An AI receptionist for landscapers.

Landscaping calls come in while you are on a mower, loading a trailer or standing next to a running blower. They are two different kinds of call. One is recurring work: weekly mowing, seasonal cleanups, fertilizing and weed control, a property manager with a few buildings. The other is project work: a new patio, sod, plantings, drainage or an irrigation system. Both are worth answering, and both callers usually try the next landscaper if yours goes to voicemail.

An AI receptionist answers in your company's name when nobody in the truck can. It asks your questions: the address, the size of the yard, what they need and how often, and whether it is upkeep or a project. Then it books an estimate visit from your calendar, texts a confirmation and sends you a summary with the transcript. It does not price a property it has not seen. Irrigation water that will not shut off, or a commercial client with a problem on site today, goes to you the way you decide.

A mowing call looks small, but it is rarely one visit. A homeowner who signs up for weekly service in spring is a stop on your route for the whole season, and often the one who calls you later for cleanup, mulch and the patio. Miss that first call and you lose the season, not one mow.

Project calls are bigger and bunch up with the weather. When it warms up, everyone wants beds, sod and patios done at the same time, and homeowners call a few landscapers and book whoever comes out first to look. If your phone is in the truck and rings out, the estimate visit goes to someone else, and you never hear about it.

Most of these calls come in during working hours, when you and your crews are outside with engines running and gloves on. Voicemail does not help much, because people looking for a landscaper tend to call the next listing rather than wait for a call back at the end of the day.

The calls it handles.

For most landscapers, urgent means irrigation water that will not shut off, storm debris blocking a driveway or entrance, or a commercial client with a problem on site today. The agent transfers those calls, sends you an urgent alert or gives your on-call number, depending on what you chose, and books everything else.

  • Weekly mowing for the season

    A homeowner wants regular mowing and edging. The agent asks the address, front and back or front only, and how often, then books a walk-through so you can price the lawn.

  • Spring or fall cleanup

    Leaves, overgrown beds, pruning and fresh mulch. The agent notes what they want done and by when, and books an estimate before your schedule fills.

  • Patio, retaining wall or planting project

    A bigger job with a design question behind it. The agent records the idea, the rough size and the timeline, and books a consultation without pricing the project.

  • Sprinkler line broken and water will not stop

    Water is running across the yard or into the street. The agent takes the address, asks whether they have found the irrigation shut-off, and transfers the call or sends you an urgent alert, as you decided.

  • Sprinkler zones not working, start-up or blowout

    Dead zones, a controller to reset, a spring turn-on or a fall winterization. The agent books a service visit, from a separate irrigation calendar if you keep one.

  • Storm cleanup with branches down

    Limbs across the lawn and beds after a storm. The agent asks how much debris there is and whether anything is blocking the driveway, then books the earliest cleanup slot or flags it for you.

  • Property manager asking for a maintenance bid

    An HOA or property manager wants grounds maintenance on several sites. The agent takes the properties, the scope and the bid deadline, and sends it to you as a priority lead.

  • Weekly client changing a visit

    A regular customer is away next week, or wants the hedges trimmed on the next visit. The agent takes the message and puts it in your summary for the crew lead.

On every call

  • Answers in your company's name and asks what they needWeekly upkeep, a one-time cleanup, a project or an irrigation problem, so the call goes down the right path.
  • Takes the property detailsAddress, front and back or front only, rough yard size, gates and dogs, and for projects the idea and the timeline.
  • Answers the questions you approvedYour service area, the services you offer, whether you are taking new weekly clients this season, and any starting prices you are happy to state.
  • Books an estimate or walk-throughFrom your real calendar, at a time the homeowner picks. Irrigation repairs can go to a separate calendar or tech if you split them.
  • Texts a confirmationDate, time, address and what to have ready: side gate open, dogs inside, the sprinkler controller easy to reach.
  • Sends you the summaryWho called, the property, recurring or project, the booking and the transcript, by text, email or Slack.

What missed calls cost.

The estimate uses cautious numbers for a small landscaping company. Change any of them to match yours.

Tools it connects to

It can connect to tools like Jobber, LMN, Service Autopilot, Aspire and Housecall Pro.

Connecting means an estimate booked on the phone shows up in your scheduling tool as a new request, with the property details and call summary attached, so the estimator walks the yard already knowing what the homeowner asked for.

Fifteen new-customer calls a week is an ordinary in-season week for a small landscaping company, and it leaves out the spring rush when the phone rings far more.

20% assumes someone checks the phone between properties, which is generous on a mowing day when crews are outside with engines running from morning to dusk.

25% counts only calls that become a paid job, not estimate visits, because many callers ask two or three companies and some only want a price.

$350 is a first job weighted toward a cleanup or the first month of mowing, and it leaves out the season of recurring visits and any install project that follows.

$1,140 a month

About 13 unanswered calls a month, of which about 3.3 would have become a job.

Questions, answered

Can it give prices for weekly mowing?

Only the prices you approve. If you have a starting price for a standard lot, or a minimum per visit, it can say that and explain that the final price comes after a walk-through. If you would rather price every property in person, it books the walk-through and gives no number at all.

How does it tell maintenance calls from install projects?

It asks. Your script sorts callers into weekly or recurring upkeep, one-time cleanups, design and install projects, and irrigation service. Each path asks its own questions and can book into a different calendar or person, so a patio consultation does not land in a slot meant for a mowing walk-through.

What if our weekly routes are full this season?

Tell it, and it says so. It can still take the caller's details so they appear in your summary as a waitlist lead, offer a one-time cleanup if you have room, or book a project consultation instead. When a route opens up, you change the answers page and it starts booking weekly clients again.

Can it handle calls from property managers and HOAs?

Yes. It asks for the properties, the scope, how often they need service and when bids are due, then sends it to you as a priority lead with the transcript. It does not bid the work. Commercial bids need your numbers, so it books a site walk or transfers the call to you, whichever you chose.

Does it answer during the day while my crews are out?

Yes, if you want it to. Forwarding rules decide when it answers: after hours, on weekends, or as overflow when nobody in the office or the truck picks up after a few rings. For a landscaping company, daytime overflow is often the most useful setting, because that is when you are outside and calls ring out.

Can it book irrigation service separately?

If you run irrigation repairs on their own calendar or with a different tech, the agent books those into that calendar. It asks what the system is doing, which zones are affected and whether water is running now. It does not troubleshoot the controller over the phone. It books the visit or follows your urgent rule.

Will callers know it is an AI?

If they ask, it says it is an AI assistant for your company. It does not pretend to be a person. Most homeowners calling a landscaper want a visit booked and a text confirming it, and that is what it does, in your company's name and with the questions you wrote.

What do you need from us to set it up?

Your phone number with call forwarding, which we set up, a calendar or scheduling tool with real estimate times, and a page of answers: services, the areas you cover, your hours, any starting prices, whether you are taking new weekly clients, and anything it must never promise, like a start date for a project.
