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
Why do gardening customers text instead of calling?
Maintenance customers text the same number every spring and autumn for seasonal work — it is quick, familiar, and creates a booking record. Older homeowners with large gardens, who represent a significant proportion of the regular gardening customer base, often prefer standard SMS over apps. Without SMS automation, these loyal repeat customers — who generate reliable weekly or fortnightly income with zero marketing spend — wait for a reply while you are on another garden, and convenience pushes them to find a different gardener.
How does the AI handle seasonal maintenance rebookings?
The AI recognises returning customer patterns — "time for the spring tidy" or "same as last year" — and responds warmly, confirming the services from their message and asking whether anything additional is needed. The tone is friendly and professional, not corporate. These repeat seasonal customers are the financial backbone of most gardening businesses: predictable income, zero acquisition cost, and often expanding scope year on year as trust builds.
Can the AI handle texts about garden problems?
Yes. Waterlogged lawns, collapsed fences, overgrown hedges causing neighbour disputes, diseased plants, and moss-covered patios — the AI responds with relevant questions about the problem and captures details for a site assessment. Problem-driven texts often convert into larger work: a waterlogged lawn leads to a drainage project, a collapsed fence leads to a fencing quote, an overgrown garden leads to a full clearance and tidy-up.
Is SMS automation useful for commercial grounds contracts?
Yes. Facilities managers and property managers who text their preferred grounds maintenance contractor about additional work, seasonal adjustments, or urgent requirements receive immediate professional responses. Maintaining responsiveness on these commercial relationships protects contracts worth £5,000 to £30,000 annually.
What does SMS automation cost?
£29/month with unlimited text responses. One retained regular gardening customer — worth £50 to £100 per visit with fortnightly or monthly visits throughout the growing season — covers the cost immediately and generates ongoing revenue for years.
What is the benefit of AI SMS for my landscaping business?
Garden enquiries peak in spring with homeowners texting: "can you come and clear the garden? It's overgrown" or "how much for regular fortnightly maintenance?" These texts arrive while you're on another garden with the mower running. Your AI replies instantly, asking about the garden size, current condition, and required services. At £29 per month, one captured regular maintenance contract at £80-£150 per visit creates recurring income that far exceeds the service cost.
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 sms 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.
