Tree cabling,Longueuil

This practice consists of stabilizing or reinforcing, with the help of more or less flexible shrouds, those parts of a tree that are weak and susceptible to breakage. It is therefore a preventive intervention, which takes into account the long-term health of the tree. It can avoid the need to cut branches or even resort to felling. 
  
There are several reasons for guying. One application of this principle that most people are familiar with is the use of a stake for recently planted young trees. This can prevent them from being uprooted in high winds, for example. Here are other situations that require the installation of cables. 

Problem of structure

A tree that has plenty of room to grow benefits from so much light that it can develop too much antlers for what its base can support. This imbalance in the structure must be corrected by a combination of pruning and guying techniques to prevent future problems. ​

In addition, certain branches are essential to the shape of the tree or have an important role to play in its aesthetic value. They may, however, need to be reinforced with a suitable support, in order to reduce the risk of accidents. Call Emondage Longueuil Pro at 450-823-3274 to describe your situation so that we can check whether one of your trees needs this intervention. ​

Branches weakened as a result of a storm

In urban areas, trees are not protected by the density of the forest and can be more easily damaged by high winds. Fortunately, guying can save trees in many cases, by connecting certain branches together to prevent one of them from eventually falling. This practice greatly reduces the risk of a weakened branch breaking and falling, even if it is partially broken. Report on the condition of your trees after the next thunderstorm, then contact your Emondage Longueuil Pro tree care company if you notice any damage. 

Multi-trunk trees

When a tree has several trunks, its different sections compete with each other. Also, as the sections move away from the center and towards the sides, there is an increasing risk that the tree will split at the junction of the trunks. This could lead to the proliferation of insects or the development of disease. Even worse, if an entire section of the tree fell, the consequences would be serious for nearby buildings, as well as for residents or passers-by. Guy wires can be used to stabilize the trunks towards the center. 

Cracked trunk

We strongly recommend that you call upon our expertise as soon as possible when you discover that the trunk of one of your trees is split. The consequences for your tree could be disastrous if you delay. We will determine whether it is appropriate to prune and guy the tree, or whether the tree must unfortunately be felled to ensure the safety of people and buildings.

Low branches

The problem with branches located in the lower part of a tree is that they don't get as much light as those at the top, causing them to grow sideways to find the sun's rays. These branches often have a large diameter and will sooner or later need support. The use of shrouds can avoid the need to remove these bulky branches. 

Free evaluation

The guying should not be tried by amateurs. Before proceeding with the installation of cables, a qualified arborist takes the time to properly analyze the problem, evaluate the risks (for infrastructures and individuals), as well as to consider the solidity of the tree and its future development following the intervention. He then determines the type of equipment needed and the best installation technique for the situation. In many cases, it must accompany the guying of the pruning to obtain optimal results and ensure the tree's vitality.
