Cabling & Bracing Methods

We specialize in providing essential support and reinforcement for weak or damaged tree branches. Our skilled professionals employ a range of specialized methods and equipment to ensure a safe and effective cabling process, tailored to the unique needs of your trees and property. With years of experience and a commitment to quality, we're dedicated to preserving the health, safety, and beauty of your trees through our expert cabling solutions.

Cabling

This method involves attaching cables to branches to provide support and reduce the risk of breakage. Cables are typically made of galvanized steel or synthetic materials and are installed using specialized hardware, such as thimbles, ferrules, and turnbuckles. Most commonly, we use wire stops as this is the least invasive method and retains 100% of cable strength.

Bracing

Bracing involves installing rods or braces between branches to provide additional support and improve structural stability. Braces are typically made of galvanized steel or aluminum and are attached using specialized hardware, such as bolts, washers, and nuts.

Dynamic Cabling & Bracing

This method combines the benefits of both cabling and bracing, using specialized equipment such as flexible cables to provide support while allowing for some natural movement and flexibility. These cables usually limit the maximum distance that a limb is able to move, adding support and avoiding stress while still allowing the tree to grow naturally
