Cabling & Bracing
Structural support for valuable trees in Lancaster, Harrisburg, and the surrounding counties
Some trees develop structural weaknesses—from co-dominant stems to split crotches or heavy limbs—that increase failure risk. Rather than remove these trees, cabling and bracing provides supplemental support that reduces risk while preserving the tree. This is especially valuable for mature landscape specimens.
Support Systems
Static Cabling
Steel cable systems limit movement between co-dominant stems or weak unions.
Rod Bracing
Threaded rods through weak crotches to bolt stems together from inside.
Propping
Ground-based posts that support heavy horizontal limbs from below.
Installation Process
1
Structural Assessment
Certified Arborist evaluates tree structure and determines appropriate support type.
2
Custom Design
Design cable or brace system specific to tree species, size, and defect type.
3
Professional Installation
Install hardware using proper techniques that don't damage tree tissue.
