Why Winter is the Perfect Time for Tree Cabling and Bracing

If your tree has been damaged by winter storms, heavy snow, high winds, or other natural factors, cabling and bracing might be the support solution it needs this season. Trees with weakened limbs or poor structure are especially vulnerable, and while removal is sometimes an option, cabling and bracing can often preserve the tree while enhancing its safety.

Tree cabling and bracing involve installing hardware that limits movement between limbs, thereby reducing stress and stabilizing the tree. This technique can be especially beneficial for trees with weak or compromised branches that may not be immediately noticeable. That’s why professional assessment is essential.

At Aerial Tree Services, we’re equipped with the expertise to evaluate your tree’s condition. Our trained arborists assess factors like bark condition and co-dominant stems to determine whether cabling and bracing are appropriate. This not only strengthens the tree’s structure but also helps improve its longevity and minimizes risks of falling limbs or collapse.

Operating year-round, our team at Aerial Tree Services is dedicated to supporting healthy trees and safe properties.
