AI employees for landscapers

Landscaping calls come in spring, all at once, while you are on a mower with the phone in a pocket you cannot reach. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that captures each one in your name, a renewal agent that re-signs last year's customers for the season, and a collections agent that follows up the invoices you would rather not chase, each disclosing that it is an AI and calling only where consent is on file.

The moment

Spring fills the phone faster than it fills the schedule.

A homeowner who wants weekly mowing calls three companies from the porch. An AI receptionist asks what the property needs and roughly how big it is, takes the address and the number, and texts it to you before the second company picks up. No estimate given, just the job, captured while you finish the row.

The roster

Who to hire first.

Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your landscaping company. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.

A shift in this trade

What a call sounds like.

A sample call in one landscaping company's brief. Every business gets its own brief, so your employees know your hours, your calendar and your prices, not a generic script.

Incoming call · 11:20 am, April

[SAMPLE CALL]
  1. Caller: We just moved in and the yard is a mess. Do you do weekly mowing and a spring cleanup?
  2. Employee: This is the AI assistant for [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]. We do both. Roughly how large is the lot, and are there beds that need edging or mulch?
  3. Caller: Quarter acre, two big beds out front.
  4. Employee: Thank you. I have the address and your number; the owner will call you with a quote after a look at the property, usually the same day.

Job texted with lot size and bed notes; no price given.

The first-day brief

What your brief needs.

Ten minutes on the phone with us, and the three things only your landscaping company can tell us.

  • Which services you sell and which you do not, so it stops at the right place.
  • The season calendar: when renewals start, when cleanups run, when you stop taking new lawns.
  • Which invoices the collections agent may follow up, and the payment link it sends.

Your first hire, by hours worked

A flat wage. Compare it with the hire you could not find.

Your first hire takes the tier you pick, whatever the role. Every hire after it is the additional wage on the same brief and adds to the pool. The wages page prints every figure.

Will it quote a mowing price?

The collections role follows up the ones you flag, on your schedule, in the tone you set.
