Cabling and Bracing

Certain species of trees grow in a way, such as becoming V-shaped, that makes them a liability. Damage causing a split or crack in the tree can become problematic. However, trees can have these abnormalities and remain in overall good health. If that’s the case, cabling and bracing can be an effective solution.

Tree Service FAQ's

Should I prune or remove my tree?

If your tree is healthy and free of structural concerns, pruning is your best option for maintaining health and safety. Removal becomes the best option when your tree has significant decay, disease, or structural defects such as cracking. Your Consulting Arborist can help you make a decision as to which is most appropriate for your tree.

Do I need to fertilize my tree?

Urban trees benefit greatly from fertilization. Nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium can be in short supply in the city. Spring and Fall fertilization will improve the health of the  above- and below-ground portions of your tree.

Is my tree safe?

All trees pose risk, and no tree can be considered 100% “safe”. However, your Consulting Arborist can help you understand your risk and help you make a decision as to whether the risk is acceptable or not.  A tree with no structural or health concerns can be a worry-free part of your yard for generations.

What kind of tree do I have?

There are approximately 150-200 species of trees that can live in the Louisville area.  However, 25 species make up about 95% of the specimens. Pin Oak, Sugar Maple, Red  Maple, and Black Walnut are a few common species. Phone Apps such as PictureThis  are great tools to identify and catalog every plant in your yard.

How often do I need to prune my tree?

It’s important to prune new trees after the first year of planting. This will establish good structure early on that will prevent costly pruning later on. As your tree gets older, you’ll want to prune out deadwood every four years…similar to Presidential cycles or the  Olympics.
