The backyard reno goes to whoever rings back first. Usually not you.
You're in a trench with an excavator running. She's ringing three landscapers off the map and booking whoever picks up. Cushy answers in under 60 seconds and puts the site visit in your calendar.
What it looks like on a Tuesday
This is the whole thing. No quote, no price, no promises. It finds out what the job is and gets you on site.
What a slow reply costs on a backyard build
Set to typical numbers for your trade. Change them to yours.
Cushy costs $11,880 a year. You'd need about 5 extra jobs a year to cover it.
We assume half the enquiries you're slow on would have gone elsewhere anyway, and a 30% margin on the rest. Directional, not a forecast. The pricing page runs the same maths →
“My jobs are too custom to quote over a text.”
Agreed, and it does not try to. It never gives a price and it never commits you to a scope.
What it does is find out the three things that decide whether a job is worth your Thursday: what the work is, whereabouts, and when they want it done. Then it books the site visit. You still quote the way you always have, standing in the backyard.
Weighing it up against paying someone to answer the phone? We compare the two honestly here.
August to November is your whole year
Spring is when the enquiries land and it is also when you are flat out on the tools, which is exactly why they get missed. The week you are least able to answer the phone is the week the phone rings most.
A system that replies at 4pm on a Tuesday in October is worth more than one that replies in June.
What landscaping businesses ask
No, and that is deliberate. It never gives a price and never commits you to a scope. It finds out what the work is, whereabouts it is and when they want it done, then books the site visit so you can quote the way you always have.
You give us the suburbs you work in during setup. Anything outside them gets a polite reply telling them so, rather than booking you a two hour round trip for a job you were never going to take.
It will acknowledge the attachment, capture the detail and flag it to you rather than trying to read the drawings. Plans are a person's job.
Yes. The conversation is the same shape: what the work is, where, and when. It captures a contact name and a site address either way.
Cushy covers up to 50 enquiries a month at $990. Above that it is $1,690. Most landscaping businesses sit under the cap even in October.
Before you book anything
One price, two tiers, and the maths on whether it pays for itself.
Have a look →The five days from first call to live, and the fifteen minutes it needs from you.
Have a look →Suburbs, seasonality, and why a Melbourne spring is its own problem.
Have a look →Be the one who answered first.
Twenty minutes on a call. We'll time how long your enquiries actually sit, show you what we'd build, and you'll know by the end whether it's worth doing.
$990 a month. No contract. Miss the minute and the month is free.
