Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Cabling & Bracing
How long do tree cables and braces last?
With proper installation and maintenance, tree support systems can last 8-10 years, though hardware should be professionally inspected annually.
Is cabling better than removing a hazardous tree?
When a tree has significant historical, environmental, or aesthetic value, professional cabling often provides a safer alternative to complete removal while preserving benefits. Our arborists can assess whether cabling is appropriate for your specific situation.
Will cables harm my tree?
When installed by certified arborists according to industry standards, cabling systems cause minimal damage while significantly reducing failure risk. Our techniques prioritize tree health and structural integrity.
How soon after installation is my tree safe?
Support systems provide immediate structural reinforcement, though they work best when combined with appropriate pruning to reduce weight and wind resistance over time.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover tree cabling?
While policies vary, many insurance companies recognize professional tree support systems as preventative measures that reduce liability. We can provide documentation for your insurance provider if needed.
