Tree Cabling & Bracing

Snow and ice can pose a threat to trees by weighing down limbs and branches causing broken and damaged trees.

Trees that are unprepared to bear the extra weight need attention to prevent branch failure.

Here are some ways cabling and bracing can help protect trees from snow and ice:

• Protect branches against breakage
• Prevent ice damage

Concerned about a tree bent over by ice? Here’s what you should do.

Sometimes even healthy trees fail, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Weakened trees can be high risk trees, and not all hazards are obvious.

Watch for some of these warning tree signs:

• Your tree is leaning, buckling or heaving up the soil at the base of the tree
• An unbalanced or sparse canopy appears with several dead branches
• Internal or external cavities, cracks or seams of wood occur

A professional tree service can provide a tree health and tree risk assessment.
