For arborists & tree surgeons
Storm calls answered while the chainsaw's still running.
You can't hear a phone over a saw, and storm work doesn't pause so you can take a call. An AI receptionist answers 24/7, captures what's come down and where, and texts you the job with the dangerous ones flagged.

Storms don't ring one at a time
When a southerly puts half a tree on someone's roof, every arborist in town gets rung at once. TradieCall answers every call and flags the dangerous ones 🚨 so you can work through them worst-first.
Chainsaws and phones don't mix
Ear muffs on, saw running, twenty metres up a trunk — you're not hearing that call, and climbing down for voicemail isn't a plan. The AI answers, and the job sheet is waiting when you're back on the ground.
Pruning season books out fast
Winter pruning, hedge reductions, stump grinding — planned work goes to whoever answers first and locks in a quote visit. On Pro plans the AI pencils visits into your real diary.
How it handles a tree-down call
A real example: storm damage close to power lines. Safety first, details second, and no prices it doesn't know.
Within a minute of hangup: name, number, address, the job and urgency — texted and emailed to you. See how it works →
Storm nights: when every phone in town rings at once
A decent southerly or the tail of an ex-tropical cyclone doesn't spread its damage out over the week. The calls land in one ugly burst — tree on the house, limb on the shed, macrocarpa across the driveway — right when you're out in the worst of it with the crew. TradieCall answers every one of those calls in your business name, asks what's come down and whether people, buildings or lines are at risk, and flags the genuinely dangerous ones so they reach you first.
When the weather clears, you open the dashboard to a stack of job sheets — name, number, address, what fell, how urgent — with the transcript and recording of every call if you need to check a detail. You triage worst-first instead of playing voicemail roulette at midnight. It's the same setup behind our after-hours answering service, built for exactly the nights the phone won't stop.
The quiet season is booking season
Outside storm season the work is planned: winter pruning, hedge reductions, stump grinding, section clears ahead of a build. Those callers are shopping around, and the tree company that answers first usually gets the quote visit. The AI captures the job, the access situation and rough tree size, and on Pro it checks your real diary and pencils quote visits into free slots — synced with Google Calendar, tentative until you confirm.
Consent questions come up constantly too: is the tree protected, does the council need to sign off before it comes down. The AI won't guess at district plan rules — it never invents answers — but it records the address and the question so you ring back informed. Plans start at $129 a month with a 7-day free trial and no lock-in; the full breakdown is on the pricing page. Run landscaping alongside tree work? The landscapers page covers that side.
