Tree removal and gardening in District 6
Tree removal, pruning courtyard trees or looking after shared gardens in District 6 calls for extra care, because in the courtyards of Terézváros's apartment blocks a single tree is often the whole building's favourite. We usually work in District 17, but we come out to Terézváros as well.

Trees in the courtyards of Terézváros
Terézváros is a densely built district of apartment blocks with hardly any private gardens; trees and shrubs find their place in inner courtyards, shared gardens and on roof terraces. The most important work here is pruning, reshaping crowns, safely felling the odd diseased tree and regular care of the building's green spaces.

BeforeAfterStrict tree removal rules in Terézváros
In District 6, the basic rule of Decree 12/2022. (V. 5.) is that felling trees is forbidden, except in the cases the decree lists. On private land the district clerk (jegyző) decides on the permit, and the application must be submitted at least 60 days before the planned felling, together with an arborist's tree inspection report and a tree planting plan.
Pruning calls for caution too: more than a tenth of the crown may only be removed on the basis of an arborist's report, and no part of the tree may be cut without the consent of the property owner.

Where do courtyard cuttings go?
MOHU's weekly garden waste round skips Terézváros, as District 6 is not on the company's list of districts. So if you'd like, we'll take away the pruned branches and the trunk of a felled tree at the end of the job.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a permit to remove a courtyard tree in Terézváros?
From the district clerk, at least 60 days before the planned felling, together with an arborist's report and a tree planting plan. The rules are particularly strict in Terézváros, because permits are only granted for the reasons listed in the decree. That's why, at the site visit, the first thing we check is whether the tree can still be saved.
When can trees be cut down in Terézváros?
Between 1 November and 15 March, unless immediate action is needed for the safety of life or property. Since the application has to be submitted at least 60 days in advance, it's worth getting in touch at the start of autumn.
Do you work in the courtyards of Terézváros apartment buildings?
Yes. There's no district in Budapest we don't cover, so we're glad to come to the inner courtyards of Terézváros too. We don't charge for the survey, and the quote reaches you in writing afterwards.
