Keep Your Trees Safe & Avoid the Need for Removal

While structural defects make some trees hazardous, ArborPro Tree Service installs support systems that can help save trees that may otherwise require removal.

Structural Problems Can Make Any Tree Hazardous

Even healthy, vigorous, and beautiful trees can suffer from structural weaknesses that leave them at increased risk of failure. If not addressed, weak branch attachments, overextended limbs, and codominant stems (“twin” trunks) can lead to a variety of problems, including:

  • Injuries to people or pets
  • Significant damage to homes or commercial buildings
  • Ruined landscaping, hardscapes, and other features
  • Unsightly trees and reduced curb appeal
  • Progressive structural instability over time

But while you don’t want to ignore structural tree issues, you don’t always have to remove the tree, either. In many cases, ISA-certified arborists can use cables and braces to keep trees stable and drastically reduce the amount of risk they present.

Cabling & Bracing Services Can Often Help You Avoid Removal

Neither cabling nor bracing is always appropriate. But in many cases, they can help fortify problematic limbs and branch unions, giving you the chance to:

  • Reduce the risks of catastrophic tree failure
  • Avoid the expense of tree removal
  • Continue enjoying the energy-saving benefits your tree provides
  • Retain a beloved tree you’ve had for years
  • Keep your property looking attractive and well maintained

When installed properly by an ISA-certified arborist, cabling and bracing systems may allow you to continue enjoying your tree — and all of the benefits it provides — for decades.

Cabling, Bracing, & Other Tree Support Services

Though often used in combination with each other, there are a few different kinds of support services the ArborPro Tree Service team can employ to help you retain your tree. A few of the most common tree-support services we provide include the following.

Cabling & Bracing in Western North Carolina: Key Considerations

Western North Carolina is home to many large, mature trees that provide beauty, shade, and character to area properties. Unfortunately, these same trees can develop structural weaknesses as they age, making proactive risk management increasingly important.

A few factors that commonly make cabling and bracing particularly beneficial in our area include:

Whether you’re concerned about a mature tree near your home or simply want to preserve a valuable specimen for future generations, ArborPro Tree Service can help determine whether cabling and bracing is an appropriate solution for your situation.

Signs Your Trees May Benefit from Cabling or Bracing Services

Only an ISA-certified arborist can determine whether or not a tree may be a good candidate for cable or brace installation. However, there are a few general clues you can look for, which may point you in the right direction, including:

It’s worth pointing out that cabling and bracing are most commonly used for hardwood species — especially maples, elms, and oaks — than conifers, though there are exceptions.

How Much Do Cabling & Bracing Services Cost in Western North Carolina?

In Western North Carolina, cabling and bracing services generally cost between $500 and $2,500, depending on the specifics of the project. A few of the most important factors that go into determining the price of a cabling or bracing project include:

  • The size of the tree. Installing support mechanisms in large trees is more difficult, requires more materials, and takes more time than it does in small trees, increasing the project costs.
  • The complexity of the system. A simple support system may only involve a single brace, while a complicated system may require multiple cables attached in several places throughout the canopy.
  • The location of the support system. Sometimes, braces can be installed very low in a tree, which alleviates the time, effort, and expense associated with operations that take place at height.
  • The materials used when cabling. Though the choice of material should be made based on the tree’s needs, rope-based systems are often more affordable than systems utilizing steel cables.
  • The current stability of the tree. If the tree has already experienced a partial failure, it may need to be supported before an arborist can climb into the canopy and install the needed support system.

Ultimately, the best way to determine the cost of your specific cabling or bracing project is to contact ArborPro Tree Service and request a free estimate.

Cabling & Bracing in Western North Carolina: FAQ

ArborPro did a great job taking care of my trees. They had a fast response to diagnose a tree issue and did what they said they would do in a very professional manner. Very knowledgeable staff. They checked several times during the trimming process to be sure I was happy. They cleaned up my yard better than when they showed up. I am more than happy with the results and recommend to anyone.

Holy crap guys, I’ve used tons of local tree services and luckily they have all been pretty great, but I have to say the folks at Arbor Pro Tree Service have set a very high bar that’s going to be hard to beat! The crew was so fast and efficient, and made sure to come get me and walk the property lines to make sure I was satisfied. I thought for sure this was going to be a 5 to 6 hour job and they were done in less than two hours! The price, the quick timeframe, and the crew making sure I was completely satisfied before they left Let’s me know what tree service I’m using from here on out!

Great and efficient service. Had an old large maple very close to the house and within a small, backyard fence that needed removing as it had become too large and dangerous to leave looming over my home. Justin was polite and professional throughout the entire project and most importantly the tree was removed without any injuries or incidents. Very happy and would highly recommend of you need any tree removal done.

We needed two large oak trees removed and had several companies come out. Arbor pro took the time to really assess the trees and they had the best offer. They were able to do the removal within two days. They were very professional. I would recommend them 100%!
