High-Quality Oklahoma City Tree Support Systems

Arbor Masters Tree Support Systems

Trees are tough, but they aren’t invincible. Sometimes, a tree naturally develops weakened sections. In other instances, storm damage weakens part of a tree and makes it prone to breaking. Arbor Masters tree support systems can help stabilize your trees and make them safer.

Tree Support Systems Can Save You a Headache

With cabling and bracing, you can save yourself the headache of having to worry about broken branches damaging your property. Request a free quote online to see if your trees can benefit from a structural support system. 

Cabling

Our team can install static steel cables or dynamic braided nylon calves that provide extra support for trees. We suggest cabling for your tree if it has weak branches, overly long branches, or weak stem unions.

Bracing

We’ll suggest bracing in conjunction with cabling for trees with a split union. Bracing involves inserting a steel rod through the weak portions of a tree to stabilize them and limit twisting.

Why You Should Consider Cabling and Bracing for Your Trees

Not many homeowners understand the importance of tree support systems or even know what they are. Some of the reasons to consider cabling and bracing for your trees include:

Making trees safer:

Trees are a real asset to your property, but they can become dangerous in a hurry when not correctly cared for. While no tree can be made totally safe, cabling and bracing lowers the risk of broken branches causing injuries. 

Saving money:

Cabling and bracing help improve your tree’s health, potentially saving you from the higher cost of tree removal. Supporting the tree is a far more affordable option than full removal in most cases.

Protecting you and your neighbors:

Falling branches or toppled trees can cause major damage to your home or your neighbor’s. Cabling and bracing help reinforce weak sections of your tree, preventing costly property damage for both you and your neighbors.

When Trees Need Cabling and Bracing

Tree support systems aren’t required for every tree. However, some situations where cabling and bracing are worth considering include:

Storm-Damaged Trees:

High winds or lightning can weaken sections of trees, and cabling and bracing provide support to help prevent further damage.

Trees Near Structures:

Trees close to buildings pose a risk if they have weak branches, which could break and damage windows, roofs, or siding.

Trees With Heavy Limbs:

When limbs grow too long or become too heavy, the tree may struggle to support them, making cabling and bracing essential for safety.
