In Kistarcsa you can count on us for tree removal and pruning, and we also build and maintain gardens, from hedge trimming to automatic irrigation. The town lies close to District 17, so we’re always happy to come out here.
Kistarcsa sits on the western edge of the Gödöllő Hills along the H8 suburban railway (HÉV), and has grown together completely with neighbouring Kerepes. The townscape decree sets separate rules for Falu (the old village), Városközpont (the town centre) and Kertváros (the garden suburb), so you’ll find all kinds of gardens here, from old village plots to new suburban streets.
In these parts of town, the decree even sets a minimum number of trees and shrubs that each plot must have. We’d recommend the same anyway: wherever we fell a tree, a new one should go in.

BeforeAfterKistarcsa’s Decree 26/2022. (XII. 8.) on townscape protection sets a minimum amount of planting for building plots in Falu, Városközpont and Kertváros: for every 150 square metres of green space or part thereof, there must be at least one large or medium-sized broadleaved tree and five shrubs. The decree also states that a plot may not be left with less than this even after a tree has been felled.
New trees must be planted at least 1.5 metres from the plot boundary, and shrubs at least half a metre. Under the decree on public spaces, trees may only be planted on public land with the mayor’s consent.

We didn’t find a single decree in force in Kistarcsa that restricts mowing or the use of garden machinery by time of day, at weekends or on public holidays. Decree 5/2023. (II. 23.) on public spaces does, however, oblige owners to mow the verge between their property and the road and keep it free of weeds and ragweed.
If the verge falls to you on top of the garden itself and you don’t have time for it, we can take it over as part of a monthly garden maintenance plan.

In Kistarcsa, green waste is collected by MOHU Budapest every other Wednesday according to the 2026 calendar, on the same day in both of the town’s collection zones. In January and February only Christmas trees without decorations are picked up, and in December there is no green waste collection at all.
Leaves, grass and weeds go into bags, while twigs have to be bundled, up to 1 metre long and 5 centimetres thick, and everything must be out by 5 am on collection day. A felled tree or a hard cut-back of a hedge leaves far more material than that, but we’ll take it away too if you ask.

We found no separate local permit rule for trees in private gardens, but after felling, your plot must still meet the required number of trees and shrubs. We’ve also written a separate page on tree felling permits.
We didn’t come across any Kistarcsa decree that forbids it. Still, it’s considerate to keep noisy work to weekdays and daytime hours, and the neighbours will thank you for it.
In 2026, every other Wednesday, except in December, when there’s no collection, and in January and February, when only Christmas trees are taken. Everything must be put out by 5 am on the morning of collection.
