Tree Removal and Gardening in Gödöllő
For tree removal and a gardener in Gödöllő, you don’t need to hire two separate firms, because the GazEmberek handle felling, garden maintenance and even building an entire garden as one team. We come out to Gödöllő too, and after a free survey we give you a written quote.

Garden maintenance across Gödöllő’s neighbourhoods
Gödöllő, home of the Grassalkovich Palace and the agricultural university, lies about 30 kilometres north-east of Budapest in the Gödöllő Hills, in the broad valley of the Rákos stream. Alongside the gardens of its family-home neighbourhoods there are also the shared courtyards of blocks of flats, and from Máriabesnyő to Kertváros, each has its own challenges.
Many people in Gödöllő are looking for regular garden maintenance, which we offer for a monthly fee, and on annual contracts for blocks of flats and companies. And if an old tree is causing trouble, we first check whether it can be saved, because a tree is an ally, even if it sometimes hangs over the roof.

BeforeAfterTree removal and replanting in Gödöllő
We found no local decree in Gödöllő dealing specifically with felling trees in private gardens. The local building regulations (30/2018. (XII. 14.)) do, however, require valuable trees on building plots to be preserved, and if felling one is unavoidable, it must be replaced on the same plot.
The number of replacement trees is calculated from the trunk diameters of the felled trees: the sum of the diameters in centimetres is multiplied by 0.15. A tree on public land always requires a permit, and during the survey we’ll check what applies to the tree in your garden.

- Valuable trees on building plots must be preserved
- If felling is unavoidable, the tree must be replaced within the plot
- The number of replacement trees is 0.15 times the sum of the felled trees’ trunk diameters
- Replacement trees must be native, twice-transplanted nursery stock
- The preservation rule does not apply to fruit trees, invasive species or non-native species
Noisy machinery and weed-free plots in Gödöllő
In Gödöllő, the public cleanliness decree (6/2024. (V. 17.)) sets out when noisy machines may be used. Lawnmowers, power saws and other electric or motorised machines may be used between 7:00 and 20:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, and between 10:00 and 20:00 on Sundays and public holidays, although this restriction does not apply in commercial and agricultural zones.
The same decree requires both built-on and vacant plots to be kept clean and weed-free at all times, especially of plants that trigger pollen allergies. If you don’t have time for this, our monthly garden maintenance means the grass gets mown and the beds weeded on a regular basis.

How to put out green waste in Gödöllő
In Gödöllő, waste is collected by Vertikál Group within the MOHU system. According to their 2024 information sheet, cut grass and soft-stemmed plants are taken away in branded biodegradable bags, up to 25 kilograms per bag, and branches in bundles up to 70 centimetres long and 50 centimetres in diameter, but loose, untidily piled clippings are not collected.
You can pick up one branded bag per collection at the local customer service office at Dózsa György út 69. The green waste from a tree removal or a bigger pruning job obviously won’t fit into a single bag, so we’ll take it away at the end of the job on request.
