Tree Cabling & Bracing Services in Northern Ireland

Cabling and bracing is a proactive method of strengthening trees that may be at risk of splitting or breaking. McAuley’s offers professional cabling and bracing services across Northern Ireland to protect trees, property, and people.

Our team assesses each tree to determine the most suitable support system, using non-invasive methods wherever possible. This may involve installing steel cables or flexible braces to redistribute weight and reduce strain on weaker limbs.

Cabling and bracing is often recommended when:

  • Trees have weak or co-dominant stems

  • Large, heavy branches pose a risk of failure

  • Trees of heritage or amenity value need protection

  • Storm damage has weakened a tree but removal is not desired

By choosing this service, you can extend the life of valued trees while ensuring safety and stability in your outdoor space.

Cabling & Bracing FAQs

Most cabling systems last between 10 and 15 years, though they should be inspected regularly to ensure they remain effective and safe.
When installed correctly by professionals, modern cabling and bracing systems are designed to be minimally invasive and will not harm the long-term health of the tree.
Cabling is a good option when a tree is healthy overall but has structural weaknesses. It provides extra support without losing the environmental, aesthetic, and heritage value of the tree.
