Tree Cabling and Bracing

A-1 Tree Service and Stump Removal. uses bracing and cabling techniques to provide supplemental tree support to branches and leaders with structural defects. Trees that pose a high risk of failure can result in injury or property damage and a supplemental support system can reduce that risk.

We use both the Cobra cable system and Traditional cable system.

The advantage of the Cobra Cable system is that it doesn’t require drilling holes and trees, and can generally be done much faster and with less intensive effort. Also, the synthetic Cobra Cable fibers are designed to stretch gently as the tree grows, making this a very flexible option. Traditional cable systems may need to be redone as the tree grows

However, sometimes you do need traditional cabling for the sheer strength that it offers. Plus, it’s cheaper.

Whichever system is best for you, bracing and cabling is one of the best ways to handle a tree with potentially dangerous structural defects.
