Strong winds, aging limbs, and splitting trunks can threaten your trees’ stability. At The Lawn Firm, our ISA-certified and TRAQ-qualified arborists provide tree cabling and bracing to reinforce vulnerable trees, helping preserve their health and safety in North Texas landscapes.
Tree cabling and bracing are structural support methods designed to strengthen trees with potential weaknesses, such as:
Cables—made from steel or flexible synthetic materials—are installed between major limbs or co-dominant stems to redistribute stress and limit excessive movement during high winds or storms.
Threaded steel rods are installed through or around weakened areas, like cracked trunks, to provide additional rigidity and prevent further splitting. These methods are designed to be minimally invasive, supporting the tree’s natural growth while addressing structural concerns.
Both techniques follow ANSI A300 standards and can help extend a tree’s lifespan when appropriate.
Watch for these indicators on your property in Dallas County or Tarrant County:
Uncertain about your tree’s condition? Our initial visit is free, where we can discuss potential needs. For detailed evaluations, we offer TRAQ assessments (fees apply) to thoroughly identify risks.
An ISA-certified arborist examines the tree’s structure, species, soil conditions, and environmental factors specific to Dallas and Tarrant County, such as local wind patterns and storm risks.
Based on the assessment, we outline options for static or dynamic cabling, bracing rods, or a combination. We provide mitigation options tailored to your tree’s needs, allowing you to choose the best approach.
Using high-strength materials and galvanized hardware, we install systems compliant with industry standards. Installations are minimally invasive and can be performed year-round when needed—no seasonal restrictions apply.
We recommend periodic checks to ensure the system’s effectiveness and offer optional follow-up services for adjustments.
Dallas County and Tarrant County experience frequent windstorms, ice events, and severe weather that can exacerbate tree weaknesses. Cabling and bracing help mitigate risks from these conditions, protecting properties in areas like Colleyville, Southlake, and Fort Worth.
Common local trees, including Live Oaks, Red Oaks, and Cedar Elms, often develop heavy limbs or co-dominant trunks that may benefit from support to maintain stability.
With over 30 years serving Dallas and Tarrant County, we understand regional challenges like urban soil compaction and storm-prone weather. Our TCEQ-licensed (LI7619) team ensures compliant, effective solutions.
We present mitigation options based on our assessment but leave the final decision to you. Cabling isn’t always a lower-cost alternative to removal—it depends on the tree’s condition and your goals.
Also Offering:
Steel systems typically endure 10–15 years, with inspections recommended every 3–5 years to monitor and adjust as needed.
When installed by certified professionals following ANSI standards, cabling supports natural growth without causing harm.
Cabling uses overhead cables to limit limb movement, while bracing involves rods for direct reinforcement of splits or weak unions.
Not every tree is a candidate—suitability depends on species, health, and structure. A professional assessment determines options.
Installations can occur year-round based on need, though proactive assessments before storm seasons (spring and fall in North Texas) are ideal.
Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) is an advanced evaluation by qualified arborists to identify hazards. We charge for these detailed assessments.
