Dependable Support Systems for Trees That Need a Helping Hand
Tree cabling and bracing are special methods we use to strengthen weak branches and trunks. These techniques help keep trees from breaking or falling over during bad weather or when they're carrying a lot of weight from foliage, snow, or ice. Because this work requires expertise to not damage trees, it should only be done by trained tree experts.
Here at Advantage Tree Service, an Arbor Masters company, we proudly serve Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and the greater Quad Cities area. We make sure every job is done safely and accurately, using top-quality equipment that meets important industry standards (ANSI A300) to give your trees the best care possible.
Our Tree Support Systems
Tree support systems help strengthen weak parts of trees so they can better handle harsh weather. Trees might need cabling and bracing if they weren't pruned correctly in the past or if they didn't weren’t properly trained to develop a strong structure. We often use cabling by itself, but sometimes we combine it with bracing for extra support.

When to Consider Cabling and Bracing for Your Trees
Cabling and bracing are proactive measures designed to support trees with weak or compromised structures. These techniques can reinforce branches, reduce the risk of failure or splitting, and support the weight of ice, snow, or heavy foliage. They can also extend the life of your trees by preventing damage and maintaining stability.
Some specific situations where cabling and bracing might be beneficial include:
Trees with Multiple Trunks
Trees with multiple trunks are more prone to splitting or falling, especially during stormy seasons. Cabling and bracing can stabilize these trunks and reduce the risk of them separating.
Trees with Heavy Limbs
Heavy limbs are at greater risk of breaking under stress from high winds or storms, especially in winter if covered in snow or ice. Our cabling and bracing techniques help support these limbs, reducing the risk of breakage and potential property damage.
Trees that have Been Damaged by Storms
If a tree has already suffered storm damage, cabling and bracing can prevent further injury and help keep the tree upright and healthy.
Trees Near Structures or High-Traffic Areas
Falling branches or trunks can cause significant damage to trees located close to buildings or high-traffic zones. Cabling and bracing help mitigate this risk by stabilizing vulnerable trees.
