Cabling and Bracing
Our tree cabling and tree bracing services
If you’ve been told a tree is in danger of falling or that a tree on your property has weak limbs that need to be trimmed, let’s talk.
While in some cases tree removal or pruning will be the best option, often bracing and tree cabling are all it takes to keep your tree structurally sound, healthy and happy.
Our professionally installed tree cabling and tree bracing systems:
• Prevent broken and lost limbs
• Minimize the risk of tree/branch failure
• Provide protection to anything beneath the tree: home, property, people, and pets
• Straighten a tree that is tilted or leaning
• Add strength and support to the tree during ice, snow, and wind storms throughout the seasons
We are available to work throughout the Little Rock metro area. Call to talk about your project and to request a quote.
Put your trust in our tree cabling professionals
We have years of experience caring for and bracing/cabling trees in Central Arkansas. Less experienced tree care professionals have been known to cable a tree too tightly, causing damage to the tree at the cabling/bracing site. And if the cable is too slack, it’s not doing its job to keep the tree strong and steady. We’ve braced hundreds of trees and know how to do the job right.
Every tree cabling job we tackle requires a unique approach guided by the needs of your tree, the layout of your property, and other factors. We’ll carefully assess the health of your tree, answer any questions you have, and create a plan that’s in your best interests.
FAQs
-
Cabling and bracing are methods used to add structural support to weak or damaged tree branches and trunks. By installing cables and braces, we can help prevent breakage from storms or heavy winds, reduce the risk of injury or property damage, and extend the life of your trees, especially for mature trees with historic or aesthetic value.
-
Common signs include large, heavy branches that seem weak, a visible split in the trunk, or branches that hang precariously over structures. If you’re unsure, our certified arborists can assess the tree’s structure and health to determine if cabling and bracing would be beneficial.
-
While cabling and bracing can greatly increase a tree’s stability, they typically require periodic inspections to ensure they remain effective. The hardware may need adjustment or replacement over time as the tree grows and environmental conditions change.
-
In many cases, yes! Cabling and bracing can help salvage trees that have structural weaknesses or damage, provided the tree is still healthy overall. It’s a viable option to keep valuable trees safe and reduce the likelihood of needing removal, especially when done early.
