When a beautiful, mature tree develops a structural weakness, you might think removal is your only option. However, in many cases, we can preserve the tree and mitigate the risk by installing professional cabling and bracing systems. This specialized service is a proactive solution that provides supplemental support to weak branches or trunks, protecting your valuable tree from storm damage and extending its life for many years to come.

This preservation technique is ideal for trees with specific structural concerns. If your tree has heavy, overextended limbs, V-shaped or split unions, or has sustained damage in a storm, it may be a perfect candidate. Under the direction of our ISA Certified Arborist, Will Mann, we first perform a thorough assessment to determine the tree’s structural integrity. If cabling and bracing is the right solution, we install high-strength steel cables in the upper canopy and/or threaded steel rods through the weakened sections. These systems work together to reduce stress, limit excessive movement, and provide the stability the tree needs to withstand high winds, ice, and heavy foliage.

Installing a support system is a science that requires a deep understanding of tree biology and physics. An improperly installed system can do more harm than good. Our expert installation ensures the hardware supports the tree effectively without restricting its growth or health. Choosing to cable and brace a tree is an investment in preserving the beauty and value of your landscape.
