CABLE BRACING

CABLE & BRACING PROVIDES A STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND INTEGRITY

Newer DYNAMIC CABLING systems are made from synthetic fabric roping and sling attachments and the provides the “give” in the dynamic cabling allows for more natural movement in the tree.

Traditional STATIC CABLING systems are made from high-strength, long-lasting steel wire and hardware, and allow for very little movement in the tree.

Tree cabling and bracing is a proactive and preventative technique to support a tree with poor or weak structure.

It is commonly used to reduce stress damage on your tree from high winds, weight of ice or snow, and heavy foliage.

At Davey, we install flexible steel strand cables and braces to help strengthen weak branches or limbs.

Your local Davey tree doctor can help you identify weak points and examine bark or large codominant stems, which can be signals of tree weakness that need tree cabling and bracing.

Maintenance following tree cable and brace installation is minimal but also important, and the hardware should be inspected periodically by a professional arborist.

Sometimes even healthy trees fail, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Weakened trees can be high risk trees, and not all hazards are obvious.

Watch for some of these warning tree signs:

Your tree is leaning, buckling or heaving up the soil at the base of the tree

An unbalanced or sparse canopy appears with several dead branches

Internal or external cavities, cracks or seams of wood occur

A professional tree service can provide a tree health and tree risk assessment

PREPARE YOUR TREES FOR HURRICANE SEASON. GIVE THEM THE SUPPORT THEY NEED FOR.

CABLE AND BRACING IS AN INEXPENSIVE INSURANCE POLICY FOR YOUR TREES & PROPERTY.
