Cabling and bolting
A technique that strengthens the tree!
Cabling and bolting reinforces fragile parts of the tree’s structure, reducing the risk of falls and damage to both the tree and surrounding infrastructure.
What is tree cabling and bolting?
Stabilizing a weakened tree
Stabilizing a weakened treeCabling and bolting is an essential solution for saving your tree after it has suffered damage, such as shaking during severe storms. By using guy wires, we can stabilize parts of the tree that have become fragile, reducing the risk of falling and further damage. These specially designed cables are strategically placed around the trunk or branches to reinforce weakened areas, providing vital support to the tree.
What’s more, cabling and bolting is also beneficial for newly planted young trees, keeping them in balance until their roots have fully developed. By investing in guying, you can extend the life of your beloved tree and protect your property from potential damage.
Often, sanitation pruning is required at the same time as guying to remove weight and balance the tree’s structure. Cabling and bolting secures any dangerous tree so that it doesn’t separate further.
Cabling and bolting reinforces parts of trees that are in danger of falling or that weaken the tree's structure. Forks are one of the reasons for guying.

Cabling and bolting are highly resistant to bad weather, but pruning is necessary to ensure that the guy wires remain effective.
