Your AI Receptionist. Built for UK Landscapers & Gardeners.
Handles your calls while you're laying a patio, operating a mini digger, or knee-deep in a planting scheme with soil under your fingernails.
Here to help See It In Action
Here's how Speed Receptionist handles a real enquiry from start to finish.
A homeowner in Winchester calls about a complete garden redesign — they want a new patio, raised beds, artificial grass for the children's play area, and low-maintenance planting. Your AI captures the garden dimensions, surface types, and design priorities.
A couple in Southampton message about a new driveway — block paving in a herringbone pattern with a matching path to the front door. The AI captures the area, current surface, and pattern preference.
A homeowner in Basingstoke calls — their retaining wall has collapsed after heavy rain, and soil is washing down the slope into the neighbour's garden. The AI captures the wall height, length, and damage extent, and escalates.
A letting agent in Andover messages about garden clearance at a rental property — completely overgrown, needs clearing, turfing, and basic planting before viewings start. The AI captures the garden size and the viewing deadline.

Tell Us About Your Landscaping Business
Your services — garden design, hard landscaping, turfing, planting, maintenance contracts, artificial grass installation — your coverage area, seasonal capacity, and how you want large garden transformation enquiries handled.
We Build Your Landscaper-Trained AI
We train the AI with landscaping terminology — block paving, sleeper walls, drainage falls, topsoil grades, planting schemes, irrigation systems — so it captures garden dimensions, design aspirations, and budget expectations.
You Focus on the Garden, Not the Phone
While you are operating a mini digger or laying a patio in the sun, every enquiry is handled. Large garden transformation consultations, maintenance contract sign-ups, and seasonal planting programmes captured with full property detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI understand landscaping and gardening services?
Yes. Hard landscaping — porcelain patios, Indian sandstone, block paving, resin-bound driveways, retaining walls, sleeper steps, raised beds, fencing, and pergolas. Soft landscaping — turfing, artificial grass installation, planting schemes, hedge planting, mature tree planting, and wildflower meadow seeding. Garden maintenance — lawn care programmes, hedge trimming, border maintenance, seasonal planting, and garden clearance. The AI distinguishes between these service types and asks the right questions for each, whether a customer is describing a full garden transformation or a simple lawn mow.
Can it handle garden design consultations?
Yes. When homeowners want a full garden redesign, the AI captures their vision in detail — contemporary or traditional style preference, must-have features like patios, water features, outdoor kitchens, or hot tub areas, budget range, lifestyle requirements including children, dogs, and entertaining, existing features to keep or remove, and any site constraints like slopes, drainage issues, or overlooking neighbours. This gives you a comprehensive brief before the design consultation, saving time and demonstrating your professional approach.
Does the AI handle driveway and paving work?
Yes. Block paving in herringbone, stretcher, or basketweave patterns, resin-bound and resin-bonded surfaces, Indian sandstone, porcelain paving, natural stone setts, tarmac, and gravel driveways are all captured with area dimensions, current surface condition, drainage considerations, dropped kerb requirements, and vehicle count. Driveway projects range from £2,000 to £15,000 and the AI captures the full specification for accurate quoting.
What about garden maintenance contracts?
Regular lawn cutting, hedge trimming, border maintenance, seasonal planting, leaf clearance, pressure washing of patios and drives, and general garden upkeep contracts are captured with garden size, service frequency, specific requirements, and preferred visiting schedule. Maintenance contracts provide steady monthly recurring revenue for a gardening business and the AI handles both new contract enquiries and existing customer rebookings with equal professionalism.
Can it manage urgent garden and landscaping work?
Yes. Retaining wall collapses after heavy rain, flooding gardens needing emergency drainage, fence panels blown down in storms, garden clearances required before property sales or valuations, and dangerous tree limbs overhanging play areas — all are treated as urgent with immediate escalation. The AI captures the damage extent, safety implications, and access details so you can prioritise the most dangerous situations.
Does it mention my qualifications?
Yes. BALI membership, APL accreditation, RHS qualifications, City & Guilds horticulture, TrustMark registration, and public liability insurance are all referenced when customers ask about credentials. For homeowners spending £5,000 to £20,000 on a garden transformation, knowing their landscaper is professionally accredited provides significant reassurance. The AI positions your landscaping company as qualified specialists rather than a general labourer with a van.
Is this suitable for a solo gardener or a larger landscaping company?
Both. A one-man gardener running a maintenance round cannot answer the phone while mowing, strimming, or hedge cutting — and every missed call is a new customer lost to a competitor who answered. At £39/month, one rescued garden tidy-up covers the cost. A landscaping firm with two or three teams uses the AI during the spring rush when enquiry volumes triple. Larger landscape contractors handling developer and commercial contracts use it for multi-channel coverage across phone, chat, and email enquiries.
How quickly can a landscaping or gardening business be set up?
48 hours. We learn about your services — whether you specialise in hard landscaping, soft landscaping, garden design, maintenance, or all of the above — your BALI or APL credentials, your coverage area, and how you want different enquiry types handled. The AI is configured on your existing phone number and the website chat widget is installed. You handle zero technical setup.
What is the benefit of an AI receptionist for my landscaping and garden maintenance business?
Landscapers and garden maintenance professionals spend their entire working day outdoors — operating mowers, strimmer, hedge cutters, and mini diggers that are too loud for phone calls, or elbow-deep in soil planting beds and laying turf. Seasonally, demand surges in spring and summer when every homeowner wants their garden transformed simultaneously. Research shows 78% of customers hire the first landscaper to respond, and 85% of callers never ring back. With regular maintenance contracts worth £1,000-£3,000 per year, garden transformations worth £2,000-£10,000, and large landscaping projects worth £10,000-£50,000+, missed calls during your busiest season cost you the most valuable work. A receptionist costs £25,000-£30,000 per year. Speed Receptionist costs £39 per month — £468 a year — and works 24/7. Your AI captures the scope (maintenance, design, hard landscaping, soft landscaping), garden size, access constraints, and timeline while you're focused on the job in front of you.
What if my landscaper business changes its prices or services?
Just drop us a message — routine business updates are free and included in your plan. If you've updated your maintenance contract pricing, added artificial turf installation, or changed your mowing round schedule, we'll update your AI receptionist within 24 hours at no extra charge. This covers the kind of day-to-day changes any landscaper business makes: adjusting prices, tweaking your service list, updating opening hours, or changing your service area. We want your AI to always give your customers accurate, up-to-date information about your landscaper business.
How does Speed Receptionist handle my customers' personal data?
Speed Receptionist processes customer enquiry data solely for the purpose of capturing and delivering leads to your landscaper business. Whether a customer contacts you by phone, website chat, WhatsApp, SMS, email, or social media, their data is handled under strict UK GDPR compliance. We operate as a data processor, meaning your business remains the data controller. All data is processed and stored within the United Kingdom, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retained only for as long as needed to deliver the service. Phone callers are informed their call may be recorded for service purposes, and chat visitors are notified their conversation may be stored. We never sell, share, or use your customers' personal details for marketing. You can request deletion of any data at any time, and we will action it within 30 days. Our full privacy policy details our complete data handling practices, retention periods, and your rights under UK data protection law.
