TREE CABLING AND TREE BRACING

Tree Service in King County & Snohomish County

The illustration shows a multi-lead tree that was cabled, bolted, and braced. Although all 3 "crutch" options are almost never needed in a single tree, the illustration shows proper placement in the canopy for each method.  Proper placement is key!  Sound Arbor most often uses cabling as our option to reinforce weak tree parts, using the non-invasive TreeGuard system.  The photo above shows climber pointing to the TreeGuard system just installed. 

In combination with these methods, pruning can (and often should) also be applied to reduce stress on weakened unions or branches. With these practices applied, the risk of tree or branch failure will be drastically reduced. Talk to Sound Arbor to discuss whether your tree or trees are good candidates for cabling and bracing.
