Phone Answering Service for Landscapers

Your 24/7 Call Answering Service for the Landscaping Industry

Most landscape companies are small businesses that have limited resources and staff at their disposal.  But what if there was a solution to the problem of not having enough staff dedicated just to answering phones and setting up appointments?  At Front Office Solutions, we can help.

Front Office Solutions can provide an answering service that can significantly enhance the operations, customer experience, and overall success of your landscaping business. By streamlining communication, ensuring availability, and maintaining professionalism, our answering service can play a crucial role in attracting and retaining customers.

What We Offer 

Front Office Solutions offers a live virtual receptionist answering service customized just for landscaping companies. You receive affordable, fixed pricing, and a vast array of features. It’s the optimal way to be there for your customers no matter what. Your customers will feel they’re talking with your awesome office staff. They’ll never know the difference and they will receive exceptional customer service.

Securing leads starts with answering calls. If your incoming calls go to voicemail, most of those potential customers will just call someone else. That’s reason enough not to rely on voicemail.

Trying to answer all calls yourself can also be tiring, time consuming, and difficult to keep track of. Especially if you’re also trying to manage projects and other staff. While it can be a point of pride for many landscapers to speak with every client, that doesn’t mean you have to be personally available to take every single call that comes through your main line. That’s an easy way to burn out.

While you could always hire a phone operator, you’ll have to go through the hiring process, provide equipment and a place to work, and provide them with benefits. You’ll also lose coverage if they get sick or take a vacation. And if they ever leave, you’ll have to start the process all over again.

On the other hand, hiring a live answering service costs a fraction of the price of an employee.  That makes outsourcing your call handling needs the best possible choice. We can also handle other needs that might not be possible for an entry-level phone operator, and can ensure coverage exactly when you need it.

We also offer a 7-day free trial, so you can see our service in action before committing.

100% of our answering process can be customized to your specifications, including the initial greeting, how bids are handled, and when calls are transferred. We also record all calls, so you can listen in and make adjustments as necessary.
Your calls are handled exactly the way you want. Some popular options include:

  • Screening bad calls and transferring all good leads immediately.
  • Transcribing calls and sending you notifications as they come in.
  • Scheduling appointments and booking them directly into your project management or calendar software.
  • Transferring only the best leads to you, allowing you to return the other calls at your convenience.

Whether you know exactly how you want your calls handled, or whether you’re option to options, we’re happy to help.

In the end, you have full control over how each caller is handled, from how we answer the phone to call forwarding, messaging, and more.

Call centers are typically large, impersonal, overseas companies that prioritize the number of clients serviced. This can be a problem for your landscaping clients who want a more personal touch.

Our call answering services are handled by a 100% in-office staff in Beaverton, Oregon. Our live operators prioritize customer satisfaction for you and your clients, not total call volume.

Superior Customization

Other call answering services lock you into specific practices for handling inbound callers. At Front Office Solutions, you have much more flexibility. We want to fit into how your business operates – not the other way around.

Scalable on Short Notice

Most landscaping customers don’t expect a response after hours – which is a great opportunity to delight them. But if you have busy seasons due to seasonal services, like snow clearing or sprinkler repair, we can quickly add more team members to cover those needs.

High customer service standards

While we’re very flexible, one thing we don’t compromise on is customer service. Out call staff has extensive experience in customer service, including conflict de-escalation, pre-sales, and navigating cultural barriers. We continually train our staff to professionally handle more needs and responsibilities.

Extremely customizable

If you want appointment setting services, callbacks, sales, or other virtual office services, we can handle that too. Just discuss your goals with one of out team leaders and we’ll help develop a plan for your unique business needs.

Our Service Pays For Itself

For less than you can hire and train an office person to take calls, answer questions, schedule, dispatch, and many other tasks, you can hire us. You won’t have to worry about training, taxes, insurance, sick time, vacation time, the list goes on. Our virtual receptionists are specifically trained for garage door companies and know your business already. We have systems in place to make your business run smoother and more profitable. Your revenues will increase and you will have much less stress everyday as a result of our services.

Every call to your business that goes unanswered is a missed opportunity. Ensure that emergency calls and regular calls are handled properly whenever they come in by signing up for our landscape answering service. We will help you thrill your existing clients, and gain new ones.

Actual Client Calls and Revenue Generated

Whether you rely on us for after-hours coverage or 24/7 coverage, our team will improve your bottom line—and generate more than we cost.

Our services pay for themselves by increasing your revenue.

How Much is a Landscaping Call Worth?

At Front Office Solutions, we know that one missed call can mean a lot of missed business. According to Homeguide, the average landscaping job in the US runs $50-$100 per hour, while a complete landscaping installation can cost between $3,000 and $16,000. Depending on your margins, that typically means it only takes one good call to cover your call answering expenses for a month.

But that’s still just the beginning. The great thing about landscaping is, unlike plumbing or HVAC, your work is always on display. Neighbors will see your work in the front yard, and friends will see your work in the backyard. If you’re good about keeping clients happy and asking for reviews, one good job can easily turn into three more.

That’s why having live person answering your phones is so important: automated answering, or missing a call, sends a bad message to potential clients. It says that your call isn’t that important to us. That’s especially true if they call during business hours, or they have a few questions before requesting a bid. Even if they’re calling because of your stellar reputation, if you make it hard to get in contact with your company, those callers are more likely to call someone else than leave a voicemail.

Full & Partial Phone Coverage

Whether you’re ready to outsource 100% of your inbound calls, or whether you just need a little extra seasonal help, we’re happy to assist. 

Front Office Solutions is the easiest way to add after hours, weekend, and holiday coverage for your services, ensuring that your next big leads will never slip through the cracks. And if you want to change which times we cover, our team can quickly scale or contract service based on your needs. That’s something that’s impossible with in-office staff alone.
