We hebben een grote wilg aan de rand van ons erf in Leiden (ongeveer 15 jaar oud). De takken hangen flink over ons dak en de buren zeggen dat we iets moeten doen. Ik wil niet de hele boom kappen, maar wel die hangende takken eraf. Is dit iets wat ik zelf kan doen, of moet ik een professional inhuren? En heb ik toestemming nodig van de gemeente?

Tree branch removal over structures typically costs €400–€1,200 depending on branch thickness, height, and how much debris needs disposal. Since the tree is on your property, you generally don't need a municipal permit for trimming (only for felling). However, check your gemeente's boomverordening—some require notification for trees over 6 meters or protected species. The work involves climbing, chainsaws, and safe rigging: not a DIY job if branches overhang the roof. A certified hovenier or boomverzorger will assess if branches are diseased or pose a real risk (which affects cost). Post your job on AstraNL with photos and location—local verified professionals in Leiden will give you exact quotes and advise on permits.
