Trees failed from 120kms winds that lashed the state of Victoria in October 2016. Thousands of Victorian householder lost power, houses damaged, roads closed and fallen trees everywhere which caused chaos across the state. ACE Tree Crews worked around the clock to clear and open roads, removed uprooted trees, restore powerlines and remove dangerous failed trees. Victoria's history shows that storm weather is more common during October through to May. Storm damage costs Victoria over $28 million annually and scientists are saying severe storms will become more of a regular event for Australia.

Bushfire season in Victoria, Australia can have a significant impact on both trees and homes. The bushfire season typically occurs during the summer months when hot and dry conditions create an elevated risk of wildfires. ACE provides regular tree maintenance, including trimming branches and removing dead or dry vegetation, which can therefore make trees less susceptible to fire. Bushfires can cause extensive damage to trees, the intense heat and flames can scorch or completely destroy the vegetation in their path, even trees that survive the immediate impact of the fire can be stressed and left vulnerable to pests and diseases. Their long-term health may be compromised, this can lead to the death of many trees that may fail or need removal in affected areas across Victoria.
