Text in the job. Your customer gets the quote.
Tallyring handles quotes and customer texts for small lawn care and landscaping companies.
You text the job to your office line. We write up the quote from your prices and send you the exact words. Reply OK and it goes to your customer from your company's own number.
There's no app to install. Everything happens by text, on the phone you already use.

How it works
-
You text the job
Text your office line the way you'd tell someone in your office: who it's for, where it is and what you're doing. The office line is a number we set up for your company.
-
We write the quote
AI drafts it from your price list, and for now a person at Tallyring checks every draft too. If something's missing, like which yard or how often, we text you and ask.
-
You OK the words
You get the exact text your customer will see. Reply OK with the code to send it, or text back what to change.
-
Your customer gets it
The text comes from your company's number and has your company's name in it. Their reply comes back to you.
After the quote
If a customer doesn't answer, we draft up to two follow-ups, and you OK each one. When they say yes, you'll know right away, and they get a booking confirmation in words you've approved. Once the work's done, the invoice goes by text too, with a link to pay.
What your office will and won't do
These rules are built into the system that sends the texts.
It will
- Use your prices. Every price comes from your price list or from you.
- Show you every text first. Your customers only get wording you've OK'd.
- Follow up twice at most on a quote, and only after you OK each one.
- Send your customers' replies straight to you.
- Stop texting anyone who asks, whether they reply STOP or just say so.
It won't
- Text anyone who didn't ask you for a quote and isn't already your customer.
- Send ads or text your whole list at once. Each customer only hears about their own job.
- Text customers before 8 AM or after 8 PM, Arizona time.
- Promise a date or a time before the customer says yes.
- Pretend to be you. Every text names your company.
The only texts that skip your OK are the short automatic replies when a customer texts STOP, START or HELP, or asks to stop in their own words.
For customers
Got a text from a company that uses Tallyring?
It came from the business you're dealing with. Tallyring runs their texting, and the texts come from their own number.
Why you got it
You asked that business for a quote and said texting was fine, or you texted them first, or you're already their customer and gave them your number for the work.
What they'll text you about
They only text about your own quote, booking, job and invoice. They don't send ads. Message frequency varies, usually 2 to 8 texts per job. Message and data rates may apply.
How to stop
Reply STOP, or say it your own way, like "please stop texting me." Spanish works too. The texts stop right away. If you replied STOP and change your mind later, reply START.
Getting help
Every text has the business's name in it, and your reply goes straight to them. Reply HELP to get their contact details. They're the ones to ask about your job or your information. If you write to us instead, we'll pass your message along to them.
The full details are in our SMS terms and privacy policy.
Run a lawn care or landscaping company?
Email us. We'll ask how you handle quotes now, and if Tallyring fits, we'll set up your office line.
hello@tallyring.comBefore your office line can text customers, the phone carriers have to approve it, which usually takes three to four weeks. We do the paperwork with you. Your part takes about ten minutes if you have your business's EIN letter from the IRS handy.
Current clients, carriers and partners can use the same address. Tallyring LLC is based in Tucson, Arizona. Hudson Reed runs it and answers business email himself.
