What is cable bracing?
Cable bracing is a tree support technique used to stabilise branches and reduce the risk of branch failure. It involves installing flexible steel cables or synthetic ropes between branches or the trunk and branches to provide support and distribute mechanical stress, particularly in trees with weak branch unions or those at risk of splitting.
Cable bracing is commonly used for trees in urban areas or near structures where broken branches could pose a safety hazard. It helps maintain the tree’s natural structure and health while preventing damage, offering a less invasive option compared to heavy pruning or tree removal.
How About Trees help with cable bracing?
About Trees Ltd will install a cable bracing system in the tree and carry out an essential yearly safety check on homes in and around Ashford, Kent. This allows us to make sure that everything is still in place as it should be.
In the past we have carried out cable bracing on specimen trees with faults whilst replacement trees have been given the time to grow until they are such a size where they can replace the original tree.
