Cabling and bolting

A technique that strengthens the tree!

Cabling and bolting is a technique that consolidates vulnerable parts of the tree, minimizing the risk of falls and damage to both the tree and surrounding structures.

What is tree cabling and bolting?

Stabilizing weak trees

Cabling and bolting is a crucial solution for preserving a tree that has suffered damage, for example as a result of storm-induced shaking. By installing guy wires, we can reinforce vulnerable parts of the tree, limiting the risk of falling or further damage. These special cables are strategically positioned around the trunk or branches to support weakened areas, providing essential support for the tree’s stability.

Cabling and bolting is also beneficial for newly planted young trees, helping to keep them balanced until their roots are sufficiently anchored. By opting for this solution, you help prolong the life of your tree while protecting your property from the risk of damage.

Sanitation pruning is frequently required in conjunction with tree bracing to lighten and balance the tree’s structure. Guying secures fragile trees by preventing further separation of weakened parts.

Cabling and bolting reinforces parts of trees that are in danger of falling or that weaken the tree's structure. Forks are one of the reasons for guying.

Our tree pruners use two methods to tie a split tree in two:

Cabling and bolting are highly resistant to bad weather, but pruning is necessary to ensure that the guy wires remain effective.

Certified arboriculturists

It's crucial to call in a professional arborist to install cabling and bolting, to ensure the safety and stability of your tree.
