Installation of a tree bracing system to reinforce a tree's structure. We can install our system in your tree to prevent breakage and provide protection if larger breakage does occur. Great for trees with very small V crotches on large sections. We use a newer system installed in your trees instead of actual metal cables drilled into the trunk. This is overall better for your trees and here are some in-depth details: 

Tree Guard Non-Invasive Dynamic Cabling:

Protect your trees better with Tree Guard dynamic cabling. This noninvasive tree support system does a better job of supporting trees than steel cable because the system has the ability to flex as the tree moves in wind or under ice and snow. If the system is overloaded, specially designed over-load indicators become visible on the slings used to install it - a vast improvement over static steel cable which can fail without visible warning. Because Tree Guard installation uses slings wrapped around the stems to be supported and spliced rope to connect them, there is no drilling in the tree. This helps preserve the integrity of a marginal tree, and can mean a more successful preservation.

All cabling systems have to be inspected and periodically maintained. Tree Guard is easier to inspect than any other tree support system because of the overload indicators built into the slings which are clearly visible from the ground. These indicators become visible when the system load exceeds 75%. When the customer sees that in their tree, they know it is time to call you. Tree Guard line comes in two different elasticities, either 5% or 20%, which allows cabling systems to be better customized according to the specific needs of the individual tree. Because it uses slings, Tree guard does not place the line around the trunk, which prevents the throat of the eye splice being forced open over time as the tree grows.

Pictures of the support system we use

V-Crotches like this one are good candidates for supporting so splitting does not occur here.

This area could fail and split the tree in half.
