People often develop deep emotional connections with their favorite trees, imbuing them with sentimental value. But what happens when your cherished tree is damaged, leaning perilously, or struggling under its own weight? Tree cabling and bracing is the ideal solution for those unwilling to part with a beloved tree that poses a risk to people and nearby structures.
If your tree appears to be at risk of falling, that is an emergency. Please contact Anderson’s Tree Care Specialists immediately.
Understanding Tree Cabling and Bracing
Tree cabling, also referred to as tree bracing, is a technique employed to safeguard the structural integrity of a tree’s branches or trunk. It serves as a short-term remedy to aid a tree’s recovery from damage or as a long-term solution to stabilize a sentimental or important tree that the owner wishes to preserve without resorting to pruning or removal.
During the cabling process, an ISA-certified arborist from Anderson’s Tree Care Specialists assesses the tree to determine its suitability for cabling or bracing and the specific cabling requirements. Braces and cables are strategically placed around the branches and trunk to lend support to the tree.
In certain cases, support rods anchored in the ground may be necessary, depending on the tree’s condition and the required support.

Tree Cabling FAQs
How long does cabling and bracing last?
Cabling might need periodic adjustments, replacements, or repairs. It remains effective until the tree is stable enough to no longer require support.
How often should the cables be inspected?
Cables should undergo yearly inspections, as they might shift or sustain damage over time. If you suspect the need for maintenance, contact Anderson’s Tree Care Specialists to schedule a prompt inspection.
Can tree cabling save my tree?
Cabling provides essential support to damaged tree limbs and trunks, aiding the healing process. Only a certified arborist can determine whether cabling is suitable for your tree or if removal is necessary.
Will cabling fix a leaning tree?
Bracing and cabling enhance the structural integrity of the tree and its branches, preventing further leaning and breakage. This support allows the tree to heal and grow stronger. The arborist will assess your tree’s condition and recommend cabling if necessary.
