Calso for gardeners and landscapers
Answers the phone when the mower's running.
Calso is an AI phone answerer for Australian gardeners and landscapers. When you can't hear the phone over a mower or a blower, the call goes to Calso instead of voicemail. It answers questions about your services and the suburbs you cover from your own website and setup interview, takes the job or quote request, and texts it to you straight away.

The calls gardeners and landscapers miss
- You can't hear a phone over a mower or a blower, and you can't answer it in gloves.
- Calls are regular mowing, hedges and green waste, plus quotes for bigger landscaping jobs.
- Spring is when everyone wants their garden done at once.
A missed call to your business

Quote request: Raj, 0491 572 549, Glen Waverley. Fortnightly mowing, front and back, medium block.
Written example of a typical call, not a recording
What Calso does on those calls
- Takes job and quote requests: name, number, suburb, size of the yard and what they need.
- Answers questions about your services, regular-service options and the suburbs you cover.
- Texts you each one straight away.
- Says it's an AI assistant if anyone asks. It never pretends to be a person.
What it won't do
- It only quotes prices you've set. Anything that needs a look at the yard becomes a quote request.
- It doesn't add jobs to your schedule or connect to job software.
- It doesn't record calls, and it never guesses: what it doesn't know becomes a message for you.
How your business gets set up
- 01
Calso reads what you've published
Sign up with your business name. Calso reads your website and Google listing for your hours, services, prices and policies.
- 02
A short setup interview
Typed, or by voice if you'd rather. It covers what your website doesn't say, and how you want messages and requests taken.
- 03
Forward the calls you miss
You get your Calso number and choose a plan. Then set your phone to forward the calls you don't answer. Customers keep ringing your usual number.
Setup usually takes under 15 minutes, because Calso reads your website and Google listing first. Nothing is charged until you choose a plan. To undo it, turn call forwarding off.

The visit figure counts Google visits to business pages in the Calso Directory from Saturday 24 to Monday 26 October 2026, set against each business's listed hours in its own state's time. It was a weekend-heavy sample, so read it as a sign of when people look businesses up, not a rule for every week. Each of those visits was someone who might have called.

Your directory listing needs no account. Calso, the phone answerer, is a separate paid service.

Questions gardeners and landscapers ask
Yes, if your website or setup interview lists them. If someone is outside your area, it can tell them so instead of taking a job you can't do.
If you have set prices, yes. Otherwise it takes the details (suburb, size of the yard, how often) so you can quote.
No. It takes the request and texts it to you. It doesn't connect to job or scheduling software.
Yes. You forward the calls you miss to Calso. Customers ring the same number as always, and you can turn forwarding off any time.
