This call may be recorded. Hi, this is Curtis, Cedar Row Landscaping's AI assistant. What can I help you with today?
- Caller
We just bought a house and the backyard is mostly dirt. We'd like a patio and some planting.
- Curtis
Sounds like a great project. Roughly how big is the backyard, and do you have a style in mind, or would you like ideas?

Maybe forty by sixty feet. We'd like ideas. Do you charge for estimates? We're in Clearwater.

What Curtis handles for landscapers
Spring rush, storm cleanup and estimate requests, while your crews are out on the job.
Estimates for new projects
Patios, planting, sod, a full redesign: Curtis asks what the homeowner has in mind and roughly how big the area is, and books the estimate visit.
Regular maintenance
Mowing, mulch, seasonal cleanups: Curtis answers questions about your service from the information you give it, and books the first visit.
Irrigation problems
A zone that won't shut off, a broken head, a dry patch: Curtis asks what's happening first, takes the details your crew needs, and books the repair.
Storm cleanup
A limb down or a tree across the driveway: Curtis asks what came down and whether it's blocking anything, takes the address, and emails emergencies to your team right away.
Every trade gets the same Curtis, set up around your company's own information. See how Curtis works.
Landscaping answering service questions
Is Curtis an answering service for landscapers?
It does that job and more. Curtis picks up 24/7 while your crews are out, asks about the property and the job, and books the estimate or the visit instead of just taking a message.
Will Curtis quote a price for a project?
Only prices you've given it, like a mowing rate you publish. Project prices depend on the property, so Curtis books the estimate visit or offers a callback instead of guessing.
How much does an AI answering service cost?
Curtis comes as part of our monthly service, with your website and local SEO. The price depends on your business, so we go through it on a short call. Try Curtis for free.
Does Curtis work with Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Jobber, yes. Connect your Jobber account and Curtis books straight into it, as a request or a scheduled visit, only into times your schedule shows open. Housecall Pro is next: the connection is built, and we switch it on with the first shops that use it. Curtis also books into a connected Google Calendar. If your schedule lives somewhere else, tell us on a call.
What does Curtis do with storm damage or a broken sprinkler?
It asks what's happening first, takes the address and the details your crew needs, and emails emergencies to your team right away.
Do you build websites for landscaping companies?
Yes. We build websites for landscaping companies with the same website builder we used for this site, and Curtis can answer your customers on them. See a demo website for a made-up landscaping company, or read more about our websites.
Is it really free to try?
Yes. Your first month is free. The team sets Curtis up for your business, you hear how he handles your calls, and if he's not for you, cancel in that month and you're never charged.
What works on day one?
Website chat works from day one, and Curtis books into a connected Google Calendar. Phone answering starts once your business line is forwarded to him.
