What does a landscaping answering service do for my business?
It answers your business line whenever you can't, like when you are on a mower or loading the trailer. The AI receptionist greets callers in your company name, asks about the yard and the work, quotes from your price list and books a time. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the lead lands on your lead board.
Can it quote lawn mowing by yard size?
Yes, if your price list does. Give it your mowing prices by lot size and it asks the caller about the yard, then quotes the matching price. For patios, new beds or design work it books an on-site estimate. It never invents a number that is not on your list.
Will it sign callers up for weekly mowing?
It offers weekly or every-other-week mowing when those are on your service list, and asks which the caller prefers. It books the first visit, and the call summary shows the frequency they want. Setting up the rest of the season stays in your hands, so nothing repeats on your calendar that you did not plan.
What happens when a storm drops a limb on a customer's driveway?
"Fallen branch blocking driveway" is on the default urgent list, and you can add your own words. The agent takes the name, address and what is blocked, offers your soonest opening or takes a detailed message, and sends you a Telegram alert as soon as the call ends. It never sends a crew out by itself.
How much does a lawn care answering service cost?
Starter is $149 a month for 300 minutes of AI calls, a business number, website chat, Thumbtack and Google LSA leads, and the full CRM. Pro is $299 a month for 1,000 minutes, three numbers and ten team members. Business is $549 a month for 2,500 minutes when call volume is high. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial that includes 25 minutes, no credit card.
Can a customer still reach me or my office?
Yes. If a caller asks for a person while your team is on duty, the agent transfers the call. Outside those hours it takes a message with the details, and you see it on your lead board and in Telegram. It can also answer in Spanish or any of the 15 languages you turn on.
