Cabling and bracing are arboricultural techniques used to provide structural support to trees that may be weak, damaged, or at risk of failure. These techniques involve the installation of cables and braces in the tree to help redistribute weight and reduce stress on weak or damaged branches or the entire tree structure.

Purpose of Cabling and Bracing:
- Structural Support: Cabling and bracing are used to provide additional support to trees with weak or damaged limbs or trunks, helping to prevent them from breaking or falling.
- Risk Reduction: By strengthening weak areas of the tree, cabling and bracing can reduce the risk of branch or tree failure, which could cause damage to property or injury to people.
- Preservation: Cabling and bracing can help preserve valuable or historic trees that may have structural issues, extending their lifespan and maintaining their aesthetic and environmental benefits.
Why is this Service Needed?
We provide cabling and bracing services for several key reasons, primarily to enhance the structural integrity of trees. This technique is often used to support weak or damaged branches, reduce the risk of branch failure, and prolong the life of the tree.
Cabling and bracing can also help preserve valuable or historically significant trees, allowing them to continue thriving in their environment.
This service is typically recommended for trees that have:
1. Weak or V-shaped branch unions that are prone to splitting.
2. Heavy branches that are at risk of breaking under their weight.
3. Trees with multiple stems that need to be supported to prevent leaning or splitting.
4. Trees that have sustained damage from storms, pests, or disease and need additional support to recover.
Property owners, landscapers, and municipalities may seek cabling and bracing services for trees on their properties to mitigate safety risks, preserve tree health, and protect valuable assets.
