Business owners/managers: Terri, Victor and Dalton Dillon Dillon Tree Service (DTS) was founded in 1997 by Victor and Terri Dillon, lifelong residents of the Triad. In 2016, the couple’s son, Dalton, joined the company after graduating from Campbell University. Terri now serves as the company’s president, with Victor and Dalton as co-owners. DTS provides commercial and residential tree trimming and removal services in the greater Triad area, and specializes in large and hazardous tree removal. The company is one of only a few woman-owned tree services in the state. It was the first professional tree service in North Carolina to use the patentpending remote-controlled Palfinger TreeMek for safe and efficient tree removal. “We prune and remove hazardous and unwanted trees using both traditional methods, such as roping and rigging, as well as highly innovative methods using state-of-the-art remotecontrolled cranes, grapple saws, log trucks and turf-friendly loaders to minimize property damage,” Terri said. “By employing the latest technology available in the tree industry, we provide a much cleaner, safer, and more efficient method of tree and debris removal. Our company employs two certified arborists and two certified crane operators, and is fully licensed and insured. “We believe in treating our clients and our employees with respect and fairness, which has resulted in signifi6 MARCH 31 - APRIL 6, 2022 The Northwest Observer • Totally local since 1996 cant repeat business as well as tenured crew members who enjoy their work

and share our long-standing commitment to client satisfaction,” Terri continued. “We are small enough to give our customers the attention they deserve, yet large enough to provide the equipment and expertise to do the job right the first time – and our work is guaranteed through our pledge to our customers.” On a personal note: Victor and Terri have four children: Abby, 40, Leslie, 37, Summer, 29, and Dalton, 27. The couple also has five grandchildren ranging in age from 1 month to 14 years old.

Terri grew up in Winston-Salem; Victor and all four of the couple’s children grew up in Colfax and attended Northwest Guilford Middle and Northwest High School, where Victor and Dalton played baseball and football. In their spare time: “Being owners of a family business is more than a full-time job, but we believe in working hard and playing hard,” Terri said. “Our family enjoys camping, kayaking, riding SxS vehicles, motorcycles and dirt bikes, and just about any outdoor sports.” Community service/involvement: Victor and Terri helped start Viking Vision at Northwest High School (NWHS). Terri recently served as president of the Rotary Club of Winston-Salem and is a member of Northwest Guilford Woman’s Club. The Dillons actively support several organizations in the Triad, including Riverwood Therapeutic Riding Center, NWHS Athletics, and Oak Ridge Horse Show Association.
