Our Cabling & Bracing Process
Three Simple Steps to a Safer Tree
What Is Tree Cabling and Bracing?
Tree cabling and bracing are support systems that help a weak tree hold together. Cables run between major limbs or trunks high in the canopy to limit how far they move. Tree bracing uses threaded steel rods installed through a weak union or a split to hold it together. Together they stabilize weak unions and heavy limbs, help protect your home during storms and extend tree life.
They work best on healthy trees with one weak spot: two trunks joined in a tight V, a crack where limbs meet, or a long, heavy limb over a roof or driveway. They can’t save a dead tree or one with heavy decay, so our ISA Certified Arborists check the tree’s health first. If the tree is sick, our plant health care can help. If it’s too far gone, we’ll tell you plainly. Cabling lowers the risk that a weak spot fails. No system makes a tree failure-proof, so we inspect it on a schedule.
Have every system checked at least once a year and after big storms. The tree keeps growing, and the hardware has to keep up.
