Compromised root systems are the most common problems that can cause an emergency tree removal. Other alternatives include a complex system of screws and cables to brace limbs from straying to far away from trunk equilibrium. At Aurora Tree Service, we are experts in analyzing compromised roots and limbs to prescribe the best course of action. We are a licensed and insured tree service which means that we have the proper training and equipment to execute a proper cabling and bracing. Structural failure is the main concern when trees begin to develop improper branching habits. Other species of trees may be less vulnerable to external factors like wind, snow, or ice. They may, however, be subject to dense crop yields like fruit or nuts that contribute to potential foundation failure. Other factors can also cause a cabling service to be required such as improper pruning of the branches. This can happen when weaker areas within the canopy begin to decay and they become a deadweight mass that can damage branches below and further damage the integrity of the tree trunk.

Licensed and Insured Tree Service In the rare event where a cabling and bracing service is required, it is best to stray from the DIY approach. Having the knowledge and experience to execute a proper screw and tie in is paramount when it comes to completing the job in short-order. Trusting a licensed and insured professional is the only way that one of these offerings should be executed. There is a long list of videos online that will give you a way to do the project yourself. This is often a dangerous and technically challenging undertaking and should only be done by a team that does it as a licensed entity. Being a licensed tree service in Aurora CO, it is no secret that we are experts in all things cabling and bracing. For more than 20 years we have been offering this service to preserve the integrity of the trees that are so prevalent in the Denver, Centennial, and Aurora area. Each of our crew members is trained in the proper industry techniques that allows them to execute every job safely and efficiently. Furthermore, every project will be overseen by one of our certified arborists to ensure that the transaction and with both the tree and customer goes smoothly. ​ The Technicalities of Cabling and Bracing ​Installing bracing rods and cables can be particularly dangerous when the limbs and canopy are higher than 10-15 feet off the ground. Having access to a boom truck minimizes the chances of an accident occurring. Alternatively, a tree climber will be equipped with the proper tools to execute the function at a higher level. When this service is used, the ideal outcome is to add support between weak limbs and structures. In a best-case scenario, the redistribution of weight, fostered by the cabling, will allow the trunk and branches to support each other in a more coherent manner. Bracing rods will be more applicable in a scenario where limbs are growing away from each other in a “crotch-V” formation. Bolting the two arms together will give the structure more support but will not offer any certainty in preventing a foundational failure. It is also important to consider that once these apparatuses are installed, they require semi-annual check up and maintenance.
