What the phone looks like for a Reading landscaping company
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a landscaping company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Garden work is seasonal, so a missed call in March is a job that goes to whoever answered that afternoon.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading landscaping companies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with landscaping companies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
What happens in spring?
The first warm weekend produces more calls than the previous two months combined, and almost none of them get answered because everybody is out working.
Can it handle maintenance rounds?
Yes. It takes the address and the frequency and books it in, which is the recurring revenue most landscapers under collect.
Will it quote for a patio?
No. It takes the dimensions and books the visit, because pricing groundwork over the phone is how landscapers lose money.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
