We take on tree removal, pruning and complete garden makeovers in Pécel, from dismantling dangerous trees on ropes to garden maintenance on a monthly plan. The town borders District 17 on its western side, which is where we do most of our work, so Pécel is practically our neighbourhood.
Pécel sits on the western edge of the Gödöllő Hills, in the valley of the Rákos stream, where newer suburban streets have grown up alongside the old manor houses and villas. The local townscape decree treats Indiatelep and the newer garden-suburb areas as distinct zones, and both are mostly made up of family homes with a garden behind them.
The jobs we see most often in these gardens are trees that have grown out over the house and need pruning, and hedges that need trimming back into shape. When an old tree really can’t be saved, we take it down piece by piece on ropes, so that neither the roof nor the flower beds get damaged.

BeforeAfterIn Pécel, Decree 19/2016. (X. 10.) on public order in the town states that you don’t need to notify the local council before cutting down a tree on your own property. The exception may be a tree or row of trees considered significant to the townscape: the townscape protection decree only allows these to be felled if they are dead or pose a public hazard, and even then they must be replaced.
Public land is a different story. Trees there can only be cut down with an official permit, and the felled trees have to be replaced one for one, preferably on the same land parcel (helyrajzi szám). If your tree stands on the street frontage, we’ll tell you during the survey which rule applies to it.

Pécel’s decree is refreshingly clear on this. Noisy garden work is not allowed between 8 pm and 8 am, or at any time on Sundays and public holidays. The ban covers every noisy garden machine, from the lawnmower to the chainsaw, so your neighbour’s Sunday nap is protected, while on weekdays the weeds don’t stand a chance.

Garden waste in Pécel is collected by MOHU Budapest (the public waste management company). Under the 2026 calendar the town is split into two zones, with a collection every two weeks on Thursdays in one and on Fridays in the other. Leaves, grass and weeds go out in bags, and branches in bundles up to 1 metre long and 5 centimetres thick, although in January and February only Christmas trees stripped of their decorations are taken.
Burning leaves and garden waste is prohibited within the built-up area; instead, the decree requires you to compost it or use the public collection service. Anything thicker than those bundles, such as the trunk of a felled tree, we can take away at the end of the job if you ask.

Usually not. Under Pécel’s decree you don’t even have to notify the council about a tree in your own garden. Stricter rules apply, however, to trees on public land and to trees considered significant to the townscape. We explain the permit process in more detail on a separate page.
No. In Pécel noisy garden work is banned on Sundays and public holidays, and on other days between 8 pm and 8 am. If you hand your garden maintenance over to us, we’ll schedule the mowing within the permitted hours.
Yes, if you’d like us to. The public service only collects thin, bundled branches, but we can haul away the heavy limbs and the trunk, so there’s no pile left in your garden afterwards.
