Why Landscaping Businesses Lose Customers to Missed Calls
Landscaping is outdoor work with loud equipment. When a call comes in, you probably cannot even hear your phone over the mower or trimmer. That creates a serious problem for growing your business.
Think about when potential customers call a landscaping company. They want their lawn looking good for a party, need spring cleanup before the neighbors start judging, or are finally ready to install that patio they have been planning. When they call and reach voicemail, most do not leave a message. They immediately search for another landscaper and try again. Studies show that approximately 80% of callers who reach voicemail will not leave a message. They simply move on to your competitor.
The seasonal nature of landscaping makes this problem even worse. Spring is when everyone wants service, and that is exactly when you are busiest on job sites. You might get 20 calls in a single day, and if you are mowing lawns from sunrise to sunset, you miss most of them. If your average job is worth $150 and you miss just 5 calls per week, that is $750 per week in lost revenue. Over the busy season, those missed calls add up to tens of thousands of dollars.
Hiring office help is one solution, but it comes with significant costs. A part time office person still costs $15,000 to $25,000 per year, and they can only work certain hours. Many landscaping calls come in the evening when homeowners get home from work. Those after hours calls go straight to voicemail unless you have another solution.

A Better Way to Handle Calls for Your Landscaping Business
Ringlii is a phone answering service built specifically for service businesses like yours. It answers calls professionally, captures job details, and notifies you instantly.
When a homeowner calls your landscaping business and you cannot answer, Ringlii picks up the phone on your behalf. It greets callers with a custom greeting that sounds professional and represents your company. Callers get a real conversation, not a cold voicemail box. They can explain what landscaping services they need, and Ringlii collects the information you need.
Ringlii is trained on your specific landscaping business. It knows what services you offer, whether that is lawn maintenance, hardscaping, tree service, irrigation, or landscape design. When callers ask questions, Ringlii can answer based on the custom FAQ and answers you provide during setup. This means callers get accurate, helpful information about your services even when you are operating a mower three properties away.
After understanding what the caller needs, Ringlii collects their information using the custom questions you define. For a landscaping business, this might include property size, type of service, frequency needed, and their contact details. You get all of this information delivered to your inbox the moment the call ends, so you can follow up between jobs or at the end of the day.
How Ringlii Works for Landscaping Businesses
Getting started takes less than 5 minutes. No technical expertise required.
Tell Ringlii About Your Landscaping Business
Start by entering information about your services. Do you handle residential and commercial? Do you offer weekly maintenance or just one time jobs? What areas do you serve? What questions do you need answered before you can quote a job? You customize everything.
You also set up your custom greeting. This is what callers hear when Ringlii answers. It can mention your services, your service area, or anything else that represents your brand.
Set Up Call Forwarding
You keep your existing business phone number. When you are unavailable, simply forward calls to Ringlii. Most phone carriers make this easy to set up with a few button presses. You can forward calls all the time, only during work hours, or just when you are on a job.
This flexibility means you stay in control. Answer calls yourself when you are driving between jobs, and let Ringlii handle them when you are operating equipment or working with your crew.
Never Miss a Lead Again
When calls come in, Ringlii answers professionally. It can answer questions about your services, collect information from potential customers, and handle multiple calls at the same time. No more busy signals during the spring rush when everyone wants their lawn done.
The moment each call ends, you receive an instant email notification with all the details. You see who called, what service they need, property details, their contact information, and their answers to your custom questions. You also get a full transcript of the conversation.
Types of Calls Ringlii Handles for Landscapers
Here are real examples of calls that landscaping businesses receive and how Ringlii handles them.
"I need a quote for weekly lawn maintenance"
Ringlii greets the caller professionally and uses your custom questions to collect the information you need. It asks about property size, what services they want, and their preferred schedule. You receive everything you need to follow up with a quote.
"Do you install paver patios?"
Because Ringlii is trained on your custom FAQ and answers, it can respond to common questions about your services. If you handle hardscaping, Ringlii confirms this and collects the caller information so you can follow up with details about the project.

Seasonal work often has deadlines. Ringlii captures the timeline, property size, and scope of work. The caller provides their information, and you have everything you need to schedule them into your rotation.

Why Phone Answering Services Matter for Landscapers
Landscaping is one of the noisiest trades. When you are operating a commercial mower, running a blower, or using a chainsaw, you cannot hear your phone ring. Even if you felt it vibrate, stopping equipment to answer a call is impractical and inefficient. Your crew is waiting, the customer is watching, and the work needs to get done—the same challenge that cleaning services and plumbers face when their hands are full on the job.
This creates a fundamental conflict for growing your business. Your marketing generates phone calls, but those calls come in when you cannot answer them. You invest in truck lettering, door hangers, Google ads, and yard signs. All of that effort is wasted if callers cannot reach a live person when they want to hire a landscaper.
The seasonal nature of landscaping makes this problem especially painful—much like how roofers see call spikes after storms. In spring, you might get more calls in a single week than you get all winter. That is exactly when you are busiest and least able to answer. Missing calls during peak season means missing the chance to fill your schedule for months of recurring revenue.
For solo landscapers and small crews, professional phone answering used to be out of reach. Large landscaping companies could afford office staff, but smaller operations had to choose between missing calls or constantly interrupting work. Ringlii changes that equation by providing professional phone answering at a price point that makes sense for landscaping businesses of all sizes.

What Landscaping Business Owners Say
“Spring was killing me. I would check my phone at the end of the day and see 10 missed calls. By the time I called back, half of them had already hired someone else. Now every call gets answered and I start each morning with a list of leads to follow up on.”
“The commercial leads were huge. Property managers call during the day when I am always on a job site. Before, I was missing those opportunities completely. Now I capture those leads and have landed three commercial maintenance contracts this year.”
