Mr. Altergott was working on a property across the street. We had one troublesome 25-30 foot…read morePonderosa Pine tree that had to come out. It was nearly on top of our house and right next to trees we wanted to keep and to our neighbors house. We asked him if he could take it out when he was done with the other property. He cheerfully agreed and gave us the best quote compared to the other three we had received. They took the tree down with surgical precision, quick and neat. Nothing but the tree was disturbed. These guys are rock stars in the tree business!

From the owner: Managing the Land, One Tree at a Time…read more 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...

Everything was handled over the phone. And I am very pleased to say I was extremely happy with the results. The job was not an easy one. Have you seen the tall spruce trees up at Terry Peak? Well, they had to take two of them out.. Very old, tall, mature trees. A few other small ones as well, but the big ones were as tall as they get. I highly recommend Cruz Quality Tree Service. They are professionals, timely, hard working and meticulous. Pricing was fair. And they took all the mess away as well. They will always be my go to Tree guys!

When a historic windstorm tore through Custer State Park during the night of December 17th-18th,…read more2026, it left our over 100-year-old cabin surrounded by devastation. Sustained high winds, with gusts exceeding 90 mph, brought down 11 mature trees, most between 80 and 110 feet, around our property. The majority were windthrown -- uprooted entirely, leaving partially exposed root balls more than six feet across -- making the terrain around the cabin nearly impassable and the forest damage extensive. In the aftermath, we called Deep Roots Tree Service, and from the very first contact, Jared Price set the tone for an outstanding experience. He was timely for every appointment, prompt with phone calls, and kept every promise he made -- no exceptions. In a situation that was already stressful, that kind of reliability meant everything. What truly sets Jared apart, though, is the way he approaches his work. You can tell he genuinely loves working with trees and holds a deep respect for them -- even in the context of removal and cleanup. Watching him work, it's clear this isn't just a job; it's a craft he cares about. The crew cleared all 11 fallen trees and placed the debris in an area required by the Park. The result was impressive, especially given the scale and difficulty of the storm damage. If you need tree service in the Rapid City area, look no further. Deep Roots Tree Service earns our highest recommendation -- five stars, without hesitation.

Incredible service, they removed 4 trees for my parents. Efficient, professional & extremely…read moreaffordable. Fantastic, highly recommend Deep Roots Tree service!
