Holding Kent's old hardwoods together where it makes sense
Some Kent oaks and maples have decades left in them if a single weak union is supported. We install ISA-standard dynamic and static cable systems where the tree warrants it.

Cabling and bracing for mature Kent trees
Cabling is not a fix for every tree — it is a fix for the right tree with the right defect. Tyler assesses co-dominant stems, included bark, and weak unions on Kent properties to decide whether a cable is the right call, whether bracing rods are needed, or whether the safer call is removal. When cabling is appropriate, we install to ISA A300 standards and document the install so future inspections have a reference.
“In Kent I have cabled silver maples that are now twenty years past when other crews said cut it. The trick is knowing which ones are candidates.”
— Tyler Griffith, ISA Certified Arborist

Common questions
Cabling & Bracing FAQs for Kent
Have a question not answered below? Call Tyler at (330) 221-1617.
How do I know if my tree in Kent needs cabling?
Common indicators include co-dominant stems (two main trunks splitting from a single base), included bark at the union, visible cracks, or a history of limb failure. Tyler assesses structural risk during the estimate.
How long does tree cabling last in Kent?
Dynamic cable systems typically last 10–15 years depending on tree growth and cable condition. Tyler recommends periodic re-inspection to make sure the system is still appropriately sized.
Is cabling cheaper than tree removal in Kent?
Often yes, and it preserves the tree. Cabling is only appropriate for certain conditions — Tyler will tell you honestly whether cabling addresses the actual risk or whether removal is the safer long-term option.
