For landscaping companies
An AI receptionist and website for landscaping companies.
Spring calls pile up while your crews are out mowing. Alex answers every one, takes the property details, books the estimate and texts you the lead.
Why missed calls cost landscaping companies so much
Landscaping has a short window to win the year. Most homeowners decide on lawn care, cleanups and projects in a few weeks of early spring, and they hire whoever gets back to them first.
Owners in this trade are usually on a mower or running a crew, not sitting by the phone. Voicemails stack up, callbacks happen at night, and by then a lot of those homeowners have already booked someone else.
Alex (AI)Thanks for calling Greenway Lawn and Landscape, this is Alex. How can I help?
CallerI need someone for weekly mowing starting next month.
Alex (AI)Great. What is the address, and roughly how big is the yard, a quarter acre, half an acre?
CallerAbout a third of an acre. 72 Willow Way.
Alex (AI)Thanks. I will get you on the list for an estimate this week. Is morning or afternoon better?
Example call. You get the address and lot size to quote from the truck.
The calls landscaping companies get, and how Alex handles them
Recurring lawn care
Captured with the property size, service frequency and start date, so you can quote and slot them into routes.
Spring and fall cleanups
Booked or added to your cleanup list with the address and scope.
Landscape projects
Patios, planting beds and hardscape captured as estimate requests with the budget range the homeowner mentions and their timeline.
Existing customers
Schedule changes and skip requests taken and texted to you, so they do not interrupt the day.
What Alex asks every caller
We set Alex up with the questions your best office manager would ask, so every lead arrives with what you need to call back, quote or dispatch. You can add or change questions at any time.
- Name and best callback number
- Property address
- Service wanted (mowing, cleanup, mulch, design, hardscape)
- Approximate yard size or lot size
- One-time or recurring
- When they want to start
- Whether they are a current customer
- Best time for an estimate
Urgent calls
Landscaping rarely has true emergencies, but storm cleanup and fallen trees do. Alex can flag those and text you straight away, or tell callers what you can and cannot handle.
What a landscaping website needs to rank
Landscaping searches are local and visual: "lawn care Ashburn", "landscaping companies near me", "patio installation". Sites that rank have a page per service, a page per town, and a gallery of real projects. Before and after photos do more for a landscaping site than any amount of copy.
Pages a landscaping site should have
- Lawn care and mowing
- Spring and fall cleanup
- Mulch and planting
- Landscape design
- Hardscaping and patios
- Snow removal, if you offer it
- One page per town you serve
Alex is most valuable in March and April, when the calls come faster than any small team can return them, and again in the fall cleanup rush.
Questions from landscaping companies
Can the AI receptionist quote prices for mowing?
Only if you want it to. Most landscaping companies prefer to quote after seeing the property, so Alex collects the address and yard size and you send the price.
Can it handle existing customers who want to skip a week?
Yes. Alex takes schedule changes from existing customers and texts them to you, so you can update your routes without taking the call.
Does it work for seasonal businesses?
Yes. You can change what Alex offers by season, for example switching from lawn care to leaf removal or snow plowing, without changing your number.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your number stays the same. You forward missed calls, after-hours calls or every call to Alex, and you can change that whenever you want.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for landscaping companies?
It depends on how many calls you get and how it needs to be set up. It costs a fraction of a full-time receptionist. Call the demo line first, then we will give you a straight number.
