Keep the tree. Take away the risk.
When a trunk splits into two stems or a heavy limb weakens, steel support can hold it together through wind and rain.
A split trunk is weakest when the wind blows.
Two stems from one fork strain against each other in every gust. A cable high in the canopy stops them moving too far.
Without support, the fork opens a little more with every gust.With a cable, both stems move together and the fork stays closed.
Two kinds of cable, chosen for the tree.
Bracing adds steel rods through the trunk or a major limb where a defect needs more strength. We check and adjust systems over time, as trees keep growing.
Worth it when the tree is worth keeping.
- Extends the life of mature trees
- Reduces branch breakage and property damage
- Saves trees that would otherwise come down
- Adds safety and long-term value
No system can promise a tree through the worst storms. Cabling, bracing and good pruning together significantly reduce the risk. If decay has gone too far, we will say so.

An arborist will look at it, tell you if support can save it, and give you a free estimate.
