What is Tree Cabling and Some of Its Benefits?

High winds and heavy snow can cause branches of large trees to break off, posing a safety hazard on the ground and in the air for planes. Tree cabling is an inexpensive solution that can be installed when a tree is newly planted or too big to support itself.

What are the benefits?

Tree cabling, also known as bracing, offers several benefits. They include:

1. Stabilization of the tree
   When a tree breaks in stormy weather, the heavy branches can cause damage to buildings and vehicles below. These damages can be minimized or avoided entirely with a sturdy tree cabling system installed.
2. Cost-effectiveness
   Tree cabling is a cost-effective way to minimize property damage and danger to the immediate area. Most of the time, the materials used for tree cabling are recycled from nearby construction sites.
3. Easy Installation
   The cables are placed around the tree’s trunk, wrapping them in a spiral pattern until they meet at a point at the top.
   The wires need to be wrapped around at least two times to prevent the cables from being cut by tree branches near the top and maintain a sturdy shape.
4. Inexpensive process
   Tree cabling is inexpensive, with costs ranging from $10 to $60 per tree and installation taking only a few hours. Tree cabling is widely available for nearly all species of trees.

Clearly, cabled trees are less vulnerable to heavy snow and ice effects. They are also easier to walk or drive under since they have a more open canopy with fewer branches at the top.

After the process, contractors, or tree specialists, will constantly monitor and inspect the trees to ensure proper installation and effectiveness.
