Cabling & Bracing Tree Service

Maintenance of trees to ensure good physical structure is important and will need extra support in the event that they get weak with time. A tree service that can aid in improving tree structural support is tree cabling and bracing services. It is offered by a nearly all of Rancho Cordova California Tree Service companies. The process is done to help trees not weaken during storms, restricting their movement using cables and braces.
Tree cabling is recommended when looking to redistribute limb weight and provide tree trunk with extra support, since it involves placing flexible steel cables between the tree branches. For weak tree sections, tree bracing services is required and it involves use of threaded bolts and rods. It is advisable to prune or trim these branches at an early age for a healthy development. However in the event that the tree grows to an older age unnoticed, tree cabling and bracing is encouraged.

​There are two types of cabling equipment which include;

• Dynamic/Elastic cables; these cables are flexible and allow very limited tree limb movement
• Static/Non-Elastic cables; these are cables that are rigid and extremely limit tree limb movement. They have extra high strength and are pliable.

During tree cable installation, considering the load angle is vital and the lag should be positioned downwards to avoid possible failures. The distance between the cable anchor points should not be in line with each other but instead should be spaced further apart than the trunk diameter.

Bracing tree attachment depends on the reasons of installation and can either be;

• Permanent invasive; where the braces are installed for the entire tree’s lifespan.
• Temporary or non-invasive; where the braces are placed for specific period during the tree’s lifespan.

Both of the systems should be checked and annually inspected including before, during and after any incidents that may have potentially damaged either the tree or the tree system.
The equipment lifespan varies for both rope and steel materials where;

• Rope material lasts about eight to twelve years
• Steel materials could last about twenty to thirty years 

 If you notice splits or other structural weakness signs on one or a few of your tree branches or even on the crotches and the trunk, contact any Rancho Cordova CA tree services companies that offer tree cabling and bracing services. Tree bracing in this case will provide a threading action which will hold the split branches and the weak sections together.
