PROFESSIONAL TREE CABLING AND BRACING

Your trees are an asset to your property. Keeping your trees in tip-top shape is essential to retain their value. Cabling and bracing can assist your trees when poor or weak structure, heavy foliage growth, exposure to harmful environmental conditions, and other damaging factors threaten your trees’ health and safety and the environment around them.

Cables and braces are artificial supports composed of steel permanently installed in the tree to help reduce stresses on weak crotches and branch attachments. These supports help make the tree more structurally stable and also help the tree withstand harmful conditions such as high winds and storms. If you have cables and braces, periodic inspections by a certified arborist to monitor for changes in the tree that may affect the efficiency of the system will help keep the system in good working order.

CLEANLY AND SAFELY PRUNING YOUR TREE ROOTS

Construction equipment not only tears and shreds tree roots when digging but can also adversely affect the root zone and tree trunk if carelessly operated. Using specially designed saws, tree roots can be cleanly pruned in a safe, controlled fashion and backfilled to ensure proper healing for successful future growth. Tree protection can include stacking boards around tree trunks to protect them from bumps and collisions or installing temporary fencing to create a perimeter around the root zone.

By pruning and protecting the roots of trees in the vicinity of construction or digging projects, equipment and mechanized digging devices can be prevented from compromising overall tree health and structural stability. As an alternative to tree removal, tree root pruning and tree protection can help protect your investment in one of the best yet slowest growing assets on your property.
