Cabling & Bracing

Expert Tree Cabling Services

Sometimes trees aren’t sturdy enough to support themselves, especially when there’s heavy fruit that bears on the limbs, bad root systems, decay, or cracked limbs. Cabling and bracing will help deter the tree from splitting right in half due to its weak structure. At Kingkiner Tree Service, we have several tools to minimize damage to the cambium layer of the tree while providing a maximum amount of support.

Why Tree Cabling and Bracing?

Trees are a valuable part of our landscape, offering shade, beauty, and environmental benefits. However, sometimes, they can become a safety hazard due to structural weaknesses or natural factors. This is where Kingkiner Tree Service steps in with our specialized tree cabling and bracing services.

Tree Cabling vs. Tree Bracing

Tree cabling involves installing cables or high-strength steel wires in the upper branches or canopy. These cables are typically attached to bolts or anchors in the tree structure. The primary goal of cabling is to reduce the risk of branch failure or the splitting of trunks by redistributing the tree's structural loads. It helps in maintaining the overall integrity of the tree's crown. 

At Kingkiner Tree Service, our professionals will assess the tree's condition and determine where tree support cables are needed and at what tension. Cables can be adjusted over time to accommodate the tree's growth and changes in structure, and our team provides regular inspections to ensure the cables are still effective.

Tree bracing involves attaching braces or rods to the trunk or branches of a tree to provide additional support. These braces are usually made of steel or other high-strength materials. The purpose of bracing is to stabilize weak or split crotches (the point where two branches or stems join) or to support limbs showing signs of structural weakness. Just like cabling, our professionals will assess the tree's condition and determine the most appropriate locations for braces.

Benefits of Tree Cabling Services

Tree cabling is an essential technique that offers numerous benefits for both the trees and property owners. Here are the key advantages:

  1. Safety Enhancement: Cabling and bracing can help prevent hazardous situations by supporting weak or structurally compromised trees. This reduces the risk of falling branches or entire trees, which can cause property damage and personal injury.

  2. Tree Preservation: Cabling and bracing can extend the life of a tree, allowing it to continue providing shade, beauty, and environmental benefits. This is especially valuable for mature or historic trees.

  3. Structural Reinforcement: Trees with split trunks or weak branch attachments can benefit from cabling and bracing. These techniques provide additional support, reducing the likelihood of structural failure.

  4. Minimize Damage During Storms: Cabled and braced trees are more resilient during storms, as the support systems help distribute the stress and weight of heavy winds and precipitation. This minimizes the risk of branches breaking or the tree uprooting.

  5. Reduced Liability: Property owners can be liable for damages or injuries caused by falling trees or branches. Cabling and bracing demonstrate a commitment to tree safety and may reduce liability concerns.
