Experts Offer Tree Cabling

Could your tree be a good canidate for tree cabling?

Do you have a tree with heavy limbs, a split trunk, or branches that seem unstable?

These structural issues can lead to falling limbs or even total tree failure, posing a danger to your family, home, and property. Our Tennessee storm systems and strong winds can turn an otherwise beautiful tree into a serious hazard.

  • Tree cabling, is a trusted solution for stabilizing weak or structurally vulnerable trees. By redistributing mechanical stress, it reinforces the tree’s integrity, preventing potential breakage while promoting healthy, resilient growth for years to come.

  • It involves the installation of high-strength steel cables or synthetic materials between branches or trunks to redistribute mechanical stress and reduce the risk of failure during storms, high winds, or under the weight of heavy foliage.

  • It all depends, we offer free no obligation estimates. We would rather save a tree if possible than remove, so let’s see how we can help you. We are friendly too, just give us a call.

How Can Tree Cabling Benefit My Tree, Home and Preoperty?

At High Canopy LLC, we use tree cabling to address the structural instability of a tree, which poses risks to its health, longevity, and safety. The primary problems being solved include:

  1. Preventing limb or trunk failure: Trees with weak branch unions, heavy limbs, or co-dominant stems are at risk of splitting or breaking, especially under stress from wind, snow, or ice.

  2. Minimizing property or personal damage: Unstable branches or trunks can fall and cause harm to people, buildings, vehicles, or other nearby structures.

  3. Preserving tree health and lifespan: By reducing mechanical stress, cabling allows the tree to focus on healthy growth rather than dealing with damage from structural failure.

  4. Maintaining aesthetic and ecological value: Supporting vulnerable trees can prevent the need for extensive pruning or removal, allowing the tree to continue contributing to the landscape and ecosystem.

Tree cabling is a proactive tree care technique used to support weak or structurally compromised branches or trunks to prevent breakage and extend the life of the tree. It involves the installation of high-strength steel cables or synthetic materials between branches or trunks to redistribute mechanical stress and reduce the risk of failure during storms, high winds, or under the weight of heavy foliage. Cabling is often used in trees with co-dominant stems, large horizontal limbs, or those showing signs of structural instability. By providing additional support, cabling helps maintain the tree's health and safety while preserving its aesthetic and environmental benefits.
