Trees

Trees define (in part) the face of the city. They bring life to the streetscape and increase the sense of satisfaction in neighborhoods. The municipality values the trees in its city.

Plant a tree of remembrance

A tree can be planted and/or adopted in the Geuzegroen food neighborhood forest to commemorate a special moment in your life.

Cutting of trees

Cutting down trees almost always requires an environmental permit. Even on private property.

Pruning of trees

Municipality of Zoetermeer has about 42,000 trees under management. Because trees are important, they must be properly maintained.

Sewer blockage due to tree roots

In some cases, tree roots can damage the sewer system.

Is there storm damage somewhere in your neighborhood or street and is there immediate danger to people and/or animals? If so, please call the municipality immediately at 14 079 or emergency number 112.
