Oak tree in need of bracing and cabling
You may wonder if you need this service. Often times we are brought out to properties to remove someone’s favorite tree because it lost a large limb or branch. Often times this branch loss could have been prevented if a cable and/or brace was installed.
Cables, if installed correctly, will help prolong the life of an older tree. A qualified certified arborist can help you decide if a cable is appropriate for your tree. You may think they will look unsightly, the next time you see a large majestic tree take a closer look, we would almost assure you it has a cable or 2 in it.
Bracing is usually used in combination with cabling. If your tree has split or may split you can add hardware to hold a split together tighter. If these practices are performed typically you can add multiple years to the life of a tree.
