RingmereHome / Industries / Gardeners & Landscapers
The AI phone receptionist for gardeners & landscapers.
You are on a ride-on mower with ear defenders on when a new customer rings about their hedges. Ringmere answers, books the hedge cut or the clearance with the size of the garden and any access details the caller gives, and takes the bigger landscaping jobs as enquiries for you to price.
The missed-call problem
Sound familiar?
- A mower running and a phone you cannot hear
- Spring, when every garden in the area wants doing at once
- Landscaping enquiries that need a visit before anyone can quote
Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.
How Ringmere helps gardeners & landscapers
Answer, book, and hand you the rest.
Answers your calls, 24/7
First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books the visits, takes the projects
Books maintenance visits, hedge cuts and clearances at your prices, and takes patios, fencing and design work as enquiries for a survey.
Escalates what matters
Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.
It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.
Call by call
Every call a gardener gets.
Garden work is seasonal, outdoors and noisy, which is exactly when a phone goes unanswered. This is what Ringmere does with the calls you cannot hear over the mower.
| The call | What Ringmere does |
|---|---|
| “Can you cut my hedges back?” | Books it at your price with the address, the size of the garden and any access details the caller gives in the notes. If you use Google Calendar, a postcode in the notes becomes the event location. |
| A new customer who wants regular maintenance | Books the first visit and takes the request for a regular slot as a message for you to confirm. |
| A garden clearance before a house sale | Booked as a fixed job if you price it that way, otherwise taken as an enquiry with what needs clearing. |
| A patio, fencing, turfing or a full redesign | Never priced on the phone. Taken as an enquiry, with a survey visit booked if you offer one. |
| “Is this tree protected?” | Not answered. The question and the caller’s number go to you. |
| “Do you cover my area?” | Answered from the areas you have listed. If the postcode is outside them, it says so politely. |
| The first warm Saturday in March | Answered on the first ring, so the spring rush goes into your diary instead of your voicemail. |
An example call
Written to show how a call goes, using sample services and prices; not a recording.
Caller: Hi, our hedges have got out of hand. Could someone come and cut them back?
Ringmere: Yes. Hedge cutting is £120 for up to three hours. How big is the garden, roughly, and is it front, back or both?
Caller: Just the back. It’s a medium garden, conifers along one side.
Ringmere: Thanks. I have Friday at 10am or Monday at 8am.
Caller: Friday. You’ll need to come through the side gate, it’s unlocked.
Ringmere: I’ll note the side gate. What’s the address with the postcode?
Caller: 3 Birch Avenue, GL52 6PJ. I’m Margaret.
Ringmere: Thanks, Margaret. That’s booked: hedge cutting on Friday at 10am at 3 Birch Avenue, rear garden, through the side gate.
