What calls look like for landscapers and lawn care pros

Lawn care and landscaping calls pile up in spring and fall, exactly when your crew is busiest outside. Weekly mowing customers are worth a lot over a season, so a missed first call can cost far more than one visit.

A lot of calls are estimates: cleanups, new plants and mulch, treatments for weeds and bare spots. Those callers almost always contact more than one company. The one who answers, even by text, gets the walk-through.

One missed call, start to finish

Example with a made-up business. The texts below are what the customer and you would see.

Emergencies jump the line

You pick the words that mean drop everything. For landscapers and lawn care pros that's usually things like sprinkler flooding or broken line. When a customer uses one, the job alert says URGENT and the job is pinned to the top of JobStation, the app where you run your jobs.

Questions from landscapers and lawn care pros

Can customers sign up for weekly mowing?

They can pick Regular lawn mowing, which asks how big the yard is and how often they want it mowed, then book a first visit or estimate.

What does a cleanup caller get asked?

The Yard cleanup option asks what needs clearing (leaves, overgrowth, beds or debris) and how big the job is, so you can estimate before you go.

Does it work for sprinkler repairs?

Yes. Sprinkler problem or repair is a built-in option, and you can mark flooding as urgent.

Can I pause it in winter?

Yes. Flip the switch in Settings or text PAUSE, and text RESUME when the season starts. While paused, callers hear a short message and don't get a text.
