Tree Cabling 101

Affordable Tree Service Ashville VA

Trees’ structural integrity may deteriorate over time for numerous unavoidable reasons. Extreme weather, age, and abnormal growth patterns can contribute to a tree losing structural integrity. If you discover a tree’s branches developing at awkward angles, its trunk growing too close to your home, or its height leaning heavily, tree cabling might be an ideal solution. Hire an affordable tree service to ensure your property does not face a significant and dangerous problem.

Below, we discuss tree cabling and bracing techniques as well as their benefits:

What is Tree Cabling?

Weak or awkwardly grown branches can threaten your property and the structures thereon, especially if the trees struggle to withstand extreme weather. Tree cables are inserted along these weak branches and connect them to sturdier ones with much less risk of breaking, bracing the weaklings.

The cables allow these fragile limbs to grow strong, after which a tree expert can remove the support. Moreover, tree cables encourage branches to grow in specific directions—such as away from a house or shed. This process helps establish a safe environment for you and your family. 

When is Tree Cabling Necessary? 

The twists and turns of tree branches are a beautiful spectacle, yet just one weakling can cause a structural failure throughout the rest of the tree. Even saplings planted in appropriate areas may not grow according to property owners’ expectations. Depending on factors like sunlight and wind exposure, their structural integrity can deteriorate and cause weakness in their branches. Such scenarios call for tree cabling. 

Beyond weak and awkward branch growth, splitting or cracking bark may indicate a need for cabling. Any tree that grows fruits or nuts must also contend with that extra weight on the branches. Still, an experienced arborist can add cables and use bracing techniques to distribute that weight. If you have a tree growing too close to your home or another structure, tree cabling can protect it without sacrificing the tree. 

The Benefits of Tree Cabling

Affordable Tree Service Ashville VA

As a preventative measure, tree cabling’s benefits greatly outweigh its cost or time commitment. Not only does this process prevent trees from losing their delicate branches, but it also increases their lifespan. Trees that lean too far in one direction or are top-heavy are at risk of significant breaks and splinters in their trunk. Cabling allows trees to grow without the risk of awkward bark development. 

Moreover, Timber Works offers some of the best tree cabling rates in the area. Given tree maintenance’s importance to the health and appeal of your land, you must put your trust in expert hands to assess and provide necessary tree services.

I have used Timber Works twice for tree removal/trimming. They are prompt, professional, fairly priced, kind, and hard working. They were great sports (both times!) about having an audience of interested children, and were so nice to them— even to the point of asking them how long they wanted the cut branches, because my boys requested fort building material😊. I recommend Timber Works to anyone looking for tree removal/trimming/information, and will continue to!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Elizabeth for the review, but also the business! We are so glad that your kiddos were able to benefit from the work done at your property as well. We look forward to working with you in the future and appreciate your recommendation!

Multiple very large trees that needed removal to avoid hitting my house and neighboring house. Trees were not easy to access given location of patio that I wanted protected. Obtained multiple quotes for both price and approach to the job. Timber Works won on both criteria. Crew was great to work with. Four trees down with all trunks, limbs, and debris removed same day. They had all the right equipment for this job. The crew members were skilled and respectful. Highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you, John, for the kind review and business! It was our pleasure serving you and we hope to do so in the future!

Timber Works did an excellent job removing a very large tree near my house that was surrounded by wires. Given the complexity, they were quick and efficient. I would definitely recommend them!

Only tree service I will call. Friendly, fair, prompt. I recommend them to anyone asking for a tree service.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the business and kind review. We enjoy working with you!
Timber Works arrived on time and immediately went to work. They removed a red maple from the backyard and dug out the root system. My backyard is empty - they left nothing behind, no twigs, no leaves, nothing. Quick. Courteous. Meticulous. They left nothing behind sign of their being here. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Joan and sorry for the loss of your beloved maple. We hope that you can plant something as beautiful in its place. We appreciate your business!
