AI Chatbot forLandscaping Companies

Sofia is the only chatbot built specifically for landscaping companies. She answers every yard question, day or night. She sends your booking link, turning the visitors you already pay for into design consultations and regular lawn care customers.

Benefits of a landscaping AI chatbot.

Sofia handles the first conversation and hands every lead to your team, so better-sorted requests mean better consultations.

  • Answers when your office can’t.

    Evenings, weekends and the spring rush. Every visitor gets a reply and your booking link.

  • Sorted before the site visit.

    Each lead shows the project, the size, the timing and whether it’s a design job or lawn care, so big projects don’t get buried under mowing quotes.

  • Your team stays in charge.

    Every lead goes to your team by text and email, so your office and designers take it from there. Sofia supports them, she doesn’t replace them.

  • Less wasted drive time.

    Homes outside your ZIP codes and services you don’t offer get a polite reply instead of a booking link. You set these in your dashboard.

  • Better consultations.

    Your designer knows the project, the budget range and who’s deciding before arriving, and maintenance customers still get a quick answer.

  • Better return on your ad money.

    When more of the inquiries you already pay for become consultations, and more consultations become signed projects, your Google Ads and SEO budget goes further.

Every question Sofia answers.

The questions homeowners ask on your website, answered in your words. Prices come only from the ranges you add, and anything else goes to your team.

  • Do you do weekly lawn mowing?
  • Can you build a patio or retaining wall?
  • Do you do landscape design?
  • Can you add a fire pit or outdoor kitchen?
  • Can you redo my flower beds and shrubs?
  • Can you fix a soggy yard or install irrigation?
  • How much does it cost?
  • Do you do spring and fall cleanups?
  • Do you service my area?
  • Do you offer seasonal maintenance plans?
  • How soon can someone come out?
  • What happens at the design consultation?
  • Can you remove a tree or clean up after a storm?
  • Do you plow snow in the winter?
  • Do you work with HOAs and businesses?
  • Can I talk to a person?

A contact form gives you a name. A conversation gives you the project.

A form gives you a name and a number. Sofia’s conversation gives you the details, so your team goes into calls ready to close and your designer knows what to expect before the site visit.

The homeowner says

“A patio and a fire pit”

“We want a paver patio in the backyard.” “How much for a fire pit and seating wall?”

Sofia asks about size, materials and timing, so the request arrives already qualified.

Sofia

Sunday, 8:12 PM. Office closed.

Do you build patios and fire pits?

Yes, we design and build patios, fire pits and walkways. About how big is the space?

Roughly 600 square feet in the back yard.

Got it. Do you have a budget range in mind, and what's your address?

Consultation keptAnswered in seconds, so this homeowner never called the next landscaper.

  • Answers at 8 PM on a Sunday

    Homeowners plan their yards in the evening and on weekends, and hire whoever replies first. Sofia replies in seconds, so that patio doesn't go to the next landscaper.

  • Answers the questions that stall a project

    Price ranges, what a cleanup includes, how long a patio takes and how lawn plans work, from pages you approve. Homeowners leave sure, not wondering.

  • Sounds like your company

    Your name, your voice and your face on the chat. More homeowners trust it and say yes to a consultation.

Capture every lead

Waste less time. Go into every consultation prepared.

    Open slots from each designer's calendar, confirmed by text. A booked consultation is the step closest to a signed project.

  • Turns visitors into contacts

    Name, mobile and email arrive during the chat, so every interested homeowner becomes a lead you can follow up.

Handle every job

Turn every lead into booked work.

  • New chat on your website: We want a patio and fire pit built this fall. Budget is around $20,000. Rule: Design and build. Sent to Dale, Design.
  • New chat on your website: Can you mow and fertilize our lawn every week? Rule: Recurring lawn care. Sent to Jenna, Lawn care.
  • New chat on your website: I manage an office park and need grounds maintenance. Rule: Commercial inquiry. Sent to Tom, Commercial.
  • Alerts your team in seconds

    A text and an email with the full transcript land the moment a lead qualifies, so follow-up starts while the homeowner is still planning.

  • Sends each lead to the right person

    Matched by project type, area and who is free. Design-build goes to your designer, lawn care to your account manager, commercial to commercial, so every lead reaches the person who can close it.

  • Shows which leads become projects

    See which pages, searches and ads bring booked consultations and lawn care plans, then put your budget where the work is.

Plan your season around what homeowners ask.

One dashboard shows your lead flow and what homeowners ask about, so you can staff, market and quote with real numbers.

What kind of customer is it?

Weekly or seasonal lawn care. Uses the first-year value you enter.

Revenue you lose every month

$3,240

About 1.8 customers lost

Over a year: $38,880

Plus about 4.5 hours a month ($140) on inquiries that were never a fit

Book a demo

Example math: 10% of inquiries that get a slow reply or none would have booked. 30% of inquiries are not a fit (wrong area, wrong service, just browsing) and take about 15 minutes each, valued at $30 an hour. A planning tool, not a promise. Revenue is not profit. One-time jobs use $333, a typical maintenance visit. A design and install customer is worth far more, so try a higher first-year number to see the difference.

Flat monthly price. Cancel anytime.

Questions and answers

Can it tell a patio project from a mowing request?

Yes. That’s the first thing it figures out, and each type gets its own questions. Design projects get a link to book a consultation, and lawn care requests go to your team with the address, lot size and how often.

Will it give project prices?

No. It can ask which budget range fits, using ranges you add to your dashboard instructions, and it can share maintenance prices you’ve written there. It never makes up a number.

Can customers sign up for a maintenance plan or pay in the chat?

No. Sofia doesn’t take payments or sign-ups. She explains your plans in your words and lets your team know who’s interested, so your team can sign them up.

What happens when our designers are fully booked in April?

Your booking link shows the next open time in your scheduling tool. If the homeowner would rather plan a fall install, Sofia notes it in the lead summary.

We still want maintenance customers. Will it turn them away?

No. They get quick, clear answers and their requests come to you by text and email. They just don’t end up on your designer’s calendar.

What details does it collect for a design visit?

Project type, rough size, timing, budget range (using ranges you set), and who will be there. Add questions about access or HOA rules to your dashboard instructions if you want them asked.

Will this replace my office staff?

No. It handles website questions and helps people book consultations and estimates so your office can focus on phones, crews and customers. It’s extra coverage on your site, not a replacement for your team.

What if someone messages about storm damage at night?

It follows the urgency rules in your instructions: asks what happened, whether anything is blocking the driveway or near the house, sends your booking link, and sends the lead to you right away by text and email. It does not promise an arrival time.

Does it answer our phones or customer texts?

No. It only works as a chatbot on your website. Your office team still handles the phones.

Is this an AI receptionist for missed calls?

No. It only works in website chat. Tools that answer your phones are different.

Does it help with my Local Services Ads?

Local Services Ads calls and messages go through Google, not your website, so Sofia doesn’t answer those. She helps with everyone who lands on your website: from Google Ads, search, your Google Business Profile, or people who look you up after seeing an ad, a truck or a yard sign. That’s the part of your marketing budget she works on.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes to go live. You add your details in the dashboard, add your booking link, and paste one short script on your site. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, custom sites and more.

Can I see which ads and searches bring in leads?

Yes. With our GA4 integration, you can see how visitors from your paid ads and from search turn into chats and leads. With our Zapier integration, each lead’s details can go to the other tools you use for follow-up emails, spreadsheets or team alerts, and help you decide where to spend.
