Tree bracing and tree cabling

Tree cabling and tree bracing

Guying is a technique whose objective is to make stable or stronger any section of tree that is weakened and therefore at risk of breaking. This technique should only be performed by a tree care company.  
 
To do this, the task uses guy wires, cables of varying flexibility. This method meets the expectations of prevention and it pays attention to the long-term impacts on the development of the plant. Such an intervention can eliminate the need to prune important branches or even to cut down a plant in the future.  

There are a variety of reasons to use a stake. The most common is certainly the growth aid stake to young plants planted recently. This simple device allows to solidify the specimen, in particular to prevent it from being uprooted during storms. But there are many other situations, much more complex, where the guying is indicated. Let's see some of them.

 Structural complication

 The effect on a tree that has a lot of free space around it is to receive a lot of daylight. This results in a faster development than if it received less light. Also, it happens that the branches take on such proportions that the base of the tree can no longer support it. This causes an imbalance in the tree's structure. The way to remedy this is by combining two techniques: bracing and pruning. This precaution should lead to a rebalancing.  
 
The bearing of a large plant or its aesthetics are notably ensured by the maintenance of particular branches. There is no question of pruning these branches. However, they may not serve their purpose well and therefore require help to avoid unfortunate consequences. To tell us about your particular case, call Emondage Brossard at 450-500-4569, for a guying, and even for another of our tree maintenance services, at the same time. We will be able to go and validate if a guying is appropriate.

Branching made weaker as a result of a storm

Because of the density of the forest, the trees are better protected in case of strong winds. This is unfortunately not the case for their urban counterparts.   
 
The good news is that very often bracing can save the day in case of post-storm damage. This can be done by tying branches together, where one branch supports the other. This way, they are both solidified, a small measure that reduces the possibility that these branches will fall off later, or become brittle and split. Also, after any weather event, it is a good idea to go and check your trees for any impacts that may need to be addressed. If necessary, contact us at Emondage Brossard so that we can evaluate the damage and its extent.  Call us at 450-500-4569, and it will be our pleasure to provide you with the tree care services you are looking for. 

Multiple trunks

When a large plant has more than one trunk, each of the sections at the base of which each of the trunks is found will compete with each other. First of all, because of the lack of central space, each of these parts will grow away from the main axis. This situation exerts a strong pressure that may cause a crack where the sections meet. Any crack is an irresistible invitation for disease or insects, which would only make the risk worse. In the event of an unexpected fall of a large branch, or even an entire section (trunk and branches), the neighboring buildings could suffer significant damage, as well as the residents of the house or any person passing by at the same time. It turns out that the guy wires allow a stabilization able to prevent such an outcome.   

Crack in a trunk

Crack in a trunk
During your sporadic examinations, if you see a worrying crack, it is strongly recommended that you contact an expert. He or she will be able to assess the situation and any foreseeable chain of potential complications. This is why it is best not to delay calling us. We will then be able to evaluate the best intervention: Pruning? A guying? A felling? The decision will be made according to several parameters, including the safety of property, buildings, infrastructure and people.   

Branches located at low height

The branches at the base of a tree do not get as much light as the higher ones. So, to counteract this disadvantage, they tend to grow in width to absorb more light.  As the diameter of such branches is often quite large, a loss of stability, and therefore a need for support, may ensue. This is when bracing comes to the rescue. This method can prevent significant removal of branches.    ​

Free evaluation

Guying is a technique to be reserved for experts. Knowledge is indeed essential in order to correctly assess the situation, and to lead to the right strategy of cable placement. The potential future consequences, on goods, people, the solidity or precariousness of the tree constitution, the future trajectory of its development... these are all points to consider before proceeding. The professional will also select the appropriate tools and techniques adapted to the situation. Sometimes, he will find it necessary to combine pruning with bracing.  
 
If you see a change that you are unsure about, contact us as we can estimate the specific work that is appropriate for your trees. All pre-work estimates are free. Take advantage of it! Tree removal certificate Brossard city
