Your AI receptionist catches every landscaping, garden maintenance, and lawn care enquiry — even when you're drowning out the world with a hedge trimmer.
“I was mowing a client's lawn when a landscaping enquiry came in for a full garden redesign. Patchcalls captured every detail — I called back the same evening and won a £4,500 job.”

Mowers, strimmers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws create a wall of noise. Even with your phone on vibrate, you won't feel it in your pocket while operating heavy machinery. By the time you take a break, the caller has already found someone else.
Extensions and loft conversions are your highest-value jobs — often £30k-80k. A homeowner comparing builders will call 3-4 companies. If you're the one who doesn't pick up, you don't even make the shortlist. That's tens of thousands in potential work gone.
Spring and summer are when every homeowner wants their garden done. Calls flood in and you're already booked solid. Missing even a few calls during peak season means losing your pipeline for quieter months — the exact time you need that steady regular maintenance work.
You're on a noisy site pouring foundations. The phone rings but you can't hear it over the mixer. Normally, that's a £40k job gone.
Your AI receptionist picks up in under 2 seconds, greets the caller professionally, and asks what they need — regular maintenance, garden design, patio laying, fencing, tree surgery, or a seasonal tidy-up.
Name, number, garden size, job type, timeline, and budget — all in a text. When you finish the current job, call them back with everything you need to quote.
“I lost two loft conversion enquiries in one week because I couldn't hear my phone on-site. That's £60k in potential work. Patchcalls makes sure that never happens again.”

“Spring is when everyone wants their garden sorted at once. I was turning my phone off just to focus on the work. Now Patchcalls handles the calls and I just check the texts between jobs.”

Absolutely. Regular maintenance contracts are the bread and butter of a gardening business. When someone calls about weekly or fortnightly visits, the AI captures their garden size, what they need doing (mowing, weeding, hedge trimming), and their preferred schedule. You call back and sign them up for ongoing work.
The AI notes whether the caller wants a one-off job (patio cleaning, tree removal, garden clearance) or ongoing maintenance. This helps you prioritise — you might want to call back the maintenance contract lead first since it's recurring revenue, then follow up on the one-off jobs.
Yes. Whether it's a letting agent calling about multiple properties, a pub wanting their beer garden sorted, or a business park needing grounds maintenance, the AI handles commercial enquiries professionally. It captures the property details, scope of work, and contact information.
Yes. Yes. You keep your existing number. Patchcalls works via call forwarding — when you don't pick up, the call goes to your AI receptionist. Setup takes 4 minutes. No app, no hardware, no IT knowledge required.
