"Can you start mowing us every week?"
It notes what they're after in their own words, takes the property address with ZIP code and passes it on. It doesn't promise a spot on your route. You decide whether they fit.
AI receptionist for landscaping companies
AI receptionist for landscapers. Answers while the mower's running.
Avowis answers calls to your landscaping business, including the ones you can't hear over a mower or a blower. It finds out what the caller wants done, takes the property address and a day that suits them, then texts you so you can walk the property, price it and set the start date yourself.
Free trial: 14 days or 100 call minutes, whichever comes first.

In landscaping the phone rings hardest when you have the least time for it. The first warm week of spring, everyone wants a cleanup, fresh mulch and a mowing slot at once, and you're on a zero-turn with ear protection on. By fall it's leaf cleanups, and in snow country it's plowing. A homeowner who reaches voicemail calls the crew whose trailer they saw down the street.
Spring or fall cleanup, mulch, sod or new plantings
It takes down the job as the caller describes it, the address and whether a day suits them for you to come look, so you can plan walkthroughs by neighborhood.
A broken sprinkler head or a zone that won't shut off
Troubleshooting stays with your team: it notes what's happening and where, and passes it on so you can decide when to send someone.
"How much for a yard my size?" or "Do you cover my area?"
It never gives a price for mowing or any other work. It answers service area and season questions from what you've approved, and tells the caller the team will go over pricing when they call back.

Your business.
In your own words.
You teach it in plain words during setup, and it only uses answers you approve. For a landscaping business, start with these.
The towns or ZIP codes your crews cover, so it can answer service-area questions
What you offer by season: mowing, cleanups, aeration, irrigation, hardscaping, snow removal
Whether you're taking new weekly mowing customers this season, so callers get a straight answer
Your hours, and the things callers ask every spring, like whether you haul away debris
A few good
questions.
What landscaping companies ask before the first hello.
Can it keep up with the spring rush?
It picks up while you're on a mower or on another line, and it handles several calls side by side, up to the number of simultaneous calls your plan includes. Each one reaches you as a text with the address and the work, so you can group walkthroughs by area.
Will it quote mowing prices?
No. It never gives a price, even for a standard weekly cut. It tells the caller the team will go over pricing when they call back, since you price by the property.
Can it add new customers to my mowing route?
No. It takes the request and any day that suits the caller. You decide where they fit and confirm the start date when you call back.
I'm out of signal half the day. How do I see messages?
Each message comes to you as a short text with the caller's name, number and what they need, plus a link to the full transcript with everything else they said. The Avowis mobile app sends the same alerts as push notifications.
What about winter, when we switch to snow removal?
Update the services and FAQs you've approved as the season changes. During a storm, plowing calls are answered and passed on the same way, and it never promises when a truck will get there.
Can I keep the number on my trucks?
Yes. Forward your existing business number to Avowis, or get a new local number from us.
