Service
Cabling & Bracing — Lyme & Hanover, NH
Structural support systems that keep compromised trees standing safely.
Some trees are worth saving — even when structural failure is a real risk. Cabling and bracing use high-strength steel cables and hardware in the crown to support weak forks and redistribute load. The goal: add decades of safe service life to trees that would otherwise be removed.
Common situations we handle
- A mature shade tree with a split or codominant fork above the yard
- A specimen tree showing previous storm damage we want to preserve
- Trees flagged by a certified arborist that have weak unions but strong roots
- Heritage or sentimental trees where preservation matters more than removal
What this includes
- Crown cable installation to support weak forks and codominant stems
- Bracing rods installed in splits and hazardous unions
- Dynamic cabling for storm-load reduction
- Periodic inspection and tension adjustment
- Removal of cabling systems if tree condition changes
Who this is for
Property owners with valuable, mature trees that have structural defects — split trunks, narrow crotch angles, or previous storm damage — who want to preserve them rather than remove them.
