Quality Tree Cabling Services

Tree cabling uses extra high strength cables to hold a tree branch in place. This process helps create support systems for weak branches, and it can guide a tree's growth in the right direction. It uses cables to stabilize a tree's physical structure in cases where the tree can no longer support its own weight.

The best line of defense against failing trees is a strong offense. If you notice weak spots or multiple crotches (areas where the tree limbs separate), you can use tree cabling to reduce the risk of limb failure.

This is true even if the tree in question is healthy. Adding a few tree cables or bracing rods now can prevent further problems down the road.

let's cover some signs that your trees need structural reinforcement.

Splitting

Splitting tree limbs and branches are a sign that the tree is on the verge of overextending itself. Splitting occurs near crotches, but can also happen on the trunk.

In some climates, sunscald can cause young trees or those with thin bark to split and weaken. This happens when the warm sun during the day heats up the surface of the bark but then cools down rapidly at night.

Heavy or Overextended Limbs

Some tree branches are overloaded by fruit or nuts. This added weight can weaken individual branches and limbs and also put added pressure on the trunk.

Snow and ice also place excess weight on tree limbs, increasing the risk of breakage, personal injury, and property damage.

Preventative methods are best for these situations. Proper pruning and maintenance during the warmer months can reduce the risk of compromised limbs come winter. In the fall, cabling is recommended to protect your trees from spores in the air.

You can also add cables and braces to distribute weight and provide the trunk with the support it needs to thrive.
