Trees with a structural defect or condition that may pose a high risk of failure can often be saved with a supplemental support system such as tree cabling and bracing.
Safe, effective cabling and bracing requires considerable experience. A trained professional arborist can identify the signs of structural weakness and properly determine if a cabling or bracing system is appropriate. Incorrect installation can do more harm than good and should be inspected periodically by a certified tree specialist who knows what to look for.
A tree service professional can identify weak limbs and large co-dominant stems for signals that a tree may benefit from a supplemental support system. The cabling techniques we use can be very effective for extending the life of a structurally flawed tree.
The cables and braces should be inspected periodically and should be combined with proper pruning to further reduce the risk of tree failure and potential injury or property damage.
If you are concerned about any of your trees or believe they may be unsound, let us help you determine the best course of action.
