AI receptionist for Sydney landscapers & gardenersYou can't hear a phone over a mower or hedge trimmer, and maintenance customers expect a quick reply. KookaDesk answers your missed calls, emails and website enquiries within 60 seconds, 24/7, collects yard size, access and photos, and texts you quote or regular-visit requests to confirm.
This is our Sydney page, with Sydney suburbs and contacts. KookaDesk serves landscapers and gardeners right across Australia, in every time zone – see AI receptionist for landscapers and gardeners in Australia.
Cancel before day 7, no charge · Keep your own number · No lock-in · We set it all up for you
Most calls come in while you're using loud gear. By the time you check voicemail, the customer has booked someone else.
Gate width, slope, green waste and yard size make or break the price. Getting photos first saves wasted trips.
Fortnightly and monthly maintenance customers are worth chasing. A fast, organised first reply helps you win them.
Set up in about 48 hours. You don't change your number, your phone or how you work.
Set a short diversion code so calls you don't answer go to your KookaDesk line (how diversion works). We connect your email and website form too.
It says up front it's your AI assistant, asks your questions and only gives answers and prices you've approved.
It texts you a short summary with the customer's preferred times. Reply with a number to confirm – for example, Reply 1 for 2pm, 2 for 4pm. Once you confirm, the customer gets an SMS confirmation, and an email copy goes out for the record. No links to tap: just reply with a number. No calendar connection or software install needed – Google or Outlook sync is optional.
For digging jobs the assistant can remind customers that underground services should be located before work through Before You Dig Australia (byda.com.au, helpdesk 1100). Tree work near powerlines, large tree removal and anything needing council approval is flagged to you to assess, and it never tells customers whether they need a permit.
The first few lines of a typical call for a made-up business. The assistant always says it's an AI.
Hi, thanks for calling Demo Gardens Sydney. I'm Tom's AI assistant – he's out on a job. This call may be recorded. Are you after regular garden maintenance or a one-off job?
Regular mowing, maybe every two weeks.
Great. Roughly how big are the front and back lawns, and is there side access for a mower?
…the assistant takes the caller's name, mobile, suburb, access details and preferred times, then says: "I'll text the owner now, and you'll get an SMS to confirm the time shortly." The owner gets a summary and replies with a number to confirm (for example, Reply 1 for 2pm, 2 for 4pm). No links to tap: just reply with a number.
