Tree Bolting/Cabling
Providing essential structural support to preserve your valuable trees and prevent failure during high winds and storms.
Structural Reinforcement for Your Landscape
Not every damaged or leaning tree needs to be removed. Tree Bolting and Cabling is a specialized preservation technique used to strengthen trees with structural defects like co-dominant stems or split trunks. At Lariat Tree Services, we install high-strength steel cables and bolts to limit the movement of heavy limbs, reducing the risk of breakage while allowing the tree to continue growing naturally and safely.
Save Your Trees, Protect Your Property
Large, mature trees are irreplaceable assets to your property’s value and history. When a tree develops a crack or a weak crotch, it becomes a liability. Our supplemental support systems provide a “safety net” that redistributes the weight of the canopy. This non-invasive approach is a cost-effective alternative to removal, ensuring that your majestic trees remain a safe and beautiful part of your Calgary landscape.
High-Strength Cabling Systems
We use industrial-grade flexible cables to restrict the distance that branches can move during extreme Calgary weather.
Supportive Through-Bolting
For split trunks or weak unions, we install steel rods that provide rigid support, effectively "locking" the tree’s structure together.
Expert Risk Assessment
Our arborists perform a detailed load-analysis to determine the exact tension and placement needed for maximum safety.
No. When installed correctly by professionals, these systems do not interfere with the tree's nutrient flow and actually extend the tree's life by preventing catastrophic failure.
Modern cabling systems are very durable but should be inspected every 2 to 3 years to ensure the hardware remains secure as the tree grows.
Not every tree is a candidate. We only recommend cabling if the tree has a healthy root system and enough structural integrity to support the hardware.
We install systems high in the canopy where they are mostly obscured by foliage, maintaining the natural aesthetic of your tree.
Expert tree care you can trust. From safe removals to precision pruning, we enhance the beauty and safety of your property with professional integrity.
