Berlin-Specific Requirements
Berlin's tree protection ordinance protects deciduous trees with trunk circumference over 80 cm. Felling permits are required and replacement plantings or compensation payments are mandatory. Ordnance surveys are required in many Berlin districts.
Typical Project Costs
A small plot (300 m²) with light vegetation costs 3,000–8,000 euros. A medium plot (600 m²) with an old garden house costs 8,000–18,000 euros.
