At DreamWorks Tree Services, we take a detailed and methodical approach to implementing tree support systems. Each step is designed to ensure the safety of your property and the health of your tree.
In-Depth Tree Inspection
We begin by conducting a thorough visual assessment of the tree’s structure, crown balance, and root zone. Our arborists look for included bark, decay pockets, signs of past storm damage, and weak branch unions. If necessary, we use specialized tools to detect internal weaknesses or hidden fractures.
We also evaluate site-specific factors such as soil compaction, wind exposure, and proximity to buildings or pathways to determine the best reinforcement strategy.
Tree Cabling Installation
- Steel cables are installed high in the canopy between key limbs.
- These cables reduce stress on weak branches and redistribute load more evenly.
- Cabling is designed to stabilize tree movement without completely restricting flexibility, which is vital for natural growth.
Tree Bracing Installation
- Solid steel rods are inserted at or just above weak junctions, typically in the trunk or lower limbs.
- Bracing is ideal for trees with visible splits, multiple stems, or severe attachment issues.
- Bracing is often used in conjunction with cabling to provide full structural reinforcement.
Post-Installation Monitoring
Tree growth and weather events can alter how support systems perform over time. That’s why we recommend scheduled inspections to check cable tension, rod placement, and overall tree response. Adjustments or upgrades are made as needed to maintain safety and effectiveness.
