"I was very happy with the work that American Tree Company performed at our home. They were here on time, we reviewed the work we wanted done; the removal of a large dead tree and trimming a large ash tree. The tree dead tree was down and cut up in about 20 minutes and the trimming was done in a short time. The owner and her helper had the downed tree and trimmed tree loaded up on a large trailer and the yard cleaned up in about another 20 minutes. Both the owner and employee made sure that I was satisfied with their work. I would highly recommend American Tree Company for trimming or removal of trees and shrubs in homeowners yards."

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

Firewood tends to be cheaper during the spring and summer. When the demand for firewood is lower during these seasons, many firewood companies offer lower prices and added discounts. In addition, the supply of firewood is typically higher in these months, meaning the quality is typically higher as well.

If executed correctly your tree should survive after being transplanted to a new spot. However, effective transplanting requires six months, careful root pruning, safe transport to the new location, and replanting in prime soil conditions. You’ll also need an appropriately sized root ball for a complete tree transplant. A good rule of thumb is that, for every inch in diameter, your tree’s root ball needs to be around 11 inches. So a tree with a diameter of six inches needs a root ball of approximately 66 inches.

If you’re wondering why tree trunks are painted white in your area, it’s usually to prevent sunscald, a condition where extreme shifts in temperature can cause tree bark to split. Fruit trees are especially vulnerable to sunscald, so this treatment is worth considering if it’s something that affects your trees.

In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years.
