The Importance of Tree Support Systems
Cabling and bracing are vital services for trees, but homeowners do not take advantage of these services from tree care companies as much as they should. Having a professional install tree support systems has numerous benefits for you and your trees, including:
Our Tree Support Process
We follow a standard procedure every time we cable and brace your trees to make the process easier for you and us. When you hire us to cable and brace your tree, the process will look like this:
Initial Consultation
We’ll examine your tree’s condition and advise you on the best tree support technique to protect it.
Provide a Quote
Once we know what we’ll need to do, we’ll provide a detailed electronic quote for the process and cost.
Develop a Plan
Our team will come up with a plan for your tree, including selecting the right materials and equipment.
Preparation
We may prune branches that are too weak for a tree support system to help before cabling anything.
Install Support
Our team will install any cables or braces while following ANSI A300 standards and provide the necessary support for your tree.

When Cabling and Bracing Are Needed
Cabling and bracing can help trees that have been damaged by storms or have structural weaknesses. It can be difficult for most people to identify trees that need this support, which is why our expert ISA Certified Arborists can provide accurate assessments. We typically recommend cabling and bracing for trees that exhibit the following signs:
Trees with Heavy Limbs: Tree limbs that grow overly long or too heavy are more prone to breaking from wind or storm damage.
Trees with Storm Damage: Storms can significantly weaken trees and sections, leaving them more prone to breaking in subsequent storms.
Trees Growing Near Structures: Trees near structures pose more significant risks when they fail, and stabilizing them can protect property and people.
Trees with Multiple Trunks: A tree with multiple trunks is more prone to failure than one with a singular trunk.

Tree Support Systems FAQs
While our cabling equipment is durable, it will not last forever. Cables will wear down over time due to the elements, and a tree's natural growth will lessen a cable's effectiveness. Have an arborist examine your structural support yearly to determine if they need to replace it.
While cabling and bracing will increase your tree’s safety, there is no way to make a tree 100 percent safe. Always use caution around a tree, especially during a storm.
Cabling and bracing often go together, as they work well in conjunction. We may suggest only cabling for your tree, but bracing is only ever done with cabling.
