Emergency Tree Bracing & Cabling Services
⚙️ What Is Tree Bracing or Cabling?
Tree bracing and cabling are methods of providing extra structural support to trees using either:
- Flexible steel cables or high-tensile synthetic ropes (cabling)
- Rigid rods or bolts (bracing)
They are used to stabilise split limbs, support heavy lateral branches, or prevent failure in trees with weak crotches or poor structure.
Tree Bracing Expertise
🧠 When Do You Need Tree Support Systems?
- Cracks or splits forming between main limbs
- Long, heavy branches extending far from the trunk
- Mature trees showing signs of stress after storms
- Multi-stem trees with weak unions
- Preserving historically or ecologically valuable trees
- Reducing risk near paths, buildings, driveways, or public areas
Our arborists carry out a full risk assessment and recommend the right support system tailored to your tree and environment.
