The AI receptionist for sprinkler and irrigation contractors
An AI receptionist for irrigation contractors answers while you're digging up a broken lateral or chasing a bad valve. It picks up every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, gets the zone and the problem, books repairs and spring startups, and texts you a summary of every call.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a sprinkler company actually gets
Irrigation calls stack up in spring and fall and nobody wants to leave a voicemail about water running down the street. These are the ones you used to miss.
Broken head, water everywhere
"There's a geyser in my front yard." It tells them where the shutoff usually is from your notes, gets the address and texts you right away.
Spring startups and fall winterizations
It books startups and blowouts by zone count and area into your route days, so the season fills itself.
Zone won't turn on
A homeowner's back zone is dead. It asks which zones, the controller brand and whether anything was dug recently, then books a service call.
New system and drip quotes
A new build needs a full system. It gets lot size, beds, water source and timeline and books an estimate.
Why irrigation contractors put it on the phone
Stay in the trench
Muddy hands and a phone don't mix. The receptionist answers every call on the first ring while you finish the repair.
Problem details up front
Zones, controller, leak location and recent digging come in a written summary, so you bring the right parts.
Route-day booking
Startups, winterizations and service calls get booked by your rules, grouped the way you run your routes.
English and Spanish
Homeowners, HOAs and crews get answered in English or Spanish, by call or text, 24/7.
Commercial accounts put through
Set rules so HOA, property manager and landscape company accounts reach you directly while new homeowners get booked.
Same number
Your number gets ported in, so the number on the truck and the controller sticker keeps working.

What the alternatives cost

|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |
