What Is Tree Cabling and Bracing?
Cabling and bracing are proactive support techniques used to strengthen trees with structural weaknesses.
-
Tree cabling involves installing high-strength steel cables between major limbs to redistribute weight and reduce movement during high winds or storms.
-
Bracing uses threaded rods to support split or weakened trunks and limbs, adding internal reinforcement.
These systems are carefully installed and maintained to allow for natural tree growth while reducing the risk of failure.
When Tree Support Systems Are Needed
​Not every tree needs extra support—but when they do, early intervention is key. Cabling and bracing may be recommended for:
-
Split or Cracked Trunks and Limbs
Prevent further separation and preserve the tree’s structure.
-
Co-dominant Stems
Trees with two main trunks can split over time without added support.
-
Heavy or Overextended Limbs
Reduce the chance of limb breakage over high-traffic areas, homes, or driveways.
-
Historic or High-Value Trees
Protect mature or sentimental trees you want to preserve for years to come.
-
Storm-Damaged Trees
Stabilize damaged trees that are still viable but structurally compromised.
