🌳 40+ years. Two generations. One family business. 🌳

Dickies Trees started more than 40 years ago, when Gary and Judy Dickie built the business from the ground up.

From the early days with Gary and a single truck (pictured!) to the team and fleet you see today, it's been quite a journey.

Today, their son Cameron runs Dickies Trees, and the family name is still on every truck and every job.

A lot has changed over four decades:

The team has grown.
The equipment has grown.
The scale of work has grown.

Today, Dickies works across Perth for homeowners, businesses, strata managers, schools, councils and commercial properties, with experienced crews and a fleet that includes elevated work platforms, chippers, loaders, trucks, stump grinding equipment and specialist machinery.

But what hasn’t changed is the way we approach the work.

✅ Turn up on time & prepared
✅ Respect the property
✅ Leave the site tidy
✅ Look after the customer

That’s what has kept us working across Perth for more than 40 years, and helped us earn more than 500 five-star reviews.

We're proud of how far the business has come and grateful to the customers and team members who've been part of the journey.

I have seen a lot of fallen branches around with the warmer weather. Did you know there is something called ‘Sudden Branch Drop Syndrome’?

It often commonly effects quite healthy trees and occurs in calm warm conditions, with branches that are more horizontal than vertical.

The reason is still not completely clear but is considered to be due to a range of factors including water stress, age of trees and species variation.

To reduce the risk make sure you regularly pruning your trees and applying good tree care practices (watering, trimming and fertilising).

Why two tree quotes can be hundreds apart 🌳💰

Got a couple of quotes for tree work and wondered why they’re so different?

You’re not imagining it. There are a few things that can make a big difference to the cost of tree pruning, removals, stump grinding and maintenance work.

🌲 Size, height and condition
A small ornamental tree, a large gum, a storm-damaged tree and a tree needing careful pruning all require very different levels of time, skill and equipment.

🚛 Access
Can a truck, chipper or elevated work platform get close, or does everything need to be carried by hand through a narrow side gate?

🏠 What’s nearby
Trees close to a house, shed, fence, pool, car park or powerlines often require extra planning and care to complete the work safely.

🪓 Type of work required
Light pruning, heavy reduction pruning, deadwood removal, full tree removal, stump grinding and green waste removal are all different jobs with different equipment and labour involved.

🧹 Green waste and clean-up
A cheaper quote may not include full removal of branches, timber and mulch, so it’s always worth checking what’s included.

A quote that looks too good to be true often has something missing.

At Dickies Trees, we’ll always put the scope in writing before we start, so you know what’s included and there are no surprises.

🌳 Big trees. Busy car park. Careful planning.

Our team recently completed a three day commercial tree pruning project at Carine Shopping Centre for long-term client CBRE.

With large gum trees over car bays, nearby structures, powerlines and a busy shopping centre environment to manage, this job required a coordinated approach from start to finish.

The Dickies Trees team carried out tree assessments, weight reduction pruning and deadwood removal to help improve public safety while retaining the health and structure of the trees.

🚛 Multiple crews
🦺 Safety exclusion zones
🌲 Qualified arborists
🚧 Sections of car park safely closed off
🛻 3 x EWPs, 4 x Trucks and Wood Chippers on site

Commercial tree maintenance is about more than pruning. It’s about planning, safety, communication and minimising disruption for the people using the site.

Great work by the team 👏

A recent emergency job at Matilda Bay saw our team respond quickly to large broken branches hanging in a Flame Tree overlooking the river 🌳🚨

With a safety risk to restaurant patrons and pedestrians, the job required an urgent and careful approach. Great work by the team getting it sorted safely and efficiently 👏
