What is an AI answering service?

You're a Gardener and this AI could change your business FOREVER

You've heard of AI doing amazing things, but you didn't think it could mean your business could utilise it to make more money and make your life easier? Well here's how.

You're behind the mower, trimming a hedge, busy doing a great job, but your phone keeps going all day. Calls that could be a new client. Someone needing a quote. You don't answer because the strimmer's running, and they call another gardener. That missing job is what we stop. Poppy has access to your availability and will answer calls, book in people wanting quotes, and deal with all your calls all day long. Leaving you to get on with the job in peace.

Think of it this way. Poppy talks just like a human would, she understands your business, and then she gets to work 24/7. No sick days. No huge costs. In fact you'll make more money, lots more, just by bringing Poppy into your business. More on that below.

Hear Poppy in action

Listen to Poppy deal with a call and this is just a tiny part of what she can do.

A real call, unedited. Dave Thompson rings Davies Decorators to book a quote. Watch how Poppy handles it from "hello" to "goodbye".

Poppy
Thanks for calling Davies Decorators. My name's Poppy. Just a heads up, I'm an AI receptionist, but talk to me like you would a human. So how can I help you today?
Dave
Hiya, yeah. I'm looking to get a couple of rooms painted. Um, can someone come and give me a quote?
Poppy
Of course. Whereabouts are you based?
Dave
In the Sevenoaks area.
Poppy
Great. And what rooms are we looking at?
Dave
It'll be the lounge and the hallway, just the walls and the ceiling.
Poppy
Got it. Mark's got a couple of slots available for a quote visit. Thursday at ten AM or Friday at ten AM. Which works better for you?
Dave
Can we go with Friday ten AM?
Poppy
Perfect. Can I grab your name, mobile number, and the full address, please?
Dave
Okay my name is Dave Thompson. Mobile number is 07700900123. And the address, 14 Oak Lane, Sevenoaks, TN13 2AB
Poppy
Thanks Dave. Just to confirm, you're booked in with Mark for Friday at ten AM. He'll send you a confirmation text shortly. Anything else I can help you with?
Dave
No, that's great. Cheers.
Poppy
Thanks Dave, speak soon.
Dave
Bye.
Poppy
Goodbye.
The maths on that call

One call. £200 to £15,000+.

A one-off tidy is £200 to £400. Fortnightly maintenance, £1,500 to £2,500 a year, every year. A new patio runs £1,400 to £5,500. Fencing, £800 to £3,000. A full garden redesign starts at £5,000 and climbs from there. The call you just heard could be any of these.

If you don't answer
£0
They book the quote with the next gardener on Google. Whether it's a £200 tidy or a £10,000 redesign, it's their job now. All you have is a missed call.
vs
If Poppy answers
£200–£15,000
Quote booked. Whether it's a tidy, a patio, fencing, or a full redesign, you turn up Thursday and win the work. Plus the maintenance afterwards.

One garden redesign pays for Poppy for five years. One maintenance contract pays for it twice over. Miss two big quote enquiries a month and you've burned £20,000+ in lost work, before you even count the lifetime value of the customers you never met.

Tuesday, 4:47pm

Behind the mower. Phone in your pocket.

You can't expect to be cutting a hedge or pushing a strimmer and effectively manage quote enquiries and customer follow-ups at the same time. So Poppy answers the call whilst you finish the work and earn the money.

The problem

Every gardener knows this nightmare.

You're trying to focus on the job at hand and your phone is ringing all day long. You can't expect to effectively manage new quote enquiries and deal with existing customers and manage the admin on top of the work.

Emergencies you'll never know about

Customer needs lawn cut before the weekend BBQ. Storm brought a fence down. Garden makeover quote enquiry comes in at 6pm. Industry data: nearly 4 in 5 callers hang up before voicemail kicks in. Every one of those is a £100+ job gone to the next gardener on Google.

Hands in the soil, phone ringing

You can't take a phone call when you're behind the mower or trimming a hedge with a strimmer in your hands. The phone rings, you can't answer. Phone goes to voicemail. Job goes to the next gardener.

Same questions, twenty times a day

"How much for a lawn cut?" "Can you do regular maintenance?" "Do you do tree work?" "Are you BALI registered?" Same questions, same answers, all day long. Each one stops you actually doing the work.

What Poppy does for gardeners

Poppy - built to make your life easier.

Built around how gardeners actually work. You stay on the job. Poppy handles the rest.

Quotes accurate prices, every time

Tell Poppy your typical rates for lawn cuts, hedge trimming, regular maintenance rounds, garden makeovers, decking, fencing, day rates. She quotes them on every call. No more "I'll have to check and call you back."

Books site visits straight in

Lawn cuts, hedge trims, garden makeovers, regular maintenance rounds, fencing jobs. Poppy checks your diary and books visits whilst the customer's still on the call. Sends confirmation by text. No follow-ups needed.

Briefs you between jobs

Pull up at the next garden, check your phone. Poppy's already sent you the summary, postcode, garden size, scope and any photos the customer texted in. You're up to speed before you knock.

Knows your patch, knows your prices

On your 15-minute setup call we capture everything Poppy needs to know about your business - your specialities (maintenance, landscaping, decking, fencing, tree work), service areas, day rates and the kinds of jobs you take on. Then we build her bespoke for your business and she's answering your phone within 48 hours.

How it works

From signup to first call. Ten minutes flat.

You're already losing jobs to voicemail. Don't lose another week setting up complicated software.

1

Drop in your website

Pop in your website URL or Google Business Profile. Poppy reads it and learns your services, prices, areas covered and registration numbers automatically. No website? We'll build you one for £99.

2

Set your priority rules

Tell Poppy what counts as urgent (storm damage, weekend deadlines, fallen trees), your rates for the main jobs, and how to reach you when you're behind the mower. Test her with a fake call to make sure she sounds right.

3

Forward your calls

Forward your business number to Poppy when you're busy or out-of-hours. Get every call summary by text and email the moment the customer hangs up.

The real impact

Using Poppy will give you less admin and more money banked - It's a no brainer.

20 calls a day. Roughly 4 minutes each. That's 80 minutes you spend on the phone instead of in the garden, every single working day. Here's what that costs you over a year, and what Poppy gives back.

80mins
A day on the phone

20 calls multiplied by 4 minutes average. The phone tax on every single working day, every year.

7weeks
Of your year, handed back

Poppy handles 90% of your call workload. Totalled up, that's seven full working weeks back in the garden, or back at home with the family.

£10k+
In jobs you'd otherwise miss

Just two missed jobs a week recovered, at £100+ ticket value each. Easily pays for Poppy several times over.

The shift in plain English: You stop trying to be two people. You go back to being one thing, the gardener who does the work. The phone keeps ringing. Poppy keeps answering. You keep working, keep earning, keep your evenings.

Pricing

Poppy pays for itself, the maths is simple.

A handful of recovered jobs a month and Poppy's paid for itself many times over. Cancel anytime, no contracts.

Which one's right for you?

Solo gardener or running a team? Here's the easy answer.

Two paths, depending on whether you're flying solo or running a landscaping firm. We've done the thinking so you can pick in 10 seconds.

Working solo

Just you, your mower, and the phone.

You're a jobbing gardener. Regular maintenance rounds, the odd hedge cut, occasional landscaping work. Most weeks you handle 8 to 15 jobs and another batch of quote enquiries that ring whilst you're behind the mower.

  • Calls forward straight to your mobile, no team to route around
  • Calendly or Google Calendar sync so site visits go straight in your diary
  • End-of-day text summary so you can plan tomorrow's work over a brew
  • Spam filter that stops insurance robocalls and lead-gen pests dead
We'd suggest
Pro · £179/month
750 minutes covers a busy month for one gardener, and you need the diary integration plus live transfers for the urgent weekend-deadline jobs.
Start Pro free trial
Running a team

Multiple gardens, multiple vans, one phone.

You're running a landscaping firm. Maintenance rounds, landscaping projects, fencing crews, maybe tree surgeons. Three or four jobs running at once, plus a queue of quotes you can't get to. The office phone never stops and your time disappears managing it.

  • Multi-team routing: maintenance calls to the rounds team, new quotes to you
  • Custom training on each team member's specialities, day rates and patches
  • Zapier link into your job management software (Tradify, ServiceM8, Powered Now and more)
  • Dedicated onboarding to map your full team and active sites in week one
We'd suggest
Business · From £349/month
Every multi-team landscaping firm's setup is a bit different. We onboard you personally, configure Poppy for your team and set up your priority routing together. Book a 15-minute chat to see if it's right for you.

Somewhere in between? One mate helping you out, occasional subbie, picking up the odd big job? Start on Starter at £79/month with 250 minutes. Upgrade any time, no contracts. The 7-day trial doesn't even need a card.

Gardener questions

The honest answers.

Everything gardeners actually want to know before trying Poppy.

Will Poppy actually understand gardening terminology?
Yes. Poppy understands the trade: lawn maintenance, hedge trimming, pruning, mulching, topsoil, decking, block paving, fencing, tree surgery, regular maintenance rounds, the lot. She also knows the brands and bodies customers will mention: BALI, APL, Stihl, Honda, Husqvarna, Hayter. If she ever doesn't know something specific to your firm, you can teach her in 30 seconds in the dashboard.
Can Poppy handle urgent calls and out-of-hours enquiries?
That's exactly what she's built for. You set the rules for what counts as urgent (storm damage, fallen trees, weekend-deadline jobs, regular customer in distress) and Poppy listens for those signals on every call. She'll either transfer the call live to your mobile or text you immediately, depending on what you set up.
Will Poppy quote prices accurately?
Only what you tell her to quote. You set your rates for lawn cuts, hedge trims, regular maintenance, garden makeovers, decking and fencing, day rates, the lot. She'll never make up a price. If a customer asks something you haven't priced, she'll say "I'll need to come and price it up properly. When's a good time for someone to come and have a look?"
What happens if I'm halfway through a job and Poppy transfers a call to me?
You decide what gets transferred. Most gardeners set Poppy to transfer only urgent calls (storm damage, fallen trees, weekend deadlines) and let her book or message everything else. You can also set "Do not disturb" hours when nothing transfers. Even urgent calls get logged for callback.
Can Poppy take payments or deposits?
Not directly. For security reasons we don't take payment details over the phone. But Poppy can text the caller a Stripe payment link mid-call so they can sort the deposit themselves while she's still on the line with them.
What about existing customers calling about an active job?
Poppy can recognise repeat callers, names and phone numbers. Tag your active project customers in the dashboard and Poppy treats them differently: warmer greeting, faster routing, snags or progress questions get logged or passed straight to the right foreman. They feel looked after even when you're on another site.
What if I don't have a website yet?
No problem. We can build you a clean one-page gardener website for just £99 (it'd cost £399 if you weren't a Poppy customer). Includes hosting at £9/month so it stays online, plus your services, contact details, areas covered, project gallery and a proper enquiry form. Takes us 48 hours to ship. See website options →
How quickly can I cancel if I don't like it?
No notice period, no exit fees, no contracts. Cancel from your dashboard whenever you want and you won't be charged again. The 7-day free trial doesn't even need a card up front.

Stop juggling phone calls. Start gardening and earning more.
