we can discuss this at the site visit.
Do you cross over to Csepel too?
Yes, we come out to every part of Csepel, from Királyerdő to Háros. We do most of our work in and around District 17, but we're happy to cross over to the island, and we'll get back to you within one working day.
