Cabling and Bracing

Sometimes trees require additional support from cabling or bracing to help mitigate the risk of failure. There are various scenarios where this may be necessary. Typically it is done on trees with weak unions/attachments that are at risk of splitting or may have already begun to split. Depending on the circumstance we will recommend either a dynamic or a static cabling system for your tree. Most of our cabling is done in conjunction with reduction pruning to reduce the wind sail of larger limbs, which will help limit stress at any weak unions. After our team has installed the cable it is recommended that we schedule follow up appointments every 5 years to evaluate the cable(s) and the overall health of the tree.
