Boise Tree Cabling and Bracing

Tree cabling and bracing in Boise

Cabling and bracing are techniques used to provide supplemental structural support to trees with weak branch unions, split trunks, or other structural defects.

Why tree cabling and bracing is important

These support systems are important for preserving valuable trees that might otherwise require removal. Cabling and bracing reduce the risk of branch or trunk failure, especially during storms or under heavy loads, protecting property and extending the lifespan of trees.

How does Double J do tree cabling and bracing in Boise?

At Double J Tree Service, our certified arborists carefully assess each tree to determine if cabling or bracing is appropriate. We use high-quality, industry-approved materials for all support systems. For cabling, we install static high strength steel cables, or dynamic hollow braid polyester rope between major limbs to limit excessive movement. Bracing typically involves the use of threaded rods to provide rigid support for split trunks or weak unions. Our team follows the ANSI A300 - part 3 supplemental support system standards for tree support systems, ensuring proper installation that allows for tree growth. We also provide ongoing inspections and maintenance of installed systems to ensure long-term effectiveness and tree health.

"Double J Tree Services were professional, very knowledgeable and thorough. Our willow needed A LOT of work and these guys worked their tails off to get it done! It looks like a much happier tree now! They really care about the tree, and it shows. Fast service, started quickly after bid. They did an excellent job cleaning up all the debris from pruning."
