CABLES & BRACING

Cables and Braces are tools used to reduce the risk of tree failure and prolong the life and stability of a tree that exhibits structural traits that are less than ideal.  

They are tools best used in preventative practice before any structural traits or tree defects become hazardous.  They should not be used to fix a hazardous defect or hold a failing tree together.  

Every tree is unique and should be considered for Bracing on a case by case basis, taking into account a variety of factors.  If a bracing system is installed, the system and tree should be monitored and inspected regularly to ensure the continued safety and stability of each.  

These systems should also be preceded by a Structural Prune to alleviate and mitigate the risks associated with the structural traits in question.

We will let you know if your tree is a candidate for Bracing.
