For landscaping and lawn care contractors

You're behind a mower. We'll text them back.

Engines are loud and gloves are on. Retain Bridge texts every missed caller back in seconds, so spring inquiries and design-build estimates don't slip away while your crew is working.

How it works for landscapers

  1. A call goes unanswered. Your business number rings as usual; if nobody picks up, the call forwards to us.
  2. The caller gets a text in seconds, automatically, from a separate local texting number.
  3. You get an alert with the job details and any voicemail transcript.
  4. You call them back. We never book or schedule on your behalf.

Example first text: "Hi, this is Greenline Landscaping. Sorry we missed you, the crew is out on a job. What are you looking to get done? Reply with the address and a quick description."

The spring rush is short

Most of the year's new customers call in a few busy weeks. If a homeowner hears nothing, they call the next name on the list. A text in seconds holds their spot until you can call back at the end of the day.

You can't hear the phone

Mowers, blowers and skid steers drown out a ringtone. You get an alert with what the caller needs, so you can sort quick mowing requests from bigger patio or planting jobs before you call.

Design-build estimates take time

A patio, retaining wall or full yard plan can sit for weeks while the homeowner thinks it over. Pro checks in on day 3, 7 and 14 and stops the moment they reply.

Reviews win the neighbors

Landscaping work is visible from the street, and neighbors look you up. One thank-you text with your Google review link after the job makes it easy for happy customers to say so.

Which plan fits

Text-Back ($129/mo, no setup fee) if you mainly need every missed caller to hear back. Pro ($297/mo) if you send estimates every week and want follow-ups and review texts. Done-For-You ($597/mo, waitlist) adds Google Business Profile care; inquiry answering and estimate scheduling are coming soon. See all plans.

Good to know

You keep your business number. Missed calls forward to us, and texts come from a separate local texting number we provide. Setup in a day; texting goes live after carrier approval, usually about 14 days; missed-call alerts start right away.

Texting follows carrier rules: registered business texting, only people who contacted you, STOP honored right away, and messages sent between 9 AM and 8 PM. See our SMS Terms.

Common questions

Does it work for seasonal landscaping businesses?

Yes. Plans are month to month, so you can run it through your busy season. You keep your business number the whole time.

Can I tell mowing requests from bigger projects?

Each alert includes what the caller wrote back, so you can see whether it's routine lawn care or a patio, wall or planting estimate before you call.

Will Retain Bridge schedule visits for me?

No. On Text-Back and Pro you call the customer back yourself. Inquiry answering and estimate scheduling on Done-For-You are coming soon.

How long until texting is live?

Setup takes a day. Texting goes live after carrier approval, usually about 14 days, and missed-call alerts start right away.
