Some of the most beautiful trees in Rockford have structural weaknesses that put them at risk — split trunks, co-dominant stems, or heavy overextended limbs. Rather than removing a tree that still has years of life in it, cabling and bracing can give it the support it needs to stand safely for decades more.
Rockford's large white pines and mature oaks — especially those near homes in the older neighborhoods — sometimes develop structural issues that respond well to cabling. This preserves the trees that give Rockford its wooded character.
