Tree Support Systems

Tree support systems are installed in trees to provide additional support, or to mitigate the risk posed by a tree or tree part failing.
These include cables, braces, props and guys.
A tree support system is essentially designed specifically for the tree, the situation and the desired outcome.

Tree removal may be as simple as cutting from the ground or may require rigging or additional equipment such as a crane or excavator.
