- Caller: Yes, that would be great.

Where landscapers lose calls today
March and April calls bury you
The first warm weekend, everyone wants a spring cleanup, mulch and a quote on the patio they talked about all winter. You are on a mower or running a skid steer, and the voicemail box fills up faster than you can empty it.
Design jobs and mow-and-go calls mix together
A caller who wants a $200 cleanup and one who wants a full backyard with a paver patio and lighting both sound the same on a voicemail. Without anyone sorting them, your best design leads wait behind small jobs.
Crew leaders are not receptionists
Handing the business phone to a foreman means calls get answered with a leaf blower running, or not at all. Customers expect a clear, professional answer, and your crew needs to stay focused on the property in front of them.

How does an AI receptionist help landscapers book more work?
Landscaping demand hits all at once. When the weather turns, homeowners call several companies and book whoever answers and gets out to see the property. The receptionist answers every call at the same time, 24/7, asks about the property and the work needed, and books site visits into your calendar. You get a summary for each lead, so design jobs, maintenance contracts and cleanups are sorted before you finish your day.
Can it tell the difference between a design project and a maintenance call?
Yes. You describe your services and how you want each handled. A patio, retaining wall or full planting plan can be booked as a design consultation with your designer, while weekly maintenance requests can be captured with lot size and address for a quick quote. The summary you receive labels the job type so you can prioritize the high-value work. Your designer can call the patio lead back the same evening, while the cleanup requests get quoted in a batch the next morning. Nothing sits in a voicemail box waiting for you to sort it out.
What about existing customers who call to skip or change service?
Current customers call to skip a week before a party, add a bed edging, or ask why the crew missed Tuesday because of rain. The receptionist captures the request with their address and sends it to you or your office manager. You can set it to reassure callers about weather delays using the notes you provide, so your crews are not interrupted. Every change lands in your inbox or phone in writing, with the address, so the right crew gets the update before they roll out the next morning.
Does it help during fall cleanup and the off season?
Yes. Fall brings leaf cleanups and gutter add-ons, and winter is when many homeowners plan spring hardscape projects. The receptionist keeps answering through all of it. If you plow snow in winter, you can switch its knowledge and call flow to cover snow accounts, so one phone line works for your business all twelve months. Customers who call in December about a spring patio get booked for a winter design visit, which puts you ahead of competitors who only start answering in March.

Questions from landscapers
Can the receptionist quote weekly mowing prices?
If you give it your pricing rules, such as a starting price by lot size, it can share them. Many landscapers prefer it to collect the address and lot details and send them over for a quick quote. Either way, you write the guidance and it follows it on every call.
Does it integrate with Jobber?
Yes. It sends leads into Jobber and Housecall Pro and can book site visits there on the Growth and Pro plans. It also books into Google Calendar and Microsoft 365, and can send callers to your ServiceTitan Bookings queue, so you keep scheduling crews the way you already do.
Can it speak Spanish?
Yes. On Studio voices it answers in 89 languages, including Spanish, and the Value plan answers in English and Spanish. You still receive the summary in English, which helps when your office and your customers do not always share a first language. Many landscaping crews and homeowners in New Jersey speak Spanish, so this makes your business easier to reach.
What if I only want it to answer when I miss a call?
You can forward your existing number only on no answer or when busy. You keep picking up when you can, and the receptionist catches everything you miss, including calls that come in while you are on a mower or loading a trailer.
