Cabling & Bracing

We install cable systems to:

1. Alleviate the pressure of a weak crotch system to ensure that your trees remain healthy and safe. When a branch's angle is less than 45 degrees, it can weaken over time, and this gradual weakness could cause a significant portion of the tree to fall over or collapse. Therefore, it is especially crucial to have any weak crotch systems identified and addressed before they become more severe. Don't wait until it's too late - act now to protect both your trees' health and safety!

2. Survival tip for young trees: If you notice visible cracks on a new tree, don't panic. With the help of cables and rods, we can support the tree as its roots establish themselves in the soil. This temporary bracing buys critical time for the young sapling to mature and thrive. Once firmly anchored, our cables will be removed, leaving behind a healthy oak that will stand tall for generations to come.

Corrective Pruning

Transform your landscape into a healthy environment for tree growth by hiring an experienced arborist to thin and prune your trees. Corrective pruning promotes the desired shape, while removing dead or dying branches reduces the risk of insect infestations, decay, and diseases. Thinning trees also allows sunlight to reach internal branches more thoroughly. Need more reasons to consider corrective pruning? It will nurture future growth for your beautiful landscape!
