A landscaping firm with a team?

Your team's busy, and the calls, rain days and quotes still land on you. I set up AI so everyone works the same way, then look after it and help your team use it.

Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.

What I'd set up for you

Regular visits in rounds

Fortnightly and monthly visits grouped by area, with new work slotted in nearby.

With a teamOne diary the whole team works from.

Rain-day rescheduling

When the weather turns, affected customers are offered new dates in one go.

With a teamChanges handled without anyone ringing round.

Quotes from photos

Customers send photos, and you get a draft quote to check.

With a teamDone the same way every time, whoever's on.

Seasonal reminders

Hedge cutting, lawn treatments and autumn tidies offered to past customers at the right time.

With a teamNothing depends on one person remembering.

A team that's confident with AI

Every business is different. I start by sitting down with you to see how your week actually works, then suggest only what will save you real time.

An example · made up

A wet Wednesday

Rain all day. One text from you, and every customer is offered the next dry slot that fits the round. You put the kettle on.

Colchester's gardens range from small terrace yards to big plots out towards Dedham and Boxted. Planning rounds by area keeps the van full and the miles down.

WhatsApp messagesMade-up example

A gardener's WhatsApp replies

CustomerCould you quote for clearing an overgrown back garden?

CustomerPhotos sent!
AI assistantThanks. Tuesday at 3pm is booked. Tom will confirm the price after the visit.
Hear Amy take a call

Thistledown Garden Care

A past customer answers the autumn-tidy reminder and sends photos for a quote.

Made-up call, 1:15. Amy is the same AI assistant that answers 01206 636 400.

Read the call
  1. Amy Hello, Thistledown Garden Care. I'm Amy, Billie's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Billie gets your message. How can I help?
  2. Caller Hello. I had a text from you about an autumn tidy, and I thought, yes, it's about time. The hedge has got completely out of hand.
  3. Amy Lovely. Can I take your name?
  4. Caller Margaret Ellison, in Boxted.
  5. Amy Thanks, Margaret. I'll just check your details.
  6. Amy Yes, Billie cut your hedge last October. Billie's in Boxted on Wednesday afternoons, so a tidy would fit in nicely.
  7. Caller And roughly what will it cost?
  8. Amy I won't guess without seeing it. If you text a couple of photos of the hedge and the borders, Billie will send you a proper quote, and then we can pick a Wednesday.
  9. Caller My grandson can do the photos. He's coming for lunch on Sunday.
  10. Amy Perfect. And if it rains on the day, you'll get a text offering the next dry Wednesday, so there's no need to ring round.
  11. Caller Well, it is England.
  12. Amy It is. Enjoy your Sunday lunch, Margaret.
