We rely on trees to provide us with shade from the sun and oxygen to breathe, which is why maintaining and protecting them are important. One important aspect of proper tree care is cabling, which carries a variety of benefits when it comes to promoting healthy growth.

What Is Tree Cabling?

Tree cabling is the process by which flexible steel cables are affixed to boughs and branches to offer them greater strength and support. Your tree care company will install these cables into the canopy of each tree, carefully drilling holes in the limbs and connecting them with steel strands. While some people avoid tree cabling because they think it will be unsightly and reduce curb appeal, you likely won’t even notice the presence of these discreet cables in your trees.  

What Are the Benefits?

Tree cabling offers supplementary support for smaller and weaker limbs and branches, which prevents them from falling down and damaging your property during high winds and heavy rains. This tree care service is also helpful for repairing damages to trunks. When a tree with a compromised trunk is properly cabled, it will grow straighter and taller, which may help close potential entry points for harmful fungi and bacteria.

Tree cabling also plays an important aesthetic role, making your trees look symmetrical and balanced, which boosts the curb appeal of your home. This tree care service protects your family and passersby from potentially becoming injured as the result of fallen tree limbs and branches.
