How Tree Bracing and Cable Bracing Systems Work to Keep Trees Safe
Sometimes, our favourite trees need a little extra help to stand strong, and that’s where tree bracing and cabling come in. Think of tree bracing like a supportive brace for weak spots in the tree. We use rigid rods to reinforce areas prone to splitting or cracking, especially around heavy branches or trunks that could use a bit of help to stay upright. This keeps the tree grounded and steady, making it less likely to break.
On the other hand, tree cabling is about adding flexible cables higher up in the tree’s canopy. This keeps those heavy branches from swinging too much in the wind, while still letting the tree move naturally. For trees that need more rigid support, static cabling is ideal, while dynamic cabling is great for healthier trees that can handle a bit of sway. Our professional and certified arborists will take a look at your tree, choose the best option, and give it the support it needs so you can worry less about branches breaking and enjoy your beautiful tree more!

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tree cabling last?
Generally, tree cabling can last for a decade or more, usually between 10-15 years. However, to keep everything safe and secure, it’s important to have the cabling inspected every few years. At TLC Trees, we offer routine check-ups to make sure your tree’s cabling is doing its job and lasting as long as possible.
Does cabling hurt the tree?
Not at all! When installed by professionals, cabling is a safe way to support your tree. TLC Trees’ arborists know how to install cables in a way that helps stabilise the tree, keeping it strong and healthy without causing any harm. It’s a gentle solution that reinforces the tree’s natural structure.
Can I do tree cabling on my own?
Tree cabling isn’t something we recommend doing on your own. It’s a technical process that requires the right tools and experience to avoid damage or accidents. Let TLC Trees handle it for you – our trained arborists know exactly how to install cabling that’s safe, effective, and lasts.
I've noticed my tree is leaning, should I consider a tree cable?
If your tree is leaning, it’s a good idea to get a professional opinion. At TLC Trees, our arborists can assess whether cabling is the best way to stabilise it or if there’s another solution that might work even better. We’ll help you make sure your tree stays safe and secure.
Do tree support systems guarantee against all tree failures?
Cabling and bracing go a long way toward reducing the risk of tree failure, but they don’t guarantee complete safety. Trees are still vulnerable to things like storms and disease. Regular check-ups from our arborists help maintain the system’s effectiveness and keep your tree as safe as possible.
