Liberty Tree Service installs cabling and bracing systems throughout Round Rock, Austin, and the surrounding Central Texas area, led by ISA Certified Arborists who assess a tree’s structural risk before recommending support instead of removal. Cabling is the right call for trees with co-dominant trunks, included bark, heavy limbs over a structure, or a history of storm damage—situations where a tree is otherwise healthy but structurally at risk. It’s a preservation tool, not a fix for a dying or severely decayed tree, and our arborists will tell you honestly when removal is the safer call instead.
1. Structural Risk Assessment
Our ISA Certified Arborists inspect the tree’s branch unions, trunk structure, and any history of damage to determine if cabling can meaningfully reduce risk.
2. Cabling Plan
We identify which limbs or unions need support and where cables or braces should be placed for the best structural benefit.
3. Installation
Using industry-standard hardware, we install steel cables or braces to redistribute load and reduce the risk of splitting or limb failure.
4. Site Cleanup
Work areas are cleared and any debris from the climb or installation is hauled away.
5. Final Walkthrough
We walk the tree with you before we leave to explain what was installed and what to watch for going forward.

Cabling is steel support installed between limbs or trunks to reduce the risk of splitting, typically for trees with co-dominant trunks, included bark, or heavy limbs over a structure.
Cabling helps prevent future structural failure in an otherwise healthy tree—it isn’t a repair for a tree that’s already severely decayed or dying, and we’ll tell you honestly if that’s the case.
Installed correctly, cabling causes minimal impact and is designed to reduce stress on weak unions, not add to it.
Cable systems typically last many years but should be inspected periodically, especially after major storms, to confirm hardware is still sound.
Often, yes—and it preserves a mature tree instead of losing it, but the right choice depends on the tree’s overall health and risk, which we’ll assess honestly.
