Tree Removal and Gardening in Maglód
In Maglód we handle tree removal and pruning just as readily as landscaping or regular garden maintenance, from stump grinding to automatic irrigation. The town lies close to District 17, where we do most of our work, so we’re never far away. New rules have applied to trees here since November 2025, and we set them out in detail below.

Maglód gardens where the plain meets the hills
Maglód lies where the Pest Plain meets the Gödöllő Hills, and today it is home to more than twelve thousand people. Many new family homes went up in the second half of the 20th century, so across much of the town the houses are surrounded by gardens with lawns and hedges.
In these gardens we’re often called in to deal with trees that have grown too close to the boundary, and to cut back the hedges. Trees are our allies, so before felling one we always check whether pruning or crown reduction could save it.

BeforeAfterTree removal in Maglód under the new decree
Since 1 November 2025, the planting, felling and replacement of trees in Maglód has been governed by Decree 13/2025. (IX. 29.), and its scope extends to trees in private gardens too. A tree protected as locally significant may only be felled with a permit, even on private land, and the owner must cut down a dead tree within one year at the latest.
The decree treats drastic lopping of a tree as felling, whereas professional pruning does not count. Before any felling or pruning, the tree must always be checked for nests of protected birds, so we look for these during the survey as well.

- The decree also applies to trees on private land.
- Felling a locally protected tree requires a permit, even in a private garden.
- A dead tree must be felled within one year, and a tree that endangers life immediately.
- On land in public use and for protected trees, felling between 15 April and 15 October can only be authorised to protect life or health, or for exceptional property protection reasons.
- Depending on its size, a new tree must be planted at least 2-3 metres from the neighbouring plot’s boundary.
Lawn mowing and weed control in Maglód
Among Maglód’s decrees currently in force, we found none that limits mowing or the use of garden machinery to certain hours or bans it on Sundays. The decree on community conduct does, however, require you to clear weeds growing on and beside the pavement in front of your house, and to cut back any overhanging branches and shrubs. For the sake of good relations with the neighbours, it still makes sense to keep noisy work to the daytime.

- We found no restriction in Maglód’s decrees on the days or times when you can mow.
- Weeds on and beside the pavement in front of a property must be cleared by the owner (Decree 3/2015, Section 6).
- Cutting back overhanging branches and shrubs is also the owner’s responsibility.
Which week is garden waste collected in Maglód?
In Maglód, garden waste is collected by DTkH Nonprofit Kft., the town’s waste collection company. From 18 August 2026 the lorry comes every two weeks, on Thursdays in even-numbered weeks, but the 2026 calendar no longer lists a green waste day for December. Leaves, grass and weeds go into bags, and branches must be tied into bundles at most 1 metre long and 5 centimetres thick; both need to be out by 5 am on collection day.
This service won’t take the trunk of a felled tree or thick branches, but if you’d like, we’ll load them up and remove them at the end of the job.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to cut down a tree in Maglód?
Yes for a locally protected tree, even if it stands in a private garden. We’ll check exactly what applies to your tree during the survey, and if a permit is needed, we can help with the paperwork. We also cover permits on a separate page.
What should I do with a dead tree in Maglód?
It has to come down: under Maglód’s decree, within one year of the tree drying out. If it stands near the house or the fence, we dismantle it piece by piece using rope-access techniques, and we can grind out the stump on request.
Can I mow the lawn on a Sunday in Maglód?
We found no ban on this in Maglód’s decrees. Even so, noisy machines are best kept to weekdays, as the neighbours value their quiet Sundays too.
Do you cover Maglód?
Yes. Maglód sits right next to District 17, our main area of work. The survey is free, and you can request one using the form or by phone.
