AI receptionist · Landscaping

An AI receptionist for lawn care that answers while the mowers are running.

You cannot hear the phone over a zero-turn. Forward your line while your crews are out, and your agent takes down the property, the work the caller wants and when, then sends you each request with a recording, so you call back with the details in hand. From $297 a month.

You will talk with an AI assistant. We record and transcribe the conversation.

A written example of a call, to show how one goes. It is not a recording, and Persimmon Bend Landscape is a made-up business.
When the calls come

A spring day of calls on a lawn care line.

Homeowners notice the yard when they get home: the grass, the leaves, the beds that need mulch. That is when they call, in the evening and on weekends. Spring brings calls about mowing and planting, and fall brings cleanups. Most callers want a quote and a visit, not a long conversation at 9 PM.

Example calls, by the hour they come in Calhoun, GA

An example day with the shop open from 7 AM to 6 PM. 5 example calls are marked by the hour they come in; they are listed below.

  1. 6:40 AM Homeowner

    “Can I get on your mowing route this season?”

    Takes the property and yard size and requests an estimate.

  2. 12:15 PM Homeowner

    “Do you put down mulch in existing beds?”

    Answers from your service list and takes a visit request.

  3. 6:30 PM Homeowner

    “We just laid new sod. When should we water it?”

    Repeats your watering guidance, if you gave it one.

  4. 8:00 PM Homeowner

    “We want shrubs along the front walk.”

    Takes a planting consultation request, with no plant advice.

  5. 9:45 PM Customer

    “Can you skip our mow this week?”

    Takes the change request. It does not change your route.

Examples of the calls this trade gets, not real calls. Hours shown are an example. Lime is when Forge answers; calls in open hours reach it when you forward your line while you are busy.

Questions

Questions landscaping and lawn care companies ask first.

Will it put a new customer on my mowing route?

No. It takes the address, the yard size and how often they want service, and your team decides whether the stop fits the route. It never adds a stop or confirms a mowing day.

Can it explain what a cleanup includes?

Yes, from the service list you give us. If your fall cleanup includes leaf removal but not hauling brush, it says so. It will not assume anything your list does not say.

Many of my customers speak Spanish. Can it talk with them?

Yes. The agent switches to your caller's language on its own, English and Spanish or any of 31 languages. We set up the languages your customers speak when we build your agent.
