Landscaping Answering Service in Duluth, MN

Landscaping problems don't keep business hours. When storm cleanup or a yard that needs a crew this week happens at night or on a weekend, the customer calls until someone answers, and that company usually gets the job.

Older homes and newer ones both generate landscaping calls, from repairs to planned upgrades. Whatever the job, a Duluth caller wants a quick answer and a time someone can come out.

A front-desk employee in the Duluth, MN-WI metro area is paid a median $16.99 an hour (BLS, May 2025), less than the $18.27 U.S. median. Over a full-time year that comes to $35,350, and the employer still owes taxes and benefits on top.

To be fair to the hire: answering calls is only part of what a good office person does. It only compares the cost of keeping the phone covered. One full-time hire covers 40 of the week's 168 hours. Standard runs $297 a month ($3,564 a year) with 250 minutes included and $0.35 per extra minute.
