Cabling and bracing for Aurora specimen trees
When an Aurora specimen tree develops a structural defect, the right question is whether cabling can buy meaningful time. We assess included bark unions, co-dominant stems, and weak crotches on Aurora specimens individually and install ISA-compliant dynamic or static systems where they make sense. Documentation is provided for future arborist inspections.
“On Aurora properties cabling a feature tree often makes more sense than replacing it. The replacement is twenty years behind in scale.”

Cabling Aurora trees exposed to wind.
Large Aurora trees standing alone on open lots or along a cleared edge take more wind than trees in a stand. Cabling can help the ones with weak structure.
Open lots and edge exposure
When the woods around a tree are cleared, it loses the shelter of its neighbors. Big oaks and maples left standing on open Aurora lots or along a new edge now take the full force of storms, and any weakness in their structure is tested more often. A tree with two main stems and a weak union is especially at risk.
A cable rigged high between the main stems keeps them from swaying apart, which takes the load off the union. We check the union, the wood and the roots first. A tree with significant decay or a heaving root plate needs a different answer, and he'll tell you so.
Which trees are worth it
Cabling makes the most sense for trees that are healthy, valuable and in a good location, like a big oak shading the house or a specimen tree in the front yard. It's rarely worth it for short-lived species with chronic weak structure, such as Bradford pears, which are better replaced.
Cabled trees need inspection every one to two years and after major storms, since the defect doesn't go away and hardware needs adjustment as the tree grows. We install to ANSI A300 standards and document each install. A Tree Health Membership keeps cabled trees on a regular inspection schedule.

Common questions
Cabling & Bracing FAQs for Aurora
Have a question not answered here? Call (330) 221-1617.
Should I cable a Bradford pear?
Usually not. Bradford pears have chronic weak structure and short lives. Planned replacement with a sturdier species is the better investment.
Can cabling protect a big oak on an open lot?
If the oak has sound wood and a weak union, a cable can reduce the risk of the union failing in strong wind. We inspect it first.
How often do cabled trees need checking?
Every one to two years, and after any strong storm.
