Tree bracing and tree cabling - MontrealYou may have heard of guying? It is one of the techniques used on trees. These techniques aim to ensure the stability of a tree or a part of it, when it has been compromised. In other words, the whole tree or one of its parts is no longer standing. If the affected part remains in this situation, breakage could occur. The purpose of stabilization is therefore preventive, as it seeks to avoid future damage to the plant, including the possible need to prune or cut it down.
If a case of precariousness occurs to one of your trees, it is indicated that you should call a company experienced in the field of tree maintenance. Among other devices, specialists use guy wires. These are simply cables installed with different levels of tension, depending on the results you are looking for. They are conscientious workers who know their business and know, among other things, the precautions to be taken to give the best possible chances for the autonomous stabilization of the segment or the whole plant concerned, in addition to ensuring the optimal arboricultural development. When a tree is put at risk by its destabilization, guying it allows it, among other additional advantages, to stand more solidly against the weather. |

You already know one of the techniques of guying, namely the most known, the staking. Did you know that when we install a stake, either wood or metal, we plant it in the ground and attach it to the tree to help it grow in a stable manner? All forms of guying have this objective. So let's take a look at the different situations where guying is useful.
What to do if the structure of one of your trees is out of balance?
You have certainly realized that: In the city, unlike in country or forest conditions, a tree has much more surrounding space for its development. The downside of this is that sunlight is not blocked by the shade caused by the conditions of development in a more or less dense area. The branching of the tree can therefore grow a little too quickly to the point of causing destabilization of the plant. If your trees are in this situation, what can you do?
There is a special technique that can save the situation, or rather your tree! Our specialists can combine two techniques. On the one hand, they will proceed to a pruning, then to a guying; they will work so that the tree is stabilized.
However, some branches are essential to the structure or the aesthetic aspect of these green and lively pillars that embellish your property. Don't worry, these critical branches will not be touched unless they no longer serve their purpose.
In such a case, you can contact Emondage Montreal's team in complete confidence at 514-900-1130. They will be able to answer your questions and judge what tree care service you need. If it's a question of bracing, they will agree with you when to go on site to estimate your needs, with the goal, without any obligation on your part, of giving you a quote. This way, you will be able to make an informed decision while being aware of the real condition of your large plants.

Are you aware that it is important to inspect your trees after a storm?
Another problem with trees that have plenty of room to grow in urban conditions is that they do not shelter each other from the winds. If these winds blow with force, they can seriously damage branches, including important ones.
Rest assured, our team knows how to intervene. If tying branches together is the best way, our arborists will know exactly where to do it and with what tension. This will be a way to reproduce on a small scale some of the mutual support experienced in the forest. This way can avoid a complete break in the future.
We therefore advise you, after a storm has hit, to inspect each time for any breakage or potential destabilization of your plants. In this case, you may wonder why you should call us. However, by doing so, you could either be reassured that everything is indeed fine, or be warned of a situation requiring a preventive intervention to avoid future complications. With our team, you will know where you stand. Call 514-900-1130 to reach Emondage Montreal, no matter what tree care service you need from our arborists.

A small crack in a multi-trunk tree: should you intervene?
As you know, when a tree has more than one trunk, the development situation is not easy for the plant. Indeed, each section has its own branching, which lacks central space and must therefore grow outwards, forcing the trunks to grow at an angle. Thus, each section plays with its branches as one pushes to take a place. The pressure on the wood can cause the trunks to split at the point of union.
You might think that, whatever, it's too small to worry about. And you're not the only one who thinks so, rest assured. However, the smallest crack can make some happy, no matter how lilliputian they are. Perhaps you are beginning to guess? Insects, indeed, as well as diseases. Their possible installation represents a risk of serious deterioration of the situation.
In the long run, a structural branch could collapse to the ground, and, who knows, maybe a large section of tree! If buildings or sheds are in the path of the fall, they could be damaged. And if it is people who are passing by at that moment, they could be injured more or less seriously.
Keep in mind that guy wires can be used to stabilize elements that are at risk of becoming precarious in a tree, and this in a preventive manner.

Did you know that a crack in a trunk is not harmless?
The corollary to the above is that regular inspection of your trees is essential. Your task is to use your eye to spot cracks and contact our trusted tree care team. We can advise you on the best course of action, and direct you to bracing, pruning, or even felling in rare circumstances. Our specialists weigh several criteria, including the safety of people, infrastructure, buildings and property.
Did you know that low branches that are too wide can harm a tree?
Common sense tells us that the upper branches receive more sunlight than the lower ones. This is why the latter must know how to make their place if they want to take advantage of the light to grow. So, having tricks in their bark, they will grow horizontally to absorb the light laterally. These branches often come to have a very large diameter. This can cause the tree to lose its balance.
Here again, bracing can be of great service. By contacting us early enough to evaluate the situation, a future severe pruning could be avoided. It is thanks to a trustworthy partnership with experts that you will ensure the optimal development of your plants.
