Can it handle the spring rush?

Yes. Every call and message gets answered at once, even the week everyone wakes up and wants a cleanup. Walk-throughs book into the windows you set, and nothing sits in voicemail.

Can it quote a mowing contract over the phone?

It collects what you need to price it: address, lot size, gates, frequency. If you price standard lots from a rate sheet, it can give the number you set; anything unusual books a walk-through instead of guessing.

Does it do the seasonal renewals?

Yes. Before the season opens, Dorian drafts personal notes to last year's customers in your voice, a few a day from your own inbox. You approve the message once; replies come straight back to you.

We run our routes in Jobber. Does that change?

No. Routes, crews, and invoicing stay in Jobber, LMN, Aspire, or whatever you run. Whitmore answers, books, and follows up in front of it, and hands you the summary.

What about snow season?

Teach it once and it switches with you: plowing inquiries triaged by urgency, route customers confirmed before the storm, and the 5 AM 'are you coming?' calls answered without waking you.

Plans start at $49 a month for the whole team. 7-day free trial, no card required, so you can watch it work a week of the rush before you pay.

The short answer · “answering service for landscapers”

What does an AI receptionist for a landscaping company do?

An AI receptionist for a landscaping company answers your phone during the eight weeks that decide your year. In the spring rush you're on a mower ten hours a day, and every missed call is a cleanup, a mulch job, or a season-long mowing contract signing with someone else. Iris picks up on the first ring, takes the address and the scope, and books the walk-through onto your calendar.

The rest of the room works the season around her. Dorian reaches last year's customers before the season opens, personal notes in your voice about spring cleanups and mowing renewals, a few a day from your own inbox, and follows every open quote until it's a yes or a no. Eleanor keeps the calendar clean when rain shuffles a week, and Whitmore sends one recap at the end of the day.

To the owner on the mower,

From the room, briefly. In March, Dorian writes to last year's customers before they think to shop around. In April, Iris answers the rush while your crews cut. In May, the quotes that went quiet get asked again.

You built the customer list. We just make sure it keeps paying you every season.

The honest comparison

How does it compare to an answering service?

An answering service takes messages in April. Your season needed the walk-through booked and last year's list asked back.
