Cabling and bracing are processes that restore or improve the
structural integrity of a tree that is worth preserving. Individual
limbs or the entire tree may be cabled and braced. Fasteners
are attached to the weakened limb and the main trunk. Using
ropes or chains, tension is applied to the weakened limb. Heavy
duty cables are then prepared and attached to each fastener
to provide the correct amount of support for the weakened limb.
While it sounds like a relatively simple
process, it takes a great deal of technical expertise and experience
to know
how to go about it in a manner that protects the longevity
of the living tree and the safety of those around it. Our
service personnel are fully trained and experienced in all
aspects
of cabling and bracing. |
