AI Answering Service for Tree Services
You can't answer a phone call 40 feet up a tree with a chainsaw. Trillet screens every caller for emergency storm damage vs routine work, captures property and tree details, and texts them your calendar link - so you never miss the high-value jobs that pay your bills.
The Old Way
Voicemail: Missed call from 206-555-0193
Result: Lost $5,000-$10,000 emergency storm damage job to competitor who answered first
The Trillet Way
Calendar: URGENT: Storm Damage - Oak Tree on Garage - Sarah M. - Today 3pm - Est. $6,500
Result: Emergency job captured with full tree and property details while you were 40 feet up
Your Job Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.
You don't need an AI to say 'leave a message.' You need one that knows which calls are $8,000 storm emergencies and which are $300 trimming quotes. Trillet follows your exact screening logic - triaging emergency storm damage, asking your questions, and only sending you jobs that are ready to book with full details captured.

What Tree Service Owners Are Saying
I was up a 60-foot oak when a storm damage emergency came through. Trillet captured the whole job - tree on garage, access details, urgency level - and flagged it URGENT. By the time I was safely down, I had a $7,200 removal booked. That one call paid for two years of Trillet.

Why 'Message Taking' Doesn't Work for Tree Services
Voicemail
Homeowners with trees on their houses don't leave voicemails. They call every tree service until someone answers. Storm damage jobs are winner-takes-all.
Result: Lost $5,000-$10,000 emergency jobs to competitors who answered first
Generic AI
They take a name and number. You call back 3 hours later from the truck - customer already hired the next tree service that captured their urgency immediately.
Result: Phone tag with customers who've moved on to competitors
Trillet
We screen for emergency vs routine, capture complete tree details and property access, flag storm damage as URGENT, and either book them immediately or notify you for same-day response.
Result: Never miss another $5K+ emergency job while you're climbing, cutting, or chipping

Common Questions from Tree Service Owners
An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens customers for emergency storm damage vs routine tree work, captures complete tree and property details, and helps them book service calls - without a human dispatcher. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full job screening protocol and flags high-value emergency work so you never miss the jobs that matter most.
Trillet follows a four-step screening process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new customer or existing customer. Second, it screens for emergency storm damage vs routine work. Third, it asks your custom job intake questions (tree size/species/location, structures involved, equipment access). Finally, emergency jobs are flagged as URGENT for immediate response, while routine jobs receive your calendar booking link. You receive a full summary with job details and estimated value after every call.
For routine tree work (trimming, removal, grinding), Trillet texts customers your calendar link directly during the call so they can book. For emergency storm damage, Trillet flags the job as URGENT and notifies you immediately for same-day response. You get complete job details either way - no phone tag required.
Trillet will politely explain that your tree service doesn't cover that area and end the call professionally. You'll still receive a summary so you know who called and what they needed.
Yes. Trillet screens for urgency at the beginning of each call. Emergency situations (trees on structures, hanging limbs, storm damage) are flagged as URGENT and routed for immediate response. Routine work (scheduled removal, trimming, stump grinding) goes through standard booking. You can customize how emergencies are handled.
Listen for yourself - we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation that matches the tone of your tree service business. Many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI.
That's exactly when Trillet is most valuable. The call gets answered without you climbing down, the customer gets screened for urgency and tree details, and you're notified immediately if it's high-value storm damage. You see the complete job context when you're safely on the ground - ensuring you never miss a $5,000+ emergency while working.
Yes. Our Pro plan includes integration with tree service management tools like Arborgold, SingleOps, and general field service software like Jobber and ServiceTitan. Contact our team to set this up for your business.
Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. One missed storm damage job costs $5,000-$10,000. One wasted Google LSA click costs $50-$200. Trillet pays for itself by preventing a single high-value miss. Compare that to traditional answering services at $200-400/month that don't even qualify leads.
Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected. We take customer confidentiality as seriously as you do.
