Our Tree Cabling and Bracing Services

When heavier trees have additional branches and stems, they can put a lot of pressure on the tree trunk. Our tree cabling and bracing services involve the installation of steel cables to trees in order to reduce stress and damage from high winds, storms, and heavy foliage. The whole idea behind cabling is to transfer the weight from a weak branch on a tree to a stronger branch. This process is a skilled task and requires expertise. 

Tree braces are a very viable and recommended option when branches from a tree are damaged during a storm. Since Minnesota is no stranger to storm weather, installing braces on your trees can prevent them from dying or even breaking during a storm. 

Tree cabling and bracing are one of our specialties at Birch Tree Care. If you have a damaged tree, we may be able to repair it! Not only do we help fix splits or cracks in branch unions, but we also offer tree staking if it is possible to save a tree that has suffered wind damage.

When Do My Trees Need Cabling Support?

The weakening of your trees and branches might be due to the following:

Tree Duration

If your tree is old and has been withstanding the harsh weather conditions of Minnesota for a few years now, it’s time to give it the care and maintenance it needs. 

Growth Shape

If you see a change in the shape or growth patterns of your trees or branches, your instincts are correct - something isn’t right and it needs to be mended immediately. 

Insufficient Tree Care

Just like our homes and ourselves, trees need care and attention as well. Suppose you feel like you haven’t had the time to look after your trees or maintain them; reach out for help. Our arborists love working with trees, and they’d be happy to help your trees thrive. 

Insect/Disease

Trees are very susceptible to diseases all year round. This is why it is important to make sure you’re taking the necessary steps required to protect your trees from these diseases. If you notice your trees are weakening or leaves and branches are falling off, we can help you recover your trees and bring them back to good health. 

Damage Due to Storm/Wind

In Minneapolis and St. Paul, it isn’t easy to withstand storm damage, but there are ways you can protect your trees from major harm. Our tree cabling and bracing services will allow your trees to have additional support and can help them withstand harsh winds.

Tree Cabling and Bracing FAQs

  • Tree cabling does not hurt a tree if it is done correctly, using special equipment. At Birch Tree Care, our arborists are trained to do exactly that. In certain conditions, we won’t offer tree cabling or bracing support to a tree if there is a possibility that it would be harmful to the tree's health or risk to people or property. Our team of professionals will discuss the risk factors and the health condition of the tree to recommend the best course of action for any tree.

  • Tree cabling prevents splitting and damage from occurring within the tree during storms, which can help prevent the need for pruning or removal after. It is often an effective and cost-efficient way to make sure your trees are stronger and more resilient during harsh weather conditions. At Birch Tree Care, we can help come up with a plan best suited for your trees.

  • The longevity of tree cabling can vary depending on the type of tree, the condition of the tree, and the level of damage caused. Our trained technicians and arborists inspect your trees to determine what type of cabling and bracing services they need and provide you with an accurate maintenance plan.

  • Insurance will generally provide protection for your property in the event of loss or damage due to natural disasters such as a fire, severe weather, storm, or other perils. However, this could change depending on your exact insurance policy. It’s best to contact your insurance provider to make sure.
