I'd like weekly mowing this season and a spring cleanup.
Great. What's the address, and do you know roughly how big the lot is?
515 Birch Lane, about a quarter acre.
For a quarter-acre lot, weekly mowing with edging and blowing is $189 per visit, and spring cleanup starts at $189. Would you like both?

Why landscapers miss leads in peak season
Spring brings a flood of calls for cleanups, mowing contracts and new projects, right when crews are busiest. Owners working on job sites cannot answer, and homeowners booking their season's lawn service often go with whoever calls back first. Weather delays add a steady stream of rescheduling calls on top.

Caller
Yes.
AI receptionist
I can book your spring cleanup for Tuesday at 8:00 AM Eastern and your first mowing visit the following Tuesday, and I'll note that you'd like mowing every week so the team can set up your regular day. Does that work?
Caller
Perfect.
AI receptionist
Great. What name and email should I put the bookings under?
Caller
Diane Foster, diane.foster@example.com.
AI receptionist
You're all set for both visits, with weekly mowing noted for the team. I've sent you a confirmation. If rain delays the crew, we'll let you know and find a new time.
How do you set up an AI receptionist for a landscaping company?
- 1
Tell Frontivo.io about your landscaping company: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
- 2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
- 3
Forward your business line (or get a new Frontivo.io number: in seconds in the US and Canada, after a documents check in most other countries) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.
What to add to your knowledge base
- Weekly / biweekly mowing
- Spring and fall cleanups
- Mulch and planting

- Landscape lighting
- Tree and shrub trimming
- Snow removal
Works with the tools you already use
- Your business phone number. Forward your existing line, or get a new number.
- Google & Outlook Calendar. Checks live availability before it books, so slots aren't double-booked.
- Website chat, text, Instagram, Messenger & email. One AI receptionist answers on every channel with the same knowledge (Instagram, Messenger and email are on Growth, or each on its own single-channel plan). WhatsApp is coming soon.
- Zapier, webhooks and API. Send every new lead and booking to the other software your landscaping company runs on through Zapier, Make, signed webhooks or the API (on Growth). Google Sheets and Slack or Teams alerts work on every plan.

For landscapers the key difference is instant maintenance pricing and weather rescheduling — Frontivo.io handles both without pulling anyone off a job site.
