Cabling & Bracing Systems in Chester Springs, PA

Preserve the integrity of your specimen trees.

Tree support systems made easy.

Trees grow in ways that are not always the most sustainable for long-term health and safety. This unusual growth pattern is called a structural deficiency, and can be caused by several reasons, including:

  • Species characteristics
  • Poor growing conditions or location
  • Lack of proper pruning in early life stages

Having a professional install a support system in your tree reduces the possibility of branches breaking or whole-tree failure by providing extra support and reinforcement. Support systems reinforce areas at risk by limiting branch and leader movement.


Cabling vs Bracing: What are they & what do they do?

Cable systems consist of flexible, extra-high-strength steel strand cables woven together and attached to bolts that are drilled into areas of weakness. A cable system transfers weight from a weak branch to a stronger one, preventing breakage and restricting movement in that branch.


Brace systems consist of threaded rods that are installed through weak areas to provide more rigid support. This type of support system is typically used in trees with codominant or multiple leads.
