Protect Your Trees And Property With A Tree Cabling System

Tree cabling systems are designed to reduce risk and promote healthy trees. We offer dynamic Cobra support systems, static steel cable with stoppers, 1/2" thru bolts, and custom-built guys, staking, braces, and props. We strive to save your trees rather than remove them. 


We provide support systems for: 


  • Weak Trees
  • Young Trees
  • Newly Transplanted Trees
  • Damaged Trees
  • Trees Along Streets And Highways


Support systems help your trees withstand high winds, heavy snow, ice build-up, and Seattle storms that would otherwise lead to branch and trunk breakage. Our arborists and tree care specialists can evaluate your trees and design a support system that encourages strong vertical growth and reduces the risk to your safety during storms.

Our Tree Cabling Systems

Tree cabling systems provide supplemental support to leaders, individual branches,  and entire trees. Cables, braces, guys, and props limit the movement and encourage vertical growth. When a tree has a structural defect that poses a high likelihood of failure, which can cause injury or property damage, a support system can reduce this risk. 


We can install support systems to vulnerable parts of your tree to prevent movement and provide strength, including:

  • Codominant Stems
  • Heavy Branches
  • Overhanging Branches
  • Weakly Anchored Trees (trees transplanted with an insufficient root ball)

Pruning and trimming can resolve risks associated with codominant stems and overhanging branches, particularly on younger trees. However, the only other alternative for weakly anchored trees is removal.

How Long Do Support Systems Last?

Tree support systems have a limited service life. Our arborist suggests periodic inspections of your tree support system. We inspect the cable tension, condition of the cable and associated hardware, its height in the tree, and the tree’s structural integrity. 


Steel cables can last 20 to 40 years on a slow-growing tree. Cable service life can be shorter in an area exposed to salt spray or with a rapidly growing tree. 


Guy systems on newly transplanted small trees should be removed after one year unless the root system is weak. On trees uprooted after storms or large transplants, guys should remain in place for at least three years to allow the root system to reestablish itself. On mature trees, guy systems can remain permanently if required.

What If A Support System Cannot Save My Tree?

Unfortunately, support systems cannot solve every tree strength issue. If support systems do not provide the strength and security your trees need, our tree care specialists can provide tree removal services to ensure your safety.

Winter is the perfect time for essential tree maintenance. Dormant trees are easier to assess and prune, and proactive care during the off-season can prevent damage from storms and ensure a vibrant landscape come spring. Whether you’re managing storm-related issues, pruning for health and productivity, or preparing for the growing season, this guide will help you keep your trees in peak condition. 1. Emergency Tree Services for Winter Storms Winter storms in Seattle often bring heavy rain, wind, and snow, leading to tree damage such as broken branches, uprooted trunks, or fallen limbs. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to preventing further risks. Post-Storm Inspections: Look for hazardous conditions like cracks, hanging branches, or leaning trees. Hazard Tree Removal: Remove trees that pose an immediate risk to your home, power lines, or roadways. Storm Damage Prevention: Prune overextended or weakened branches before storms hit to minimize hazards. At Sound Tree Care, we specialize in emergency tree services, including hazard tree removal and post-storm cleanup, ensuring your property is safe and secure. 2. Prune Trees in Winter for Health and Productivity Winter pruning is an essential task for maintaining tree health and safety. Without leaves, it’s easier to see a tree’s structure and address potential problems. Structural Pruning: Remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches to reduce risk and encourage strong growth. Aesthetic Pruning: Shape trees for improved appearance and safety. Special Focus on Fruit and Nut Trees Orchard Pruning : Prune apple, cherry, and pear trees to enhance fruit production by increasing air circulation and sunlight exposure. Nut Tree Care: Winter pruning of walnut and pecan trees prevents sap loss during the growing season and promotes healthier growth. Our ISA Certified Arborists offer expert orchard pruning and maintenance to maximize your trees’ productivity and longevity. 3. Tree Risk Assessment : Prioritize Safety and Longevity Winter is an ideal time to evaluate tree health and assess risks, especially in urban environments like Seattle. A thorough tree risk assessment includes: Inspecting for cracks, decay, or weakened roots. Evaluating the likelihood of branch or whole tree failure. Identifying potential hazards to nearby homes, vehicles, and pedestrians. Sound Tree Care’s certified arborists provide comprehensive evaluations to ensure your trees are safe and your property protected. 4. Seattle Tree Care : Preparing for Spring Growth Seattle’s mild winters make it possible to prepare your landscape for a vibrant spring. Key steps include: Fertilizing: Use a slow-release fertilizer to replenish nutrients. Mulching: Protect roots with a 2–4 inch layer of mulch to insulate and retain moisture. Pest Control: Address overwintering pests like Bronze Birch Borer or Wooly Adelgid to prevent spring infestations.
