Tree Cabling
and Bracing
If branches or tree trunks need additional support, a professional with BTS may be able to install cables or bracing. If cables and/ or braces are installed, they must be inspected regularly. The amount of added security offered by the installation of support hardware is limited. Not all weak limbs are candidates for these measures, but we at BTS have the knowledge to make that decision and the education and skills to do it properly if your tree is a candidate for bracing and/or cabling.
