For landscaping and lawn care companies
Answering Service for Landscapers and Lawn Care Companies
You are behind a mower or an irrigation trench all day — exactly when homeowners call. A quote request that hits voicemail can become someone else's contract.
Mowers and blowers mean you physically cannot hear the phone.
Spring quote season floods the line while crews are fullest.
A missed estimate call can be a whole season of mowing gone.
What a call sounds like
Illustrative call example — not a real recording
'I need a quote for weekly mowing and some bed cleanup.' Amelia checks the address against your service area, asks lot size and what they want done, and books your estimate visit — or a phone quote callback if that is how you work.
Calendar booking today, your tools next
Booking works with Google Calendar and Outlook today, with click-to-accept invites for you and the customer. On the roadmap for landscaping and lawn care companies, in the order customers ask:
Tell us what you run and we prioritize it.
One call, start to finish
Illustrative call example — not a real recording or measured timing
- 1
10 AM in April. You are on a mower with earmuffs on; a new homeowner three streets over is calling for weekly service.
- 2
Amelia answers on the first ring: 'Thanks for calling, this is Amelia. How can I help you?'
- 3
She asks your intake: address, roughly how big the lot is, what they want — mowing, beds, trimming, irrigation, cleanup — and how often.
- 4
In your service area: she books an estimate visit into the windows you set, or schedules your phone-quote callback if that is your process.
- 5
Irrigation breaks and downed limbs follow the urgency rules you wrote; everything else queues normally.
- 6
Name, caller-ID phone confirmed, email spelled back once, and calendar invites to both sides.
- 7
You shut the mower off at lunch to a day of booked estimates and a dashboard of recordings, not a missed-call list.
The whole business calls while you can't hear the phone
Landscaping has a cruel loop: the hours you are billable are the hours the phone rings, and the machine that makes you money makes you deaf to it. Voicemail does not fix that, because a homeowner collecting mowing quotes has little reason to wait for a callback when another company answered on the first try. Amelia breaks the loop. Every call gets answered, run through your intake questions, and turned into a booked estimate — while you stay on the mower where the money is.
Recurring contracts are the prize, and speed wins them
A weekly mowing account is not one job — it is a season of revenue, sometimes years, and answering first is a real edge in winning it. You give Amelia your words for recurring service: what a weekly visit includes, how you price by lot size if you say anything by phone, and your estimate process. She books the estimate visit or the callback and captures the property details as lead information — booking an estimate is not a confirmed contract price, and she never invents one. Commercial and HOA inquiries follow the routing you set.
Seasonal scripts without reprogramming your phone
Spring cleanups, summer mowing, fall leaves, storm cleanup after a bad night of wind — the calls change with the calendar, and your instructions can too. Tell us what to emphasize this month and Amelia adjusts: push cleanup slots in March, waitlist language in June when routes are full, and your storm-response rules when limbs come down. Irrigation emergencies — a stuck zone flooding a yard — follow the escalation you define. Existing customers get handled too: weather-delay questions, gate codes and access notes, and requested schedule changes are captured as messages or rebookings by your process.
What it costs, next to one mowing season
Plans start at $99 a month at the founding price with 250 minutes of conversation included, then $2 a minute, capped at $200 unless you raise it. Spam calls and quick hangups never count. Whether that pays for itself depends on your call volume, how many callers are qualified leads, your close rate, and your job values — the calculator on our homepage runs your own numbers. The 14-day free trial includes 30 minutes of talk time, so you can judge her on real calls before paying anything.
Common questions from landscaping and lawn care companies
What happens when someone calls my landscaping company while I'm mowing?
Amelia answers, asks the property and service questions you set, checks your service area, and books an estimate visit or a quote callback with the details written down.
Can she handle both lawn care and full landscaping calls?
Yes. Weekly mowing, cleanups, beds, trimming, irrigation, and design inquiries each follow the intake and routing you define.
Will she quote prices for mowing?
Only the language you approve — a starting-at number, a range by lot size, or 'we quote at the property.' She never invents pricing.
Can she change scripts with the seasons?
Yes. Tell us what this month looks like — cleanup slots, full routes, storm response — and her emphasis updates without touching your phone setup.
How much does a landscaper answering service cost?
Plans start at $99 a month at the founding price with 250 minutes included, then $2 a minute, capped at $200 unless you raise it. Spam calls are free.
Does she answer in Spanish?
Automatically, and it matters in this industry on both sides of the phone. The whole call runs in English or Spanish.
Does she book estimates on my calendar?
Yes — Google or Outlook with click-to-accept invites for both sides. Jobber, Aspire, and LMN are on the roadmap in the order customers ask.
What about commercial and HOA calls?
They follow their own routing — straight to you, to a callback list, or booked like any estimate. You decide during setup.
