Tree Cabling and Bracing Services With Arbor Care Tree Specialists
Some trees need a little extra support to remain safe, healthy, and beautiful.
At Arbor Care Tree Specialists, we offer expert cabling and bracing services to help reinforce weak branches, protect valuable trees, and reduce the risk of structural failure.
What Is Tree Cabling and Bracing?
Cabling and bracing are structural support techniques used to stabilize trees with weak limbs, split trunks, or compromised structures.
Common Reasons For Tree Removal
- Cabling involves installing high-strength steel cables between major limbs to reduce movement and stress during high winds or heavy loads.
- Bracing uses rigid rods installed through weak or split sections to provide direct, internal support.
Both methods help extend the life of trees that might otherwise be at risk of failure, preserving their beauty and protecting surrounding property.
When Is Cabling and Bracing Recommended?
Cabling and bracing may be appropriate if a tree shows signs of:
- A split or cracked trunk
- Overextended or heavy limbs
- Weak branch attachments (common in species like maple and oak)
- Structural defects caused by storms or improper pruning
- Preservation goals for historic or high-value trees
Our ISA Certified Arborists carefully assess each tree to determine whether structural support is necessary—or if alternative actions like Pruning or Tree Removal are more appropriate.
