Trees Tree Bracing & Cabling
Contact Us
Bracing and cabling are popular methods of providing structural support to your trees. Most mature trees grow limbs and branches that become too heavy, and the trunk is unable to support this weight. This causes a lot of stress on the structure of the tree. Trees that have open canopies and several trunks have the highest risk of structural failure. Trees that fail can lead to property damage, injuries, and irreparable damages to the tree. Bracing and cabling by a highly skilled arborist will help in maintaining the structural integrity of the tree.
What id Bracing and Cabling
Arborists install rigid bracing rods and flexible cables to assist in supporting weak branches, the redistribution of structural stress, and adjusting split trunks or limbs. All this is done to improve and protect the structural integrity of your trees. The canopy weight tends to have a higher effect on mature trees than the younger ones. It is prone to heavy snow, storms, and the weight of wet foliage. Properly placed cables can provide some support that trees can use.
You can also use a cable to hold up low branches to offer the right clearance over a roof, driveway, and walkway. In some cases, it is much easier to do cabling than having to remove the branch. However, this depends on the situation, location, and time of the year.
U-shaped branches tend to be stronger than the narrow V-shaped ones. Trees that have a narrow-angle may develop vertical splits down the trunk or branch. You can use cables alongside a bracing rod to protect your trees from further damage.
Cabling
Cabling minimizes the excess limb motion. The process entails attaching a steel flexible cable between the branches of trees to offer support. It prevents both crotch and branch stress. When you place these cables correctly, they will redistribute the limb weight that the truck should support.
Bracing
The bracing system offers supplemental support for your try by limiting the movement of individual limbs and branches. It comprises threaded bolts and rods to secure the trunks, crotches, and limbs that are weak, split, about to split or display signs of potential failure.
