We have a dense yew hedge that's been there for about 15 years. It's blocking our view and taking up space we'd rather use. The hedge is roughly 2 metres tall and runs about 20 metres along our property line. We're not sure if we need a permit in Eindhoven or if this is something we can just hire someone to remove. Also worried about the cost—is this expensive?
✓ Accepted answer
Removing a 2m × 20m yew hedge typically costs €800–€1,500 in the Netherlands, depending on density, disposal method, and your region. Labour is the main cost driver; thick, mature yews take longer to cut, chip, and haul away. You do NOT need a gemeente permit in Eindhoven for removing your own hedge on your property. However, if the hedge is on a property boundary, check your deed or ask your neighbour—disputes are rare but worth avoiding. Disposal of green waste adds €100–€300 if the contractor doesn't chip on-site. Get 2–3 quotes: costs vary widely.
