Our Tree Support Systems
In Liberty, Parkville, Riverside, North Kansas City, and Smithville, tree support systems, such as cabling and bracing, are vital for maintaining the health and safety of trees. These systems provide additional support to weak branches or compromised stem unions, reducing their potential to break or split under stress.
Cabling can be applied independently, but bracing is often used in conjunction with cabling for added reinforcement. At Arbor Masters, we adhere to ANSI A300 standards for the type and size of hardware used in our tree support systems.

Signs Your Tree Needs Cabling and Bracing
Cabling and bracing are designed to support trees with weak or compromised structures. If you notice any of the following signs, it may indicate that your tree needs a little extra support:
Cracks or Splits in the Trunk or Branches: These can be caused by stress, disease, or decay.
Leaning or Tilting Trees: A tree that is leaning or tilting may be unstable and at risk of falling.
Weak or Broken Branches: Weak or broken branches can be a sign of structural problems within the tree.
Co-dominant Stem Unions: When two or more main stems grow from the same point on the trunk, it can create a weak point that is susceptible to failure.
Large, Heavy Branches: Trees with large, heavy branches are more likely to experience stress and breakage.
Storm Damage: Trees that have been damaged by storms may need cabling and bracing to prevent further damage.
Signs of Disease or Decay: Trees that are infected with diseases or decay are more likely to have weakened branches and trunks.
