As a former owner of a small lawn and landscape business, I know how hard it can be to answer every call!
Many small lawn services do not have the luxury of having a person dedicated to answering the business phone.
If you've been shocked by the pricing of 3rd party phone answering services, we've got the perfect cost-effective solution for you!
Grasshopper Phone Systems For Lawn & Landscape Companies
What if could solve your missed call issue for less than $50 per month? Wouldn't that be awesome?!?
Well, good news, now you can!
Let me tell you about Grasshopper phone systems for lawn and landscape companies.

Set Up A Greeting Message When People Call Instead Of Ringing!
You can see how this works by calling us at 1-888-446-7761 because we use Grasshopper at iGoPro Lawn Supply.
We get 20-40 calls per day in the spring and summer. Although we'd love to be able to answer each call and assist each customer, we simply cannot afford to do this and keep our pricing competitive.
Grassshopper turned out to be the perfect solution for us. Now, when people call us they hear a message we recorded to tell them all of the need to know information instead of hearing the phone ring and eventually going to voicemail.
After our greeting message ends, the person has an opportunity to leave us a voicemail which Grasshopper will convert to text and email to us along with attaching a recording of their voicemail.
It saves us a ton of time and money and allows us to better serve our customers.
How To Use Grasshopper In Your Lawn & Landscape Business
Our recommendation on how to set up Grasshopper for your lawn and landscape business is to also take advantage of the greeting message.
By setting a greeting message you can tell the person calling what you want them to know instead of hearing the phone ring.
Our advice for this message is use this template as a guide:
"Hi, and thank you for calling 'Insert Your Business Name Here.' We are a small local business and all of our teammembers are currently working on one of our customers' properties. If you have not checked out our website we have a ton of information about our services, our service area, client reviews, FAQs, and more contact options, please visit 'Say Your Website.com.' Please also feel free to try the extension of the person you were trying to reach or leave us a voicemail when prompted in just a second. We look forward to speaking with you very soon. Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business."
Do you agree that would be a much better solution than having them wait for your traditional voicemail or paying an answering service $200-$600+ per week?
We think it is a no brainer!
Grasshopper plans start at $31 per month. After taxes and telecommunication fees, the total cost is still under $50 per month with unlimited use.
We'll talk about Grasshopper's other awesome features in an upcoming blog post like their automated text messaging service. That's right. After someone calls and you don't answer, Grasshopper can immediately send them a text that you can customize!
