24/7 Call Answering for tree services
Never miss a customer call or booking request. Our AI receptionist handles calls professionally for tree services, books appointments instantly, and captures every lead 24/7.
Why arborists and tree service companies are switching to AI answering
Running a tree service means you're on the job site, not at a desk. When you're 40 feet up in a bucket truck or running a chainsaw, you can't answer the phone. But that's exactly when homeowners are calling about the branch that just fell in their yard or the tree that's leaning toward their roof.
The economics don't work for traditional solutions. A full-time office person costs $35,000-45,000 per year. Answering services charge per minute and just take messages. Neither captures the urgency of tree work, where storm damage calls need immediate response and a hesitant customer might call three companies before choosing one.
AI answering agents change the equation. When someone calls about an emergency removal, the AI asks about tree size, location, and hazards. It captures photos if the caller can text them. It books the estimate into your calendar and confirms the appointment. The caller gets helped immediately instead of leaving a voicemail.
For tree services, after-hours calls are where the money is. A storm rolls through at 6 PM and suddenly twenty homeowners need emergency tree removal. The companies that answer those calls get the work. The ones that go to voicemail wake up to see competitors already on the job.
Storm season separates the businesses that grow from the ones that struggle. When call volume spikes 500% after severe weather, you need every call answered. AI doesn't get overwhelmed. It handles the surge, qualifies the emergencies, and fills your schedule with high-value jobs.
This isn't about replacing your expertise or giving tree care advice. The AI captures job details and books estimates. You show up knowing the tree species, approximate size, access challenges, and what the customer is worried about.
Tree crews miss most calls while on job sites operating equipment or climbing.
Call volume spikes 500% after storms. AI handles the surge without missing leads.

We were losing emergency jobs because we couldn't answer the phone while running chainsaws. After that big storm last spring, the AI handled 47 calls in one day while my crew was out working. We booked 12 emergency removals we would have missed completely. That one day paid for a full year of service.
