The saying “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link” can also be said for trees. In some cases, trees need extra support, and that’s where cables and brace rods come in. These structural support systems reduce the risk of failure of multiple stems and weak branches.
Each circumstance is unique and requires professional expertise. One of our specialists can properly diagnose the best course of action for each tree. Some cases require cables, consisting of maximum-strength steel attached to bolts that we install in the upper crown of the tree. Cables limit the movement of the supported branches, making them less likely to fall during a storm. Braces are threaded rods that we install through unions of weak branches or multiple stems to ensure a sturdier support system for the tree and its branches in intense weather conditions.
