Proper tree care and maintenance includes cabling, bracing, repairing, and saving trees that have split or are at risk of splitting. In many cases, these structural issues are among the Signs You Need a Tree Risk Assessment, especially when large limbs or multiple trunks show signs of weakness. Happy Tree Service installs cables and braces to provide structural support to valued trees. Properly installed and maintained, these support features can extend the life of a tree by decades, thereby preserving the aesthetic charm of your property.
At Happy Tree Expert Tree Services & Arborist in Austin, we can help you evaluate if cabling or bracing are recommended for any of your trees. We also help property owners understand Tree Topping vs. Crown Reduction, since improper pruning practices can increase structural weakness and make support systems less effective. Our cabling service is not a cure-all for every arboreal situation. In some cases, we may recommend other treatments, including complete tree removal. Depending on the tree’s condition, structural pruning, What Deadwooding Is and Why Austin Trees Need It, cabling, or removal may all be part of the best long-term management plan for your property.

Let me tell you, I got so many different bids and different tree companies to come out and look at my trees. Evan said just a few words and I knew Happy Tree Service was the one. He REALLY knows trees and cares about your trees. We had to make a tough decision about cutting down a tree and he even called his father to get exact instructions so we would be successful at having a branch root and start over with the same tree.
Happy Tree Service trimmed all of our trees today. We have lots of very tall trees and they were in need of a good pruning. The crew showed up this morning, did a great job, cleaned everything up very nicely and all for a fair price. We are very happy with how our trees look and will definitely use this company again. Thanks Happy Tree Service from some happy customers!
My yard was completely overtaken by trees and overgrowth, and Happy Tree Service came to the rescue. They did a great job clearing out the overgrowth and now my yard looks so nice and clean! They also did a really nice job cleaning up my oak trees that had been recently damaged. I appreciate the professional customer service, quick response time, and excellent follow-up of Happy Tree Service!
