Tree Surgery

When a valuable tree shows signs of structural weakness, full removal isn't always the answer. At Noah's Park Tree Care, our certified arborists specialize in tree surgery and structural support solutions that can extend the life of your trees, reduce risk, and preserve the natural beauty of your landscape.

Serving Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Incline Village, and beyond, we're Northern Nevada's trusted resource for expert-level tree care that goes beyond pruning.

What Is Tree Surgery?

Tree surgery refers to advanced techniques used to reinforce or restore a tree's structure. While pruning is about shaping and maintaining healthy growth, tree surgery addresses deeper concerns—like split limbs, weak branch unions, or storm damage—that threaten a tree's long-term stability.

At Noah's Park Tree Care, tree surgery typically includes cabling and bracing to support a tree's structural integrity while minimizing stress.

Cabling & Bracing: Save the Tree, Reduce the Risk

Some trees develop structural issues that make them vulnerable to failure—especially under the weight of snow, during high winds, or after storm damage. Instead of removing the tree entirely, our arborists may recommend support systems to stabilize it safely.

Tree Cabling

High-strength steel cables are installed in the upper canopy to reduce the movement of major limbs. This helps redistribute weight and prevent splitting or failure.

Tree Bracing

Threaded steel rods are installed through weak limb unions or cracks in the trunk to reinforce and strengthen the structure.

Both systems are non-invasive to the tree's vascular system and can significantly extend its lifespan when properly installed and monitored.

Performed by ISA Certified Arborists

Noah's Park Tree Care has ten ISA Certified Arborists on staff—more than any other tree care company in Northern Nevada. Every tree surgery project is assessed and overseen by a certified expert with extensive training in arboriculture and structural tree risk assessment.

Our process includes:

  • Detailed visual inspections
  • Risk evaluations based on current health, structure, and site conditions
  • Honest recommendations: when to save a tree, and when removal is the better option
  • Seamless coordination with our pruning and removal teams when needed

We don't just "install cables"—we build a long-term plan for each tree's health and safety.

When Tree Surgery Makes Sense

We typically recommend cabling or bracing when:

  • A tree has a split trunk or codominant stems
  • Heavy limbs are overextended or imbalanced
  • A tree has suffered storm damage but still has viable structure
  • A high-value or mature tree is at risk of failure but still healthy
  • You want to preserve a tree that's meaningful or environmentally significant

Every tree is different. We'll help you evaluate your options and make an informed decision based on safety, cost, and long-term viability.

A Trusted Partner for Tree Preservation

We don't jump to removal. Our arborists are trained to assess not just what's wrong, but what can be saved. If a tree can be preserved through a combination of surgery and strategic pruning, we'll help you understand the trade-offs and next steps.

Tree surgery is often a cost-effective alternative to removal, especially for mature trees that offer shade, property value, and character to your landscape.
