Thank you for considering Altergott Forestry, LLC. We provide land & forest services to the residents of Northern Black Hills and the surrounding area. Our goal is to meet your service needs with the highest quality service. Graduating from the accredited College of Natural Resources, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, I have pursued my passion for sustainable resources and the care thereof. My background of wildland fire suppression, logging operations, and forestry management has given me the experience from all sides. Every tract of land has sustainable, renewable and intrinsic value as it pertains to the wildlife, fisheries and products that can harbor from it. It would be my desire to help accomplish the need of you, the landowner, and also keep safe the many traits and characteristics the land has to offer this generation and many more to come. There is a saying from past men that worked off the land, "Never make more foot on the ground than is necessary, and the land will give you more than what you need." Personally, I aim for finding the "sweet spot" of land management. This is the spot where you, the landowner can benefit from the resources and inherent value that it possesses without compromising the lands value or resource quality. Ethical forestry stewardship starts with the knowledge of knowing how to utilize resources to accomplish a task. It continues when you teach those benefiting on how to use these "tools" each and every time. The land and everyone else can be sustained with a little practice and hard honest work that the generations to come will appreciate. I look forward to helping the Black Hills become a safer and even more appreciated place to live and thrive. Please call us today for more information and I will be happy to help. Adam

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

How often and long you should water a tree depends on the species and if it is mature or newly planted. The amount of water is also based on the tree's size. A good rule of thumb is approximately 5 gallons per inch of the trunk's diameter.

Adjusting watering to the recommended suggestions for the tree type and weather conditions is vital. For instance, watering trees during a drought is necessary, and you may need to water more frequently than usual.

A chainsaw is the best tool to cut down a tree, but you may also use a handsaw or ax. You may also want to use a lopper or pole saw to remove limbs before cutting down the tree. Wear chainsaw chaps and protective gear, including eyewear and earplugs if you use a chainsaw. Again, if you’re unsure about how to use this tool, this project may be one to skip.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

It's easy to misidentify trees that appear to be maple trees due to similarities in leaf shapes. Sweetgum, sycamore, and yellow poplar all have leaf shapes and appearances similar to maples. The fact that around a dozen maple tree varieties exist, only about half of which are considered common, makes misidentification an often typical occurrence.  

Most trees can be successfully transplanted while they are young, but pines, walnuts, and some oak tree varieties are more difficult to move because their root systems grow deeper than most other trees. Also, trees adapted to sandy soil with wide root systems like beeches, willows, and aspens are harder to dig out because their roots spread much farther out from the trunk. In these cases, unless the trees are very young and small, it’s a good idea to consult a tree planting professional.
