What cabling and bracing includes
A real structural evaluation of the tree by an arborist.
Support cables installed high in the canopy to limit movement of weak limbs.
Brace rods through split or weak trunk unions where cables alone are not enough.
The honest alternative: if support will not make the tree safe, I will say so.
Follow-up inspection guidance so the hardware keeps doing its job.
How it works
1. Call me, or leave your number and I will call you back.
2. I evaluate the tree's structure and explain what is failing and why.
3. You get an honest quote for support, pruning, or both.
4. I install the hardware carefully and leave the site clean.
Questions homeowners ask about cabling
Can a splitting tree be saved?
Often, yes. If the split is caught early and the wood is still sound, cables and brace rods can hold the union together and take the strain off it. The honest answer depends on how far the split has gone, which is exactly what I look at on the walkthrough.
How long do tree cables last?
Good hardware lasts many years, often decades, but it should be inspected every few years and after major storms. Trees grow, and a cable set for the tree of ten years ago may need adjustment for the tree of today.
Is cabling better than removal?
When the tree is healthy, valuable, and structurally sound enough to support, yes. It costs less than removing a mature tree and you keep the shade and the character of the yard. When the tree is too far gone, support hardware just delays the inevitable, and I will tell you that plainly.
