Cabling and Bracing Cabling is when a cable is installed in the tree to help reduce stress to a limb crotch area. Cables need to be installed in the proper location and with the proper material. More harm can come from improper installed cables than leaving the tree alone. Bracing is when holes are drilled into the trunk, usually around limb crotch areas, and bolts are installed though the tree. Bracing assists cabling, bracing is usually done with cabling. Cabling and bracing is also a part of tree surgery. Lightening rods are used to protect trees and people from lightening strikes. They also help protect the contents of nearby buildings. Large trees that stand alone are most vulnerable to lightening strikes. Large trees in parks, on golf courses, within ten feet of structures and those with great historic or economic value are good candidates for protection. Lightning strikes are unpredictable and hazardous. Every year numerous stately trees are lost as a result of a devastating lightning strike. A properly installed lightning protection system creates an umbrella of protection to reduce the chance of damage due to a lightning strike. Freeman's Tree Care can evaluate your lightening protection needs. A comprehensive inspection is usually all that's needed to determine what's wrong with a tree. However, more intensive analysis may be required for rare or more challenging conditions. Freeman's Tree Care has an arsenal of tools and testing at our disposal including: Root Excavation: Excavation is used to determine the health of the roots, identify signs of insects and disease and check for root injury. The structure and strength of the roots can also be evaluated. Tissue Testing: If we are uncertain of the exact nature of the insect or disease, samples of the tree's roots, trunk, branches, leaves and buds can be analyzed in a laboratory. Soil Testing: Soil is a critical factor in tree health. Soil samples can be studied to determine the levels of key micro and macro-nutrients, Ph and the soil's ability to hold moisture and transport nutrients to the tree. Depending on the results, aeration, adding nutrients, grading and adjusting the Ph are just a few of the possible actions. Consultation is key to avoiding tree injuries, reducing tree stress, and helping the tree recover from construction stress. Tree consultation involves structure or utility construction. We are called in to minimize damage and stress to trees in the area. During construction, we try to reduce the stress placed on the trees though several different practices. After construction, we strive to return the tree to the same health state as before the construction or as close as possibly. Evaluation Tree evaluation is when we look for possible tree health and structural problems. We follow set rules to find and locate the problem. We give a written statement concerning our findings and recommend remedies. We can also apply the remedies to the tree and soil.
