Cable bracing is used to support structurally weak trees that are susceptible to damage from winds, storms or even the weight of their own foliage. This support technique uses hardware (wire cables and/or rods) to make the tree more structurally stable. As Certified Arborists, it is our responsibility to safeguard people, property and the environment from potentially hazardous trees.

When Is Cable Bracing Required?

- Weak or Structurally Suspect Crotches in Tree
- The Appearance of a Crack at or Just Below a Crotch
- Tight "V" Crotch with Included Bark
- A Split at a Primary Trunk Crotch
- Multi-Stem Trees with Suspect Crotches
- Trees with Heavy Foliage
- Stress Damage from Wind, Weight of Snow, Rain, or Ice
