Reasons Your Tree May Need Cabling and Bracing

Tree cabling and bracing services play a significant role in preserving and extending the life of trees, while ensuring the safety of people and property. Leatherface Tree Service is committed to providing excellent tree cabling and bracing solutions to keep your trees healthy and strong for years to come. Our professional arborists have the skills, knowledge and experience needed to ensure your trees are properly supported and cared for.

Trees can often grow with structural inadequacies or face challenges that may prevent them from fully supporting their weight. These issues can lead to tree failure, property damage, and even personal injury if not properly addressed. 

Why Your Tree Might Require Extra Support:

  • Co-dominant stems: When a tree has two or more competing trunks, they can be prone to splitting or breaking, particularly under the weight of heavy foliage or during storms. Cabling and bracing can help prevent this by supporting weaker trunks.
  • Decay or other structural defects: Trees that have sustained damage through disease or injury may require cabling and bracing to prevent further decline and ensure stability.
  • Excessive growth: Trees that grow too large or heavy for support may require cabling and bracing to help maintain their structure and prevent potential damage.
  • Leaning trees: Trees that lean substantially may pose a safety hazard, particularly if they lean towards structures or pedestrian areas. Cabling and bracing can support and alleviate the risk of leaning trees.
  • Tree preservation: In some cases, a tree may hold historical or sentimental value and require cabling and bracing to preserve its structure and extend its life.

The Leatherface Tree Service team can assess your tree's needs and determine the best action. Our tree cabling and bracing service utilizes industry-standard techniques and materials to safely and effectively complete the job.

FAQs

How do I know if my tree needs cabling and bracing services?

Trees most in need of cabling and bracing services typically exhibit signs such as: Cracked or splitting trunks Heavy limbs that are growing horizontally or at sharp angles Trees with multiple trunks or V-shaped crotches Diseased or damaged trees that are still valuable to your landscape Trees that are exposed to severe wind or weather conditions If you see any of these signs or need clarification, it is best to consult a certified arborist to assess your tree's particular needs.

How are tree cabling and bracing services performed?

Cabling involves installing flexible steel or synthetic cables in the tree's crown to provide additional support and distribute weight evenly among branches. Bracing, on the other hand, refers to placing steel rods between weak branch unions or cracked limbs to prevent further splitting. These techniques are typically done together to ensure the best possible support and protection for your tree.

Is tree cabling and bracing service a one-time treatment for my tree?

Although cabling and bracing can significantly improve your tree's stability and safety, they do require regular maintenance. Trees grow and change over time, so cables and braces may need adjustment to ensure proper support. It is recommended to have a certified arborist inspect the cabling and bracing system every few years to check for potential issues and adjust as needed.

Can I perform tree cabling and bracing myself?

While it may be tempting to save money by attempting this service, trained professionals should only perform tree cabling and bracing. Certified arborists have the knowledge, experience and equipment to install cabling and bracing systems efficiently and safely.

How long does it take to install tree cabling and bracing?

The time required for tree cabling and bracing installation depends on various factors, such as the number of trees, the complexity of the support needed, and the tree's size. Generally, our team works efficiently to complete installations within a day for most residential properties. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.
