Tree Removal and Gardening in Vecsés

Vecsés gardens on both sides of the railway
Vecsés is made up of four traditional neighbourhoods, and the railway line roughly cuts the town in two: Falu and Felsőtelep lie north of the tracks, Halmy-telep and Andrássy-telep to the south. Felsőtelep is home to the town’s oldest housing estate, while the rest of this town, famous for its cabbage, is lined with streets of family homes and gardens.
The gardens of Vecsés keep us busy with the familiar jobs, from pruning trees that have grown over the house to renovating tired lawns. If a tree does have to come down, we recommend planting a new one in its place, and we’ll do the planting too.

In Vecsés, trees are covered by Decree 3/2024. (I. 31.) on the protection of the local environment, and its replacement rules apply to trees standing on public land. The decree explicitly exempts fruit trees and shrubs in private gardens from these rules.

Green waste collection in Vecsés
According to the 2026 calendar of DTkH Nonprofit Kft., green waste in Vecsés is collected weekly from 24 March: on Tuesdays north of the railway, for example in Felsőtelep and Falu, and on Thursdays south of the tracks, in Andrássy-telep and Halmy-telep. Branches can be put out in bundles of up to 1 metre in length and 5 centimetres in thickness.
Under the town’s decree, leaves and grass must be put out in bags sold by Vecsési Városgondnok (the town’s maintenance service), with a maximum of 15 kilograms per bag and no branches inside. Thick branches and tree trunks fall outside this system, so we’ll remove them for you on request.
