Cabling & Bracing

The goal of cabling and bracing a tree is to provide support to the tree.  Cabling & Bracing adds strength to weak branches, which supports the tree against the weight of strong winds and ice.   These measures boost the tree when strong winds or ice add weight to the tree.

Reasons for Cabling and Bracing a tree:

• Prevention-Cabling a tree keeps the trees strong and prevents the tree from splitting and causing harm.
• Restoration-Tree cabling helps create support to weak branches and assists the trees to grow in the correct directions.
• Mitigation-by taking in the structural status of the tree, weak areas can be cabled or braced to shore the tree.
