Tree Cabling & Bracing Services in the Denver Metro Area
Not all trees that look weak or unstable need to be removed. With professional tree cabling and bracing, many can be preserved, protected, and enjoyed for years to come. At Colorado Tree & Lawn Specialists, our ISA-certified arborists provide expert cabling and bracing services across the Denver Metro area to help stabilize valuable trees and reduce the risk of damage from storms, high winds, or heavy limbs.
What Is Tree Cabling and Bracing?
Tree cabling and bracing are support systems designed to strengthen weak or compromised trees.
-
Cabling uses strong steel cables installed high in the canopy to reduce stress on branches and limit movement during storms.
-
Bracing involves installing steel rods through weak unions or split trunks to give extra support at the tree’s core.
Together, these methods help extend the life of your trees, improve safety, and protect your property from falling limbs.

When Do Trees Need Cabling or Bracing?
You may need tree cabling or bracing if your tree shows:
Split or cracked trunks and branches
Multiple heavy limbs growing from the same joint
Large branches hanging over your home, driveway, or power lines
Signs of stress after a storm or heavy snowfall
A valuable or historic tree you want to preserve
If left untreated, these weaknesses can lead to dangerous breaks or complete tree failure. Our arborists can assess the structure of your tree and recommend whether cabling, bracing, or removal is the safest option.
