Tree cabling and bracing is performed to protect valuable trees. By installing cables, bolts, and/or braces, a tree can be better protected from high winds or ice storms. Trees with multiple stems, splits, weak limbs, or weak points in the wood may make cabling a necessity in order to protect them. Whenever the situation warrants it, your Arborist may make recommendations for this specialized tree care procedure.

Tree cabling and bracing is a procedure that should only be performed by a trained arborist. Incorrect cabling can do more harm than good, and can actually make your tree weaker. It is important that this work be recommended by an Arborist and carried out by the tree care professionals.

Cabling and bracing are valuable procedures in preserving your mature and irreplaceable trees.
