Tree Cabling & Bracing Services in Twin Cities

When it comes to the health and safety of your residential or commercial property’s trees, it’s important to trust the expertise of the professional arborists at Bratt Tree Company.

One challenge many tree owners face is what to do with a weaker tree. While some may jump to tree removal, there are safe and effective alternatives you can consider, like tree cabling and bracing. This preventative technique supports a tree with poor structure and is used to decrease stress and damage caused by strong winds, ice, snow, and dense foliage.

Trust Bratt Tree Company for all your plant healthcare and pruning needs. Call (612) 721-4153 or contact us online today to request service.

What Is Cabling & Bracing?

Cabling and bracing are protective measures that can prevent a large branch or an entire tree from splitting and falling.

Bratt Tree Company uses flexible steel cables and braces to support weaker branches or limbs. Our team can work with you to assess your trees and pinpoint weak points that need to be addressed to stop future storm damage and tree loss.

We’ll evaluate your bark and look for weak branch intersections known as codominant stems and other signs of weak branches. After your cabling and bracing installation, your trees and hardware will need to be monitored and periodically maintained by our expert team. 

Learn more about how cabling and bracing can help support your weaker trees from our ISA Certified Arborists. Call (612) 721-4153 or contact us online now to request a free estimate.

Signs Your Twin Cities Tree Needs Cabling and Bracing

An experienced professional can identify trees that need extra attention, but there are signs you can look out for as well:

  • Large branches close to or over your home
  • Codominant stems, branches, and trunks
  • A V-shaped tree crotch
  • Large, overextended limbs
  • A tree that’s already lost a main branch
  • Weak or asymmetrical branch structure

If you notice any of these signs in your trees, Bratt Tree Company can help you determine if your tree needs to be removed or can be saved with pruning, cabling, and bracing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cabling & Bracing

How effective is tree cabling and bracing?

Cabling and bracing can significantly reduce the risk of a tree failing due to structural challenges, storms, or other factors. When correctly done and regularly inspected/maintained, cabling/bracing can last upward of 40 years. No tree is ever guaranteed against failure, but these methods can prolong the life of a tree by decades.

Can cabling and bracing harm my trees?

If performed improperly, yes. An ISA Certified Arborist with the necessary knowledge and expertise can cable and brace your trees without damaging them.

How often do I need to schedule maintenance for tree cabling and bracing?

We recommend a visual inspection annually. Every five years, have a climbing inspection done. Expect cabling and bracing to last 20 years or more, but inspections and maintenance will minimize issues with cables, hardware, and the tree itself.
