Book a call

The first sunny Saturday. Forty people want a quote.

Penstock answers the spring rush, chases the quotes, reshuffles the rain days and brings last year’s customers back, so the season doesn’t run you. For landscaping and lawn care companies in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver.

A normal day in April.

Tick the ones that happened to you this season.

WHAT DO YOU MOSTLY DO?

The same day, with Penstock.

Same five moments. The rain was the only surprise.

  1. YOU TICKED THIS

    Rain all day. Eleven customers to reschedule, one text at a time.

    You tapped “rain day”. Every customer got a new date and a heads-up, the crew got the new route, and you finished your coffee.

    TEXTED TO HANNAH, AS YOU

    Hi Hannah, Sam from Greenway. Rain today, so we’ve moved your cleanup to Thursday morning. Shout if that doesn’t work.

  2. YOU TICKED THIS

    On the excavator when the phone rings. You can’t hear it anyway.

    Picked up on the second ring. A site visit booked for Thursday, and photos of the yard already in.

    Call answering
    TEXTED TO YOU

    New job: Karen, 18 Birch Rd. Patio and planting, about 400 sq ft. Photos attached. Site visit Thu 3 PM.

  3. YOU TICKED THIS

    Fourteen quotes out. You can’t remember which ones you followed up.

    Every quote got its own check-in, in your words, and each one stopped when they answered. Six booked by Friday.

    TEXTED TO ROSA, AS YOU

    Hi Rosa, it’s Sam from Greenway. Any questions on the patio quote? Spring dates are filling up, so I can hold the 22nd if you like.

  4. YOU TICKED THIS

    Three maintenance clients haven’t paid since March.

    Monthly invoices went out on the 1st with a pay link, and anyone unpaid by the 10th got a friendly nudge.

    Invoice follow-up
    TEXTED TO MARK, AS YOU

    Hi Mark, Sam from Greenway. April’s lawn care invoice is ready. Here’s the link if card is easier.

  5. YOU TICKED THIS

    Last year’s patio customers. Their stone needs sealing before winter.

    A fall note went out to every patio from the last two years. Seven booked a seal.

    Customer reactivation
    TEXTED TO HANNAH, AS YOU

    Hi Hannah, Sam from Greenway. Your patio’s heading into its first full winter. Want us to seal it and tidy the beds before the rain?

Same season. You ran it.

Book a call

The people, businesses and messages here are made up, to show the idea. Yours are written with you, in your words, and you approve them before anything goes out.

Your season, without the scramble.

Each part of the year gets its own messages, sent before you’d think of them.

  1. MARCH

    Last year’s customers asked back before the phones start ringing.

  2. APRIL – JUNE

    The rush answered, quoted and followed up, every call.

  3. RAIN DAYS

    One tap moves the day, and everyone hears about it.

  4. OCTOBER

    Fall cleanups and patio sealing offered to the right people.

  5. WINTER

    Next year’s design work booked while it’s quiet.

What it won’t do.

Honest limits, so nothing surprises you or your customers.

  • Won’t price the job from a photo

    Photos help you quote faster. The number still comes from you.

  • Won’t promise a date the weather won’t keep

    Bookings say weather permitting, and rain days get moved fast.

  • Won’t message strangers

    It only writes to your own customers, never a bought list.

  • Won’t argue about money

    Reminders stay friendly. If someone disputes a bill, it comes to you.

  • Won’t pretend to know

    When it isn’t sure, it says so, takes a message and tells you.

  • Won’t make you switch software

    It works with what you use now, even if that’s a calendar and a spreadsheet.

Everything else, it handles. Anything it shouldn’t, it hands to you.

  1. One call, ideally before the rush.

    Twenty minutes on how calls, quotes, crews and invoices work today. February is perfect, but any month works.

  2. First fixes live in under 48 hours.

    Usually the phones and quote follow-up first, so the rush lands somewhere. You approve every message.

  3. I keep it running.

    Every month: calls, quotes, bookings, and the next season set up before it arrives.

Questions, answered.

Can it handle the spring rush?

Yes. It answers every call at once, so forty calls on a sunny Saturday get forty answers, booked into the site-visit times you’ve set aside.

Can customers send photos of the yard?

Yes. It texts a link for photos and rough measurements, so you can price the simple jobs without driving out.

What happens on rain days?

You tell it the day’s a washout. Every affected customer gets a new date and a heads-up, and the crew gets the new plan.

Who gets the “asked back” messages?

Only your own customers from the last two years, in your words, and anyone can opt out. Never a bought list.

Do I have to switch software?

No. It works with your current setup, or a new system if you need one.

How much of my time does setup take?

About an hour, all in. A 20-minute call, a few logins, and a quick read of the messages before they go live.
