Tree Cabling & Bracing Throughout Johnson County

While cabling and bracing can be applied to many tree species, the suitability depends on various factors. Trees with severe diseases or structural weaknesses may not be ideal candidates, and very large or mature trees may require specialized techniques or additional support. The specific issue being addressed, such as weak branches or co-dominant stems, will also influence the appropriate method.

When you request a quote, our arborist will assess your tree thoroughly and determine if cabling or bracing is a viable option.

Although cabling and bracing can be visible, it’s important to remember that these support systems are installed with one goal in mind – to preserve the health and longevity of the tree. Cables are often installed high in the tree canopy and take a keen eye to be seen.

The lifespan of a tree support system depends on many things, including the materials used, how well it's installed, and how often it's checked and maintained. High-quality materials, like strong steel or weather-resistant ropes, can help the system last longer. It's really important to have a professional arborist install the system correctly. And regularly checking the system and fixing any problems can also help it last longer.

While minimal risks are associated with cabling and bracing when performed by qualified professionals, it is crucial to select a reputable company with experienced arborists. Incorrect installation can lead to potential damage to the tree or pose safety hazards.  Additionally, overloading the tree or subjecting it to excessive stress can compromise the integrity of the support system. Natural disasters, such as severe storms, can also strain trees and their bracing.

To mitigate risks, it is advisable to collaborate with a qualified arborist and adhere to their recommended maintenance practices.
