A tall tree above a river cliff made for an unusual Chris Lane Enterprises job. In a December 2024 Google review, a customer said part of a hanging mobile needed to be secured high in the tree. After two other companies failed to schedule the work over 18 months, Chris returned calls as promised, visited and quoted a price the customer considered fair. The reviewer credited employee Ryan with securing the piece and praised both men's conduct. The Gilsum business advertises tree work, crane service, storm cleanup, land clearing and stump grinding. It reports 18 years in business, offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service, and says it is insured. Its stated service towns include Keene, Walpole, Alstead, Jaffrey, Hinsdale and other nearby communities. Google lists 4.1 stars from 13 ratings. In February 2024, another customer described the crew removing two large maples, finishing and cleaning up by the end of the day. They praised Chris for explaining what to expect and the crew for working together. A September 2026 reviewer recommended him as honest and knowledgeable. There is also a January 2022 complaint: a Google reviewer said promised work was not done and broken branches were left hanging in the tree, and advised against hiring the company.
Chris Lane is honest and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
I had an unusual project involving a tall tree leaning over a high cliff along a river-- part of a mobile hanging from a limb high in the tree had come off and I wanted it placed back in position, which would require the use of a bucket truck. Over the course of 18 months, I talked with two different tree companies who promised to do it but then never scheduled and never returned my calls. Then someone on the Next Door app recommended Chris Lane Enterprises. Despite being extremely busy, Chris always called me back when he said he would, came to look at the situation, quoted me a very fair price, and we made a plan to get it done. He and his employee Ryan who actually placed the piece securely were friendly, professional and altogether a delight to work with. Such reliability, trustworthiness and skill are rare to find these days.
Chris and company just took down two huge maple trees for us. He was prompt, knowledgeable, patient and gave me very detailed information on what to expect. The guys obviously knew what they were doing and worked well together. By the end of the day they were done and everything was cleaned up. I can't compare prices as no other tree service I called even bothered to call me back! I would recommend Chris and his crew very highly!
Knowledgeable and helpful, very fair pricing.
Didn't do what he said he would do,left broken branches hanging in tree. Would not recommend
