Do it properly
There is a right way to remove a tree, prune a branch and grind a stump. We do it that way every time, even when nobody is watching. Proper technique, proper equipment, proper clean-up. No shortcuts.
How we got here
Our Story
Dixons Trees started in 2009 with Phil Dixon, a chainsaw and a ute. The work was straightforward from the start: remove trees safely, clean up properly and charge a fair price. That approach has not changed in 17 years. The ute has been replaced by a fleet of chippers, excavators, cranes and elevated work platforms, but the principle is the same.
We are based in the Blue Mountains and that is where the majority of our work happens. Springwood, Winmalee, Blaxland, Wentworth Falls, Katoomba, Glenbrook, right through to Blackheath and Mt Victoria. We also work across Penrith, the Hawkesbury and Western Sydney, and our tree transplanting division operates across the greater Sydney region, the Central Coast and the South Coast.
The business has grown because the work speaks for itself. We do not chase awards or write press releases. We remove dangerous trees, maintain properties and solve problems for homeowners, developers, councils and commercial clients. Then we come back when they call again. 10,000+ jobs and 300+ five-star Google reviews later, that approach is still working.
What drives the work
What we stand for
We are not a company that puts mission statements on the wall and forgets about them. These are the things that actually guide how we operate, how we treat customers and how we train our crew.
Be straight with people
If your tree needs removing, we will tell you. If it just needs pruning, we will tell you that instead. If we cannot do the job, we will say so. You get honest advice, clear quotes and no surprises on your invoice.
Show up and deliver
We schedule the work. We turn up on the day. We complete the job. It sounds basic, but reliability is the thing our customers value most. When we say we will be there, we will be there.
Look after the site
Your property matters to us. We protect driveways, fences and gardens during work. We chip and remove all waste. We leave the site cleaner than most people expect. That is the standard, not a bonus.
Keep everyone safe
Every job is planned with safety first. Our crew wears proper PPE, follows industry procedures and operates equipment to Australian Standards. We carry $50 million public liability insurance because we take this seriously.
Respect the environment
We work with trees every day and we understand their value. We recycle tree waste into quality mulch, minimise site disturbance and advocate for tree preservation where removal is not the only option. Our transplanting division exists specifically to save trees that would otherwise be lost.
How we work
Our approach to tree work
Every job follows the same process whether it is a single stump in a backyard or a multi-stage development clearing. We assess, we plan, we execute and we clean up. Here is what that looks like.
1. Assess the situation properly
We visit the site before quoting. Our arborists inspect the trees, check access, identify hazards and understand what you are trying to achieve. You get a clear explanation of what needs doing and why.
2. Quote the full scope
Your quote covers everything: the work, the waste removal, the stump grinding, the clean-up. We itemise it so you can see exactly what is included. No vague estimates and no charges that appear after the job is done.
3. Plan the work safely
Every job gets a work plan. Which trees come down first. Where the landing zones are. How we protect your property. What equipment we need on site. The plan is set before the crew arrives.
4. Execute to standard
Our arborists work to Australian Standards using proper rigging, proper cuts and proper PPE. We dismantle trees in controlled sections, lower timber on ropes and protect the ground underneath. Nothing is left to chance.
5. Leave the site clean
All branches, offcuts and debris are chipped on site or removed. Stumps are ground below ground level. The site is raked, blown and left tidy. We take pride in how a property looks when we drive away.
Part of the community, not just working in it
Community involvement
Tree work is local work. We live here, our kids go to school here and our crew are part of the same community we serve. That matters to how we operate.
Council and government partnerships
We work with local councils to preserve significant trees threatened by development, relocating them to new public spaces rather than losing them to construction. When a tree can be saved, we help make that happen.
Wildlife and habitat support
The Blue Mountains is home to protected species and sensitive ecosystems. We protect nesting sites during work, create habitat stag trees by pruning dead trees to provide nesting for native birds and mammals, and manage vegetation in ways that support local wildlife rather than displacing it.
Heritage and local preservation
We assist heritage areas like Mount Wilson with tree management, balancing property protection with environmental care. The Blue Mountains has a unique landscape and we take our role in maintaining it seriously.
Walk it Off Australia
We sponsor the Walk it Off Australia foundation, a registered charity focused on mental health and wellbeing. Supporting the people in our community matters as much as looking after the trees.
Local relationships
We have been working in the Blue Mountains since 2009. Many of our customers are repeat clients who call us year after year. We build relationships through reliable work, not through marketing campaigns.
The crew behind the work
What it is like to work at Dixons
Our crew is the business. The arborists in the trees, the operators on the ground, the office team coordinating schedules and the managers keeping everything running. Every person on the team contributes to the standard our customers expect.
We invest in training and professional development because better-trained arborists do better work. We maintain our equipment properly because good tools in good condition keep the crew safe. We treat people with respect because that is how you build a team that stays.
If you are an arborist, climber, ground worker or machine operator looking for consistent work with a professional crew, we are always interested in good people.
Qualified, insured, accredited
Expertise and credentials
We do not lead with certificates, but when you need to verify that your contractor is properly qualified and insured, here is what we bring.
Qualified arborists
Our crew holds AQF Level 3 qualifications in arboriculture. Every tree is assessed, pruned and removed by trained professionals who understand tree biology, structural integrity and safe
work practices.
$50 million public liability insurance
Full coverage on every job. No exceptions, no exclusions. We provide certificates of currency for any customer, strata manager, developer or council that requires them.
ISO accredited
We hold ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) accreditation. These are independently audited standards that cover how we operate, how we manage environmental impact and how we keep our team and your property safe.
Specialised equipment fleet
Whole-tree chippers, stump grinders, trucks and tippers, small and large excavators, elevated work platforms, skid steers, cranes and specialised tree relocation machinery. We own our equipment, which means we are not waiting on hire availability to start your job.
