Where AI helps a landscaper first

Landscapers get the most from AI by automating quote requests, route and weather messages, and seasonal outreach to existing clients. A landscaping business runs on recurring accounts and a few busy seasons, so the gains come from answering fast in spring and keeping regular clients booked. Westward builds these for landscaping companies, with a person approving what goes out.
