Some trees need a little extra support to grow strong and safe. When heavy limbs, weak branch unions, or structural issues put your trees at risk, cabling and bracing can provide the stability they need. At Badger Tree Service, we specialize in tree support systems that protect both your trees and your property.
With an ISA Certified Arborist on staff, we’ll carefully assess your tree and determine if cabling and bracing is the right solution to preserve its health and prevent potential hazards.
What is Tree Cabling & Bracing?
Tree cabling and bracing are proven arborist techniques used to reinforce weak or unstable trees without removing them:
- Cabling uses high-strength steel or synthetic cables installed in the upper canopy to reduce stress on weak branch unions and distribute weight evenly.
- Bracing involves installing steel rods through weak or split trunks and branches to provide rigid support.
Together, these systems help extend the life of valuable trees, reduce storm damage risks, and improve safety on your property.
When Cabling & Bracing May Be Needed
Our team recommends support systems for situations such as:
- Large, heavy limbs prone to breaking
- Split or cracked tree trunks
- Weak branch unions (often seen in “V” shaped crotches)
- Mature trees with historic or sentimental value
- Trees located near homes, driveways, or power lines
Instead of removing a tree, cabling and bracing can often preserve it safely for many years.
