The problem
The calls you can't take
You can't hear it ring
Saws, chippers and ear protection. Half the calls during a workday go unheard, and the homeowner moves on to the next number.
Storms bring a rush
After a storm, people with trees on fences, driveways and roofs call every company they can find. The first one to answer usually gets the work.
Estimates pile up
Removals, trimming and stump grinding all start with an estimate request. If those callers don't hear back, someone else does the job.
A sample call
A real tree service call, handled
Here's how Maria handles a typical call for a tree service business. The business (Big Oak Tree Service) and the caller are made up. The flow is what your customers get.
When she hangs up, the details go straight to the owner by text and email, like the summary at the top of this page.
What she asks
The questions that matter
We set Maria up with the questions your business needs. For tree service calls, that usually means:
- Name and the best number to call back
- The property address
- What they need: removal, trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup
- Where the tree is: near the house, a driveway, a fence or power lines
- Rough size of the tree, if they know it
- When they need it done

Built around your day
How it fits your work
Your crew spends the day in the field, not next to a phone. Forward the calls you miss to Maria and every caller gets answered, even when the saw is running.
In Florida, hurricane season runs from June through November, and the calls after a storm come all at once. Maria answers each one and sends you a summary, so you can see which jobs are urgent and which are estimates.
Every summary includes the address and what the caller described, so you can line up your estimate route for tomorrow before you're back at the shop.

FAQ
Tree service: questions owners ask
Can Maria take estimate requests?
Yes. Most tree service calls are estimates for removal, trimming or stump grinding. Maria gets the address and what the caller needs and sends it to you.
What about storm damage calls?
She answers, asks whether anyone is hurt and what's blocked, and sends you the details the moment the call ends. She doesn't dispatch a crew. You decide what's urgent.
What if someone mentions a downed power line?
We set Maria up to tell the caller to stay clear and contact their power company, and she still sends you their details so you can follow up.
Can I keep my business number?
Yes. You forward calls to Maria, all of them or just the ones you don't answer. Customers keep calling your usual number.
Can Maria schedule the estimate?
Not yet. She takes the details, you call back and set the time.
Will she quote prices?
No. Tree work depends on what you see on site, so she leaves pricing to you.
