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

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

No, you don’t need a pruning seal for trees post-trim. Pruning seals (applied to the cut ends of branches) are widely sold but they aren’t designed for every tree and in many cases can cause more harm. Trees have their own healing processes after pruning, so the best thing you can do is supply them with plenty of water and add some dormant-style fertilizer.

Pruning seals are primarily recommended for very vulnerable species like elm trees in areas where dangerous tree diseases like Dutch elm disease are spreading. In these cases, a sealant’s protection outweighs its downsides.

If a disease has attacked and destroyed the roots, then the tree may fall over as soon as it has died or while part of it is still alive. Trees that die with their roots left in place tend to stay standing for much longer, but those roots will decay eventually, allowing gravity to do the rest.

In the short term, you’ll have a lot of fallen trees to deal with. Tree removal services costs typically start at $200 per tree and increase based on species and size. Then, you’ll have to deal with the loss of trees: That means a loss of shade and a greater risk of rain runoff and erosion. Also, you’ll miss out on the health and aesthetic benefits of having trees on your property, which could even affect the resale value of your home.

That being said, cutting down a tree it’s not always a bad idea. Trees growing too close to rooftops can present fire hazards or debris problems. You may need to remove diseased or dying trees to prevent future issues.

Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter—between February and March. That’s because it’s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.
