Benefits of Installing Structural Supports & Protective Systems
1
Strengthens weak trees
Structural support systems stabilize young or structurally compromised trees, giving them the foundation they need to thrive.
2
Preserves tree health
Protective systems shield trees from environmental hazards like harsh weather, animal damage, or construction activities.
3
Prevents property damage
Reinforcing trees reduces the risk of branches or trunks failing, safeguarding your home, vehicles, and other property assets.
4
Prolongs tree longevity
By addressing structural issues and mitigating external stressors, these systems extend the life and health of your trees.
Types of Protection Systems We Offer
Cable and Brace Installation
Ideal for trees with weak limbs, split trunks, or overextended branches, our cable and brace systems provide supplemental support. Using high-strength steel cables and braces, we reinforce the tree's structure, reducing the risk of failure and ensuring safety during storms or high winds.
New Tree Supports
Young or newly planted trees often need extra stability as they establish their root systems. We install sturdy stakes, guy wires, and straps to support growth while minimizing stress to the trunk and roots.
Deer Protection Systems
Deer can cause significant damage by rubbing their antlers on trunks or eating foliage. We offer a range of solutions, including durable trunk guards, fencing, and repellents, to protect your trees from wildlife damage.
Construction Site Tree Protection
Construction activities can be particularly harmful to nearby trees, causing root compaction, trunk damage, or branch breakage. We can provide protective barriers, root zone fencing, and other strategies to shield trees from harm while allowing construction to proceed safely.
Winterization Services
Winter weather can strain trees through heavy snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. Our winterization services include wrapping trunks, mulching root zones, and applying anti-desiccant sprays to protect trees from frost and dehydration.
Situations Requiring Support or Protection Systems
- Mature trees with structural weakness. Older trees with heavy limbs or split trunks often require cable and brace systems to prevent failure.
- Young or newly planted trees. Supporting young trees ensures they grow straight and strong, avoiding issues caused by wind or unstable soil.
- Trees in high wildlife areas. If deer or other wildlife are common in your area, protective measures can prevent significant damage to trunks, bark, and foliage.
- Construction near trees. Building projects can harm tree roots and bark. Proper protective systems mitigate damage and preserve the tree’s health.
- Seasonal weather risks. Trees prone to damage from snow, ice, or freezing temperatures benefit from winter-specific protective measures.
FAQs About Structural Support & Protection Systems
-
How do I know if my tree needs structural support?
Trees with split trunks, heavy limbs, or signs of instability are good candidates for cable and brace systems. Young or newly planted trees may also need supports to ensure proper growth.
-
What is included in your deer protection services?
We offer trunk guards, fencing, and repellents designed to prevent deer from rubbing against or eating your trees.
-
What does winterization involve?
Winterization includes wrapping trunks to prevent frost damage, mulching around the base to insulate roots, and applying anti-desiccant sprays to prevent dehydration during freezing weather.
-
Are structural supports and protective systems harmful to trees?
No, our methods and equipment are designed to be minimally invasive and not harmful to the tree.
-
Do I need to protect my trees during construction?
Implementing protective measures during construction is essential for preserving your tree's long-term health and can save you significant costs in the future. Investing in tree protection now helps avoid expensive remedies later, such as removing damaged trees, addressing property damage, or replacing mature landscaping. Proactive care is a cost-effective solution that safeguards both your trees and your wallet.
