Tree cabling and bracing

Preserve the health and structural safety of your trees

Cabling and bracing is an effective arboricultural technique for strengthening the structure of trees. It supports weakened or at-risk branches, preventing breakage. By installing specialized cables or straps, this intervention helps prevent falling branches, protecting people, property, and the tree itself. Ultimately, this method sustainably extends the tree’s lifespan.

When is cabling and bracing necessary?

Cabling and bracing is especially recommended in the following situations:

Weakened or cracked branches: When a branch shows signs of weakness, a brace can prevent it from breaking.
Included bark unions: If two main branches have a weak attachment point where they join, cabling and bracing help keep them stable and secure.
Leaning or damaged trees: After storms or strong winds, a leaning tree can be stabilized with cabling and bracing.

More information

When a brace is installed, it is highly recommended to perform structural pruning. This step helps lighten the scaffold branches supported by the brace, reducing their weight and wind resistance. By combining cabling and pruning, the effectiveness of the support system is maximized. At the same time, this approach minimizes mechanical stress on the tree and enhances its stability. Ultimately, these complementary interventions improve the tree’s overall health.

Furthermore, we encourage replanting after tree felling. To this end, we recommend the tree species best suited to your land. Ultimately, this approach helps preserve biodiversity and maintain a healthy, balanced environment.

We use two main methods, tailored to the specific needs of each tree:

Static cabling : This technique uses non-elastic cables to restrict movement and stabilize severely compromised branches.
Dynamic cabling : Elastic cables are used to provide more flexibility, making them ideal for trees still growing or requiring preventive support.

Tree preservation : Strengthens vulnerable parts to prevent tree removal.
Increased safety : Reduces the risk of falling branches in high-traffic areas.
Preserved aesthetics : Maintains the tree’s natural appearance while ensuring its stability.
