Preserve the integrity of your mature trees and protect your property from structural failure with the professional cabling and bracing services of Arborman Tree Care. Serving Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and the surrounding Treasure Valley, we specialize in supplemental support systems designed to extend the life of high-value trees that exhibit structural weaknesses.
The Science: Many structural failures occur at ‘co-dominant stems’ — where two or more main trunks grow at equal size from the same point. These unions often develop ‘included bark,’ where bark grows into the joint rather than wood connecting across it, creating a natural weak point. We identify these failure-prone areas before they split under the weight of Treasure Valley snow or high-velocity wind gusts.
Our cabling systems are designed to manage the tree’s ‘dynamic loading’ — the way a tree moves and oscillates during a storm. By installing extra-high-strength steel cables in the upper two-thirds of the canopy, we limit the distance branches can move independently. This redistributes the mechanical stress across the entire tree’s structure rather than allowing it to concentrate on a single weak union.
For trees that have already begun to split or exhibit deep cracks, we utilize heavy-duty bracing rods installed through the trunk to provide rigid, ‘static’ support. This limits torsional (twisting) stress and allows the tree’s vascular system to continue to function while providing the mechanical reinforcement necessary to prevent a catastrophic collapse.
Not every leaning or split tree needs to be removed. With years of experience managing the unique structural challenges of Idaho’s urban forest, we provide the technical solutions required to save trees that others might overlook. We utilize industry-leading hardware and precision installation techniques to ensure your supplemental support system is both effective and minimally invasive.
