Cabling & Bracing

Supporting Trees for Health & Safety

When it comes to supporting structurally weak trees, cabling and bracing are effective options that help keep trees healthy, safe, and strong. Trees can develop cracks, weak branch unions, or heavy limbs that put stress on the trunk and branches, sometimes due to age, storms, or natural growth patterns. Instead of removing the tree or cutting large sections, these support methods provide reinforcement where it’s needed most. They can extend the life of your trees, reduce the risk of limb failure, and help preserve the beauty and character of your landscape.

Bracing uses rigid rods to reinforce structurally weak branches or trunks from the inside. This internal support stabilizes cracks, weak unions, or damaged sections, allowing trees to remain healthy and safe without the need for removal..

Cabling

Bracing

Cabling involves installing strong cables between major branches or trunks to reduce stress on weak areas. It helps redistribute weight, limiting movement during storms or high winds, and is often used on trees with heavy limbs, multiple leaders, or narrow branch angles that could split.
