Capture leads while you're on the job site
Landscapers spend 8+ hours daily on job sites with equipment running, unable to answer calls. Meanwhile, homeowners making $20,000+ decisions expect quick responses. Every unanswered call during peak season is revenue going to your competitor.
LeadTruffle's AI handles every call instantly: qualifying the project scope, capturing property details, and scheduling estimates—all while you focus on the job at hand.
- Design consultations: Full project scope captured, estimate scheduled
- Maintenance inquiries: Property details collected, added to pipeline
- Irrigation issues: Urgency assessed, service call scheduled
- Seasonal services: Availability checked, booking confirmed
The AI knows a $200 cleanup from a $50,000 renovation
Not all landscaping leads are equal. The AI prioritizes high-value projects.
When the AI hears "complete backyard renovation," "outdoor living space," or "pool surround landscaping," it routes immediately to your design team as a priority consultation.
Keywords like "paver patio," "retaining wall," "outdoor kitchen," and "fire pit" trigger high-value routing and priority scheduling for design consultations.
When someone mentions "new sprinkler system," "smart irrigation," or "drip system installation," the AI knows this is a significant project requiring a site consultation.

Landscaping answering service FAQ
What is a landscaping answering service?
A landscaping answering service handles incoming calls for landscaping companies, qualifying leads, routing urgent requests, and scheduling estimates. AI-powered answering services respond instantly 24/7, ask trade-specific questions about property size, project scope, and timing preferences, and integrate directly with your CRM or field service software.
How much does a landscaping answering service cost?
Traditional live answering services for landscapers cost $400-1,800/month with per-minute fees of $0.75-2.00. AI answering services like LeadTruffle start at $79/month with flat-rate pricing—no per-minute charges regardless of call volume during peak spring and fall seasons.
Can an AI answering service handle seasonal call surges?
Yes. Unlike traditional services that get overwhelmed during spring rush or fall cleanup season, LeadTruffle handles unlimited concurrent calls instantly. No busy signals, no hold times, no seasonal upcharges—just consistent lead capture year-round.
Does the AI understand landscaping terminology?
LeadTruffle is trained on landscaping-specific conversations. The AI asks about property square footage, project type (hardscape vs softscape), existing irrigation systems, and budget ranges. It distinguishes between a $200 lawn cleanup and a $50,000 full landscape design project.
What software does the landscaping answering service integrate with?
LeadTruffle integrates directly with LMN, Jobber, Aspire, Arborgold, and Service Autopilot. Qualified leads are automatically added to your system with project details, and estimates can be scheduled directly on your calendar without double-booking.
How does after-hours answering work for landscapers?
After hours, the AI qualifies every inquiry, captures project scope and budget, and schedules callbacks or estimate appointments for the next business day. Customers get instant responses instead of voicemail, and you wake up to a full pipeline of qualified leads ready to book.
