Large, mature trees add beauty and value — but when branches weaken, trunks split, or storms cause structural stress, a tree can quickly become a hazard.
Tree cabling and bracing strengthens weak limbs and stabilizes compromised structures, reducing the risk of falling branches, trunk failure, and storm damage.
At Ponce Tree Services, our certified arborists install high-strength, industry-approved support systems to increase safety, extend tree life, and protect your property.
High-tension steel cables used to reinforce mature or heavy branches..
Flexible, shock-absorbing systems that move with the tree for healthier long-term growth.
Steel rods that stabilize split trunks or prevent further cracking.
Reinforces trees weakened by weather or impact.
Ideal for historic, showcase, or sentimental trees.
Our certified arborist examines limb structure, trunk strength, and failure risks.
We select the correct support method: static cable, dynamic cable, brace rods, or a combination.
We install hardware using ANSI A300 arborist standards to avoid harming the tree.
Support systems are inspected periodically to ensure safety and performance.
Cabling and bracing provides several important benefits for trees that are structurally weak or at risk of failure. By adding strategic support, these systems reduce the likelihood of limb breakage or full tree collapse, significantly increasing safety around your property. They help protect homes, vehicles, fences, and outdoor structures from falling branches, especially during heavy winds and storms.
This service also extends the life of older, damaged, or storm-weakened trees by stabilizing weakened joints and distributing weight more evenly. Because cabling can prevent major structural failures, it is often a far more affordable and effective alternative to full tree removal. In many cases, it also allows you to preserve high-value or historic trees that hold personal, aesthetic, or environmental significance.
We’re fully licensed and insured, giving you confidence that every job is performed to professional standards — with zero risk to you.
Our reputation across Dallas–Fort Worth is built on trust, transparency, and results you can see.
Q: Will cabling or bracing hurt my tree?
No. When installed correctly, support systems are minimally invasive and do not harm the tree.
Q: How long do cables and braces last?
Most systems last 10–15 years and require periodic inspection.
Q: Can any tree be cabled?
Most can, but severely compromised trees may require removal instead — we’ll advise you honestly.
Q: Does cabling guarantee my tree won’t fail?
No support system is 100%, but cabling significantly reduces failure risk.
