Tree Cables Protect Historic Barn

Thursday, July 5, 2012

As a violent storm raged outside her home in Horsham, Judy Lightstone worried about her much loved barn. Would the Red Maple towering over the barn’s roof stand up to the storm?

Judy didn't have to worry. Two weeks before the storm hit, she asked Giroud to inspect the trees and take action. “To protect the barn, we installed three through bolt cable systems in the Red Maple.” says Robert Poley, Giroud Arborist. “Additionally, we thinned the canopy to improve air flow.”

When the storm cleared, Judy warily looked out to see the damage. While a Douglas Fir on another part of her property had fallen, Judy was thrilled to see that the Red Maple and her barn came through beautifully.
