How to set up an AI receptionist for landscaping companies
Landscaping setup starts recurring mowing without inventing a monthly price, and treats a flooding sprinkler as a repair visit rather than a design estimate.
Updated (America/New_York). A checklist, not a price check and not a call result.
Weekly mowing captures the address, a rough lot size if they know it, and a start date. A planting bed or a walkway is an estimate visit. A broken head that is flooding the lawn is a repair. None of those calls gets a price you did not enter.
Checklist
- Step 1
Recurring mowing is its own request
Address, rough size if they have it, start date, callback number. Start the request. Do not invent a monthly price. The lines are on the landscaping call scripts.
- Step 2
Cleanups book a week
A leaf pile and messy beds are a cleanup or a quote, with a preferred week. That is not the same form as a weekly mowing start.
- Step 3
Design and install stay on site
A new bed and a walkway schedule an estimate. The agent does not price the job on the phone.
- Step 4
Irrigation flooding is a repair
A broken head with the lawn flooding captures the address and the zone if they know it. Note the flooding. Do not file it as a design lead.
- Step 5
Routes and season contracts come later
Weather moves, recurring billing, and property measurements are field service setup after the phone can tell these four requests apart.

FAQ
How do I set up an AI receptionist for a landscaping company?
Let weekly mowing start a recurring request, book cleanups and design visits separately, and treat a flooding sprinkler as a repair. Do not invent a monthly price.
Are landscaping calls emergencies?
Most are not. A flooding irrigation zone is the one in the published scripts that should be noted as a repair, not a someday estimate.
When do I set up routing?
After the phone sorts the request types. Routing and seasonal contracts are week 3, in the field service checklist.
