Tree Cabling Solutions That Protect & Preserve
Not every structurally weak tree needs to be cut down.
At STS Arborists, our certified experts install professional tree cabling systems that stabilize vulnerable limbs, extend the life of valuable trees, and protect your property from unexpected damage – all while keeping your landscape safe and beautiful.
Whether you’re protecting your investment, enhancing your landscape, or ensuring safety on your property, we bring decades of experience and a genuine passion for trees to every job.
Over time, trees can develop weak branch unions or heavy limbs that put them at risk of breaking. Instead of removal, professional tree cabling provides added support, reduces failure risk, and helps preserve your trees for years to come.
Why Tree Cabling Matters
-
Preserve Mature & Historic Trees
Cabling helps keep significant trees in place instead of removing them. -
Reduce Risk of Failure
Properly installed cables stabilize weak branch unions and reduce the likelihood of storm damage. -
Protect Property & Safety
Prevents dangerous limb or canopy failures that could cause damage or injury. -
Support Tree Health
Stabilized trees are less stressed and able to thrive naturally.
Our Cabling Services
Static Cabling (EHS Cable)
We use extra-high-strength (EHS) steel cables to support weak unions or heavy limbs. These static systems provide strong, long-lasting reinforcement while meeting ANSI A300 standards.
Dynamic Cabling (Optional)
In select cases, we may recommend dynamic support systems that allow limited natural movement while reducing risk. This can be beneficial for certain tree structures or species.

Tree Cabling FAQs
How do I know if my tree needs cabling?
Common signs include co-dominant stems (two trunks growing together), weak branch unions, or oversized limbs that pose a risk. An arborist inspection is the best way to know.
Does cabling harm the tree?
No. Proper cabling is minimally invasive and designed to protect the tree while maintaining its natural growth.
How long does a cabling system last?
Typically 10–20 years depending on tree growth, weather, and site conditions. Systems should be inspected every 2–3 years.
Can cabling replace pruning?
Cabling is often paired with pruning to reduce weight and stress on heavy branches. The two methods work together for best results.
