The Basics of Cabling and Bracing
Tree cabling and tree bracing provide an extra support system for your tree, especially if it has sustained storm damage or features weak or splitting limbs. The process involves setting steel braces and cables in identified weak spots within a tree to prop up and stabilize branches. These techniques work in tandem to help your tree remain rooted and soar skyward. Cabling and bracing can also help lower the potential risk of falling limbs, making your yard a safer place for you and your family.
When Tree Cabling Is A Good Choice
Tree cabling is a preventative measure implemented for a variety of reasons, including:
- Split or weak limbs
- Limbs exhibiting a heavy lean
- Multiple dominant stems growing from the same trunk
- Damaged limbs due to storms
