Tree Cabling and Bracing Durham NC

Large trees are a beautiful part of any property. However, they can also present unique risks of their own. Branches that grow too long for their own good can potentially snap off and damage everything below them. Some trees might not even be able to bear the weight of excessive branches. Trimming and pruning aren’t the only methods of reducing a tree’s branch burden. Rather than injure the tree by chopping off its limbs, you can reinforce it with cabling and bracing.

DNC Tree Removal Durham offers dependable tree bracing and cabling that protects your trees and allows them to stand tall. Our reinforcements are dependable through rain or shine and provide storm damage prevention, so you can trust that your trees will stand proudly for years to come.

What is Tree Cabling, Bracing, and Rodding?

DNC Tree Removal Durham provides three options for supporting your tree and its branches: cabling, bracing, and rodding. Each one has its merits and could work for your situation.

Cabling: A wire is wrapped around weak branches to link them to the stronger stem. The cable should be wrapped tightly enough to hold strong even during storms and heavy winds. Cabling will require periodic adjustments due to the growth of the branches, but this should be an infrequent procedure.

Bracing: Bracing is a popular and extremely simple alternative to cabling. In most cases, it entails placing a reinforcement such as a wood plank under weakened branches to provide support. This is a non-invasive technique that is most commonly used on trees that can currently support their branches but may need assistance in the near future.

Rodding: Rodding is a supportive measure intended to provide additional support should cabling prove insufficient. Rodding involves drilling holes into the trunk of a tree and tying cables through the trunk itself. This may be an invasive operation, but in the hands of skilled arborists, it can be done safely without injuring the tree.

Which Option is Right For Me?

Any one of these three options might be right for you depending on your situation. Whenever you suspect that your trees may need reinforcement, you should immediately call an experienced arborist who can explain your options. If your trees are in good condition currently but you fear that their branches are about to decay or grow excessively, bracing is a common preventative measure. On the other hand, cabling is typically used when branches are already at risk and need help quickly. Lastly, rodding is usually a last resort in the event that cabling doesn’t work or if the branches are already collapsing.
