Our skilled tree service professionals will provide cabling and bracing in Antioch, California. Our certified arborists will evaluate your tree and decide the best avenue of action for support in order for your tree to continue growing.
Understanding Bracing And Cabling
For Trees
Tree bracing and tree cabling are the two techniques used for additional support for mature trees that have possibly grown in a way that is not safe or sustainable for the tree’s health. Cabling and bracing are applied for support to critical areas of the tree by limiting branch movement. Certified tree specialists install steel cables into the tree’s trunk and secure them with heavy bolts into the upper crown.
When bracing is used, our team at Tree Service Antioch place them between the branches to offer additional support to the tree’s structure. Tree cabling and tree bracing will provide added support during the tree’s continued growth and prevent movement from storms and high winds.
What Causes The Lack Of Structural Support In Trees?
Trees can grow in different ways that can be unsafe:
It can be the characteristics of a tree species which can grow a few codominant stems which can lead to structural issues. Codominant stems are weaker than your average tree stem, connecting to the truck.
Location can come into play as well. When trees are growing in an awkward area like being near a structure, or battling with other trees, it can lead to uneven growth.
Young trees need to be pruned on a regular basis to shape the trees. Poor tree care can lead to many issues. If poor pruning or incorrect pruning is performed the tree can overextend with heavy branches which can lead to a weakened state.
Cabling And Bracing Vs Tree Removal
In some cases, a homeowner might have a tree removed because of structural support issues which can cause safety issues. No one wants family or friends in a situation where there might be a risk from a tree. What they might not know, cabling and bracing can correct the problem and even prevent falling branches. Here are three situations where using these techniques can solve the problem:
If you want to prevent tree or branch failure, there are steps you can take with your tree service. If you see a tree that has large codominant stems, known as V-crotches, you can prevent future problems by cabling and bracing the tree before it’s too late.
Support a tree after a storm. When a storm or high winds hit, it can cause the tree to lose its leading branch. Tree bracing and tree cabling can help support other leaders which will now be exposed.
Prevent hazards. When a mature tree with multiple stems is growing over a structure, it can lead to a potential hazard for everyone and everything around it. Tree bracing and tree cabling can reduce the risk of danger associated with a particular tree. If you need our service, please do not hesitate to call us Tree Service Antioch.
