Weak trees pose a threat to the safety of you and your property. Make sure your tree is safe and healthy by giving it proper support. Keep reading to learn about our Dallas tree cabling services which can help protect your trees and your property.
What is Tree Cabling?
When a mature tree has weak branches, multiple stems, or has suffered slight damage, tree cabling provides extra support. Heavy-duty cables are installed in the upper crown to limit movement and prevent storm damage. Tree cabling is a preventive measure to help you avoid long-term problems like unsafe growth, dangerously weak branches, or significant storm damage.
When Should You Cable A Tree?
Trees need light to grow and therefore grow towards the sun. This is natural and a sign of a healthy tree, however, it can put your property at risk. Whenever a tree grows towards your home or business, you may want to consider cabling to help promote safe growth.
Another sign that you need to brace your tree is when there is cracking or splitting in the trunk of your tree. This is a structural issue, and we recommend having a certified arborist look at the structure of your tree to determine the best course of action. Unfortunately, sometimes this means the tree is unhealthy or sick, so removal may be best.
Codominant stems are when branches of equal size grow upward from a single point of origin, sometimes forming a V-shape. When this happens, one stem tends to weaken as the tree grows, increasing the chances of cracking or breaking. This can often be avoided early on with pruning before the tree matures. However, once the tree has grown, cabling is often the best option.
