AI receptionist for your gardener & landscaper business
Callers to a gardener & landscaper business ring about regular garden maintenance, hedge trimming and shaping and garden clearance. LineHQ's AI receptionist answers in your name within a couple of seconds, asks the questions you would ask, takes the name and number, and passes on a message a person can act on. It never quotes a price you have not given it, and a real emergency gets the right advice, not a sales pitch.

The AI receptionist is included on the Reception plan: 60 minutes included, about 30 answered calls, then prepaid minute bundles or 15p a minute. Pick the Gardener & landscaper starter pack on the Knowledge page and it knows your trade's questions before you have typed a word.

// what it asks
The questions a gardener & landscaper would ask, asked for you
The starter pack gives the receptionist your trade's triage questions and the signs that a call is urgent. An urgent call gets the caller's name and number first and a promise that a person will ring back straight away.
They want regular garden maintenance
It asks, one at a time: "Roughly how big is the garden, and is it mainly lawn, borders or both?" "How often would you like us to come?" "Is there anything in particular that needs keeping on top of, such as a hedge?"
They want a garden cleared
It asks, one at a time: "How overgrown is it, and roughly how big an area?" "Is there anything to keep, such as particular plants or a shed?" "Is there access for taking the waste out, such as a side gate?"
They want a patio, path or driveway
It asks, one at a time: "Is it a new area or replacing an existing one?" "Roughly what size, and do you have a material in mind?"
They want fencing or a gate
It asks, one at a time: "Is it a repair or a new fence, and roughly how many panels or metres?" "Is any of it down right now and leaving the garden open?"
Frequently asked questions
A caller asks: "How much do you charge?"
The receptionist says: "It depends on the size of the garden and the work. For a one-off job we need to see the garden first, and a person will come back to you with a price."
A caller asks: "Do you take the cuttings and waste away?"
The receptionist says: "Yes, we take green waste away with us on most jobs. A person will confirm this when they quote."
A caller asks: "Do you do regular visits?"
The receptionist says: "Yes, many customers have us weekly, fortnightly or monthly through the growing season. Tell me roughly how big the garden is and a person will arrange it."
A caller asks: "Can you clear a completely overgrown garden?"
The receptionist says: "Yes, that is a common job for us. A person will come and look at it before giving a price, because every garden is different."
A caller asks: "Do you lay patios and driveways?"
The receptionist says: "Yes, we lay and repair patios, paths and block-paved driveways. A person will visit to measure up and talk through what you want."
A caller asks: "Can you cut down a large tree?"
The receptionist says: "We handle small trees and shrubs. Large trees and anything near a road or power line need a tree surgeon, and we can say so once we have seen it."
A caller asks: "Do you work in the winter?"
The receptionist says: "Yes, winter is a good time for fencing, paving, clearing and pruning. Regular lawn visits usually pause until the grass starts growing again."
A caller asks: "Do I need to be home?"
The receptionist says: "Not usually, as long as we can get into the garden. We will agree access when we set up the visit."
What will it never do for a gardener & landscaper?
It never handles felling large trees or working near power lines, ponds, pumps and water features, garden lighting and electrics, artificial grass and house clearance and rubbish removal. Anything it cannot answer becomes a message with the caller's name and number.

It is included on the Reception plan: 60 minutes included, about 30 answered calls. After that you can buy a prepaid bundle of minutes or pay 15p a minute from calling credit. Scale includes 200 minutes, about 100 answered calls.
