AI Receptionist for Garden Design & Landscaping Companies
Never lose a landscaping project enquiry while you're mid-turf.
Ava captures garden design enquiries and books the site visit while you're out on the tools.
A full garden redesign runs £4,000–£20,000. Missing two weekly enquiries is £400,000+ in annual revenue you never quoted.
The short answer
- £4,000–£20,000 project value means two missed weekly enquiries equals six figures in lost annual revenue.
- Ava captures garden size, scope, budget, and timeline before booking the site visit — your designer arrives briefed.
- Seasonal peaks (spring/summer) generate 70%+ of annual project volume — Ava handles surge calls without dropping quality.
- Evening and weekend enquiries dominate this category; homeowners research after work when inspired by their garden.
- 48-hour setup, 10-booking guarantee on site consultations.
The problem
You're designing a garden on one site and laying turf on another. A homeowner rings about a full garden redesign — £8,000 project, ready to go. Four rings, voicemail. They ring the next landscaper and book the consultation.
What Ava does
Ava answers, captures garden size, project scope, budget range, and availability for a site visit, then books the consultation directly — so your designer arrives with a pre-qualified brief, not a cold call.
A full garden design and landscaping project runs £4,000–£20,000. Missing two enquiries per week is £400,000+ annually in jobs you never quoted.
Why do landscaping companies miss project enquiries during busy periods?
Landscapers are on-site all day during spring and summer — the exact period when homeowner enquiry volume peaks. No one is in the office to answer. Calls go to voicemail, and homeowners planning a garden project book the first firm that responds. The window to win the job closes fast.
Garden design enquiries are high-consideration but time-sensitive. Homeowners ring in spring ready to start that season. If you don't capture the call immediately, they book with whoever answers — and that booking locks in the project timeline, making it very hard to win back.
Jobber and Yardbook both support calendar integration. Ava books the site consultation directly, capturing garden dimensions, scope preferences (hard landscaping, planting, water features), and budget range. Your designer has a full brief before leaving the office.
Houzz Pro leads are common in this niche — homeowners browsing design inspiration and clicking through to call. Ava handles these with the same quality as direct enquiries, capturing the inspiration source and project vision.
How does Ava qualify a garden design enquiry?
Ava asks for the approximate garden size, whether the project includes hard landscaping, planting, lawn, or water features, the homeowner's timeline (start date, completion target), budget range, and availability for a site visit. This pre-qualification turns a cold consultation into a productive one.
Budget capture is particularly important for garden design. A homeowner with a £2,000 budget needs a different conversation from one with a £15,000 budget. Ava's script can include a budget-range question configured to your firm's project minimums, filtering out enquiries outside your scope before the site visit.
New build garden enquiries are a distinct category — often larger, time-pressured by build completion, and involving coordination with builders. Ava flags these separately so your team can prioritise response.
What is the seasonal cost of missed landscaping enquiries?
Landscaping enquiries concentrate in a 4–5 month spring and summer window. Missing calls during March–July can remove 70–80% of annual project volume from your pipeline. A firm losing 30% of enquiries in this period — a conservative estimate for teams without dedicated call handling — loses £100,000–£300,000 in annual revenue.
Unlike emergency trades, landscaping jobs don't ring back. A homeowner who gets voicemail during their buying moment moves on. The emotional trigger (seeing the garden, planning for summer) fades within days. Ava captures the enquiry at the peak of buyer intent.

- Thanks for calling. This is Ava, the virtual receptionist. Are you looking for a garden design or landscaping quote?
- Yes — we've just moved in and the garden's a blank canvas. Want to do something proper with it.
- Exciting project. Roughly how large is the garden, and do you have a feel for the style — contemporary, cottage, family-friendly?
- Contemporary. About 15 by 10 metres.
- Perfect size for that. Do you have a rough budget in mind?
- Around £10,000.
- That works really well. I'll book a site consultation — when are you free?

Common questions
Everything you’re wondering.
Can Ava book a site visit directly into our designer's diary?
Yes — Ava integrates with Jobber, Google Calendar, or your scheduling system to confirm the visit live on the call.
What if the project is too small for our minimum value?
Configure Ava with your project minimum. She can politely decline smaller requests or refer them to a maintenance package if you offer one.
Does Ava handle commercial landscaping enquiries differently?
Yes — she captures company name, site type, maintenance requirements, and contract scale before routing to your commercial team.
What about seasonal maintenance enquiries — not project work?
Ava handles recurring maintenance enquiries with a separate script, booking the initial assessment rather than a design consultation.
How long is setup?
48 hours. Our team configures the script to your project types and connects your calendar.
What's the guarantee?
10 site consultation bookings in 30 days or a full refund and free service until you hit 10.
