Tree felling is a core part of our Dunstable service, supported by pruning, stump work, hedge cutting and help with storm-damaged trees. Our main services include:
If a tree is dead, unstable, diseased or unsuitable for its position, controlled felling or sectional dismantling may be required. ELATS Ltd plans the work around nearby buildings, drives, fences and neighbouring property. Where space is limited, branches and stem sections are lowered or placed into a controlled drop zone so the tree can be removed safely and tidily.
A stump can obstruct mowing, paving, planting, fencing or landscaping and may create a trip hazard or unwanted regrowth. ELATS Ltd uses specialist stump-grinding machinery to reduce the stump below ground level. The area can then be backfilled and prepared for turfing, planting or a new landscaping scheme, subject to the depth and intended use agreed in the quote.
Pruning can solve problems caused by a tree that has become too tall, wide or dense while retaining the tree. Depending on its condition and the result required, work may include crown reduction, crown lifting, thinning or the removal of dead, damaged and crossing branches. The aim is controlled, appropriate growth management rather than rough topping.
Fallen trees, split trunks, sudden leaning and large hanging branches can create an immediate risk to people, buildings, vehicles and access routes. Contact ELATS Ltd as soon as it is safe to do so. We can assess the damage, make the area safe and advise whether the tree requires branch removal, sectional dismantling, complete removal or follow-up pruning.
Some trees in Dunstable may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order or conservation-area controls. Before pruning, reducing or removing a mature or prominent tree, check with Central Bedfordshire Council. Permission or formal notice may be required. ELATS Ltd can assess the tree, describe the proposed work clearly and support the information needed before work begins.
Tree surgery often involves restricted access and work close to buildings, vehicles and neighbouring property. ELATS Ltd plans each job around the tree, the site and the agreed outcome, with clear communication from the initial assessment to the final tidy-up.

Yes. Stump grinding can usually be included with tree removal or arranged as a separate visit. The stump is ground below the surrounding level so the area can be backfilled and prepared for turfing, planting or landscaping. Access and the required grinding depth will be checked first.
The cost depends on the tree's size and condition, site access, proximity to buildings or boundaries, the method required and whether waste clearance or stump grinding is included. ELATS Ltd will inspect the work and provide a clear written quote based on the site.
Yes. Contact ELATS Ltd about fallen trees, split trunks, sudden leaning, blocked access and dangerous hanging branches. We will discuss the immediate risk, assess the damage and explain whether the tree requires branch removal, sectional dismantling, complete removal or follow-up pruning.
