A split trunk held together with a ratchet strap, before Arborwise bolted and cabled it
A Save StoryThe homeowner saw the split and got a ratchet strap on it fast. Smart. That bought the tree time. Then we came in, reduced the weight at the tips, put two bolts through the split, and set two cables in the canopy where they would do the most good. Done deal. That tree is still standing.

Not every structurally compromised tree needs to be removed. A mature shade tree with a split leader or a heavy horizontal limb is often worth saving, and cabling and bracing is how you save it.

Cables are installed high in the canopy to limit how far weak unions can move in wind. Bracing rods go through the union itself to hold a split together. Both are hardware decisions that depend on species, union geometry, decay, and what is underneath the tree, which is exactly why an ISA Certified Arborist should be the one specifying it. Done right, a system buys a tree decades. Done wrong, it hides a hazard and gives the owner false confidence.

Questions

Cabling and Bracing Questions

Is cabling cheaper than removal?

Usually yes, and often by a lot, especially when you factor in what a mature shade tree adds to a property. It also preserves shade you cannot buy back for thirty years.

How long does a cable system last?

A properly installed system lasts many years, but it needs periodic inspection. Trees grow, hardware loads change, and a cable that was right five years ago may need adjusting.

Can any tree be cabled?

No, and that is the honest answer. If decay is advanced or the union is already failing, hardware just delays the inevitable and can make failure less predictable. We will tell you when removal is the right call.
