Why You May Need Tree Cabling or Bracing

Sometimes, older trees can begin to have difficulty supporting their weight and finding room to grow. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as how the tree grew in the first place. Severe storms over time can also affect older trees and how they hold themselves up. Unfortunately, when this happens, it can be difficult to know how to best take care of the old tree. While nobody wants to tear an old tree down if they don’t have to, certain steps have to be taken to ensure that the tree doesn’t become a safety issue.

This is where tree cabling and bracing come in. If you have an old tree that needs help holding its weight, we can help! Our tree cabling and bracing services allow us to strengthen the tree branches and alleviate some stress that the tree may be experiencing.

Help Old Trees Stay Healthy

There are many ways to help old trees continue to thrive and stay healthy. Deep root feeding can help fertilize the soil that the tree is growing in. However, if the tree is experiencing great stress because of its weight, cabling and bracing may be the only option to keep it healthy. This also allows the tree to keep from accidentally damaging your yard or property because of its weight! Therefore, tree bracing and cabling are incredibly beneficial, especially for very old trees in your yard.

How does tree cabling keep a tree safe?
When older trees can no longer easily support their own weight, cabling helps lift that weight and stress off of it. This keeps trees from falling apart and dying, which helps keep them healthy and safe. Cabling, therefore, also helps keep homeowners safe!
Does cabling hurt a tree?
When done properly, cabling does not hurt a tree. However, this should only be done by trained, certified professionals. Homeowners or people who do not know what they’re doing could potentially harm a tree and make the situation worse. Therefore, work with arborists who know what they’re doing!
Can you save a dying tree with tree cabling?
Unfortunately, you cannot save a dying tree with cabling. Cabling only helps trees that are dealing with growth and stress problems. However, if your tree is already dying and unhealthy from other factors, cabling will not heal the tree.
