⚙️ Tree Cabling and Bracing Service
Structural Support for Preservation and Safety
Cabling and bracing are essential services used to provide supplemental support to structurally weak trees, helping to preserve valuable mature specimens and reduce the risk of failure. We professionally install non-invasive support systems to protect your trees from high winds, ice damage, and internal weaknesses.
Why Use Cabling and Bracing?
This technique is a proactive measure used by arborists to maintain the integrity of a tree that is otherwise healthy but has a structural flaw:
- Hazard Mitigation: Minimizes the risk of a tree or a major limb falling on a structure, vehicle, or person.
- Prevent Splitting: Prevents weakly attached **co-dominant stems** from splitting apart during stress.
- Preservation of Mature Trees: Extends the lifespan of valuable older trees showing structural weakness.
- Post-Damage Reinforcement: Used to re-stabilize and support limbs that have been cracked or partially split.
Our Cabling & Bracing Process
We follow industry best practices to ensure the support system is effective, durable, and safe for the tree:
1. Expert Assessment
Our arborists inspect the tree's structure for failure points, determining the precise location and tension needed for the support system.
2. High-Quality Installation
We install flexible, high-strength **steel cables or modern synthetic ropes** between the main limbs to limit movement and reduce stress. Rigid **steel rods** may be installed for lower, more severe weaknesses.
3. Non-Invasive Technique
The hardware is installed in a manner that allows the tree to grow and compartmentalize around the system, minimizing harm to the tree's vascular system.
4. Safety and Longevity
The final system is designed to provide years of support, securing the tree without restricting the natural movement needed for continued growth and strength development.
