At Tennessee Tree & Landscaping Co, we offer many services to our customers. We use the finest equipment proven in the field of total tree care and landscape practices. Here we point out a comparison of the system of bracing we employ. It's called The Cobra System and offers strength along with flexibility for those days of higher than normal winds. In our illustration at left you have three limbs braced in the top illustration with rigid steel wire. Although steel is strong, it has no flexibility. The Cobra incorporates strength with limited flexibility allowing the branches to give against the wind. The branches are braced but are allowed some sway. Risk of damage to the tree or surrounding property is minimized.

In the next illustrations, you see a quad or four limb bracing. In the top illustration, done again using steel wire-very rigid and fixed. Below is the Cobra System employed and as you can see, each branch is allowed some flexibility and the two larger limbs are cross braced. Due to their comaprative size, they need the additional bracing.
