Check if you need a permission in Amsterdam
Amsterdam has its own regulations regarding tree cutting and trimming. In some municipalities (Dutch: “gemeente”) you can cut any of your trees without a permit. Unless the tree is on the protected tree list of your municipality. In other municipalities you need to apply for a permit for even the smallest of trees and the permit request alone can cost a lot of money.
Permit or not, you are always required to adhere to the dutch Environment Law (dutch: Omgevingswet). It aims to protect wildlife and nature in general. Mainly applicable to occupied bird nests or year round protected bird nests.
The municipal tree regulations can be found in the “Algemene Plaatselijk Verordening”, or AVP in short, of your municipality.

Strategies for Tree Removal and Cutting
In situations where there’s little to no space under the tree or if there are delicate items at risk, our approach involves climbing, utilizing speed-lines, and lowering ropes for piece-by-piece tree dismantling. A speed-line helps in directing branches to a designated, safe spot away from the tree. Climbing is the prime technique for protecting nearby valuable assets or goods, offering the most controlled and accurate tree removal process. If the tree needs to be completely removed, climbing spurs paired with a flip-line or lanyard might be used. Conversely, for trimming, spurs are avoided to prevent injury to the tree and potential disease attraction.
