Secure Your Trees, Protect Your Property
Some of the most magnificent trees on our properties are also the ones that carry the greatest risk. Mature trees with sprawling branches or multiple trunks can develop structural weaknesses over time, posing a threat to your home, family, and the tree’s own survival. While removal might seem like the only option, there is often a better, more preservative solution. At Brussell’s Lawn & Tree, we offer specialized tree cabling and bracing services designed to provide structural support, mitigate risks, and extend the life of your most cherished trees.
This proactive technique is a blend of arboricultural science and engineering, providing a lifeline to trees with structural defects. It allows you to preserve the beauty and character of a mature tree while gaining peace of mind. Let us help you safeguard your landscape’s most valuable assets for years to come.
Identifying the need for structural support early can prevent a catastrophic failure. While some signs are obvious, others require a trained eye to notice. If you notice any of the following indicators on your property, it’s time to call a professional for an assessment.
These distinct formations, where two stems emerge closely and create a narrow 'V' angle, often indicate a weak point in the tree's structure. Unlike a strong 'U' shaped union, 'V' crotches lack the proper connecting wood, making them highly susceptible to splitting, especially under stress from wind or ice.
Any visible cracks or separations, particularly where major branches attach to the main trunk, are critical red flags. These fissures suggest internal stress or decay that compromises the tree's integrity and can lead to sudden failure of the branch or trunk without warning.
Branches that extend unusually far horizontally, or those carrying significant weight, exert tremendous leverage on their attachment points. This prolonged stress, compounded by environmental factors like strong winds, rain, or snow, can make these limbs vulnerable to breakage, posing a significant hazard.
When a tree develops two or more main trunks that grow upward from a single point of origin, these are known as co-dominant stems. This growth pattern inherently creates a weaker union compared to a single, dominant leader, making the tree prone to splitting apart as it matures and the trunks gain weight.
While some trees naturally grow with a slight lean, a sudden or increasingly pronounced lean in an established tree is a serious concern. This often points to root system failure, soil instability, or a critical structural weakness that demands immediate professional assessment to prevent a complete tree collapse.
At Brussell’s Lawn & Tree, we execute cabling and bracing with precision, safety, and a deep understanding of tree biology. Our process ensures the support system is effective, long-lasting, and minimally invasive to the tree.
Every project begins with a thorough evaluation by our experienced arborist. We inspect the tree’s overall health, identify specific structural defects, and assess the precise forces that need to be managed. This initial diagnosis allows us to understand your tree's unique needs.
Based on our assessment, we create a strategic support plan. This involves determining the optimal placement for cables or braces and selecting the appropriate system type, from dynamic, flexible designs to rigid steel configurations.
We then precisely calculate the tension and angles required to provide effective support without impeding natural growth. We finalize the selection of high-quality, durable hardware, ensuring it integrates seamlessly and provides maximum benefit.
Our skilled arborists use specialized equipment and adhere to the highest industry safety standards for installation. We carefully drill to place the hardware, ensuring the tree's vascular system remains undisturbed. Cables and rods are then secured to provide immediate, robust stability.
A cabling and bracing system requires active management. We provide clear guidance on what to expect and recommend periodic inspections. As the tree grows and conditions change, the system may need adjustments to ensure it continues to provide effective support and accommodate natural development.
Investing in professional cabling and bracing offers tangible benefits that go far beyond saving a single tree. It is a strategic decision that protects your entire property and landscape.
