You’re a tree service professional. You’re up a tree, running a chipper, or driving between jobs. Your phone rings — and you can’t answer. That caller? They’re already dialing your competitor.
Set up in under 5 minutes. No technical skills required.
Sign up at Bland AI, grab your API key, and paste it into ArbreCRM. Takes under 2 minutes.
Tell the AI your services, service area, and preferred language. Customize the greeting or use our default.
ArbreCRM provisions a local phone number (514, 450, etc.) dedicated to your company.
Forward unanswered calls from your cell to your AI number. The AI only picks up when you can’t.
The AI greets callers, asks what they need, collects their info, and creates a lead in your CRM — automatically.
Owner gets an email notification with the call summary. Follow up within minutes, not hours.
Built specifically for tree service and arborist companies.
When you’re up a tree, driving, or off the clock, your AI receptionist picks up. Every call gets answered — nights, weekends, and holidays included.
Powered by advanced voice AI, the receptionist holds a real conversation — not a rigid phone tree. Callers feel like they’re talking to a real person.
Serves Quebec and all of Canada. The AI auto-detects the caller’s language and responds in English or French.
Every call is parsed and a new lead is created in your CRM with the caller’s name, phone, address, service needed, and urgency level.
Every call is recorded, transcribed, and summarized. Review the conversation word-for-word or skim the AI summary.
The AI is trained to be efficient — collect info, answer basic questions, and wrap up quickly so callers don’t lose patience.
The AI is trained to say "we offer free on-site estimates" instead of quoting prices. Protects your margins and avoids lowball expectations.
Each company uses their own Bland AI account. You control your billing, usage, and data. No per-minute markup from ArbreCRM.
See all calls in one place: who called, when, how long, what they needed, and whether a lead was created. Filter by date, status, or service type.
Jobber, Arborgold, SingleOps, Service Autopilot — none of them offer a built-in AI receptionist. With other software, you’d need to pay for a separate answering service and manually enter leads. ArbreCRM does it all in one place.

The AI receptionist costs ~$25/month in voice minutes.
If it recovers just one $800 tree removal per month, that’s a 3,200% return on investment.
"I was losing 5—6 calls a week while on jobs. The AI picked them all up on day one. Three of those turned into $3,000+ removal jobs."

ArbreCRM does not charge extra for the AI receptionist feature. You pay Bland AI directly for voice minutes — typically $0.07—$0.12/minute depending on your plan. A typical tree service company spends $15—$40/month.
The AI uses a natural human-like voice. Most callers assume they’re speaking to a real receptionist. You can customize the greeting to match your brand.
If you enable bilingual mode, the AI detects the language and responds accordingly. It handles both English and French fluently.
The AI creates a lead in your CRM with all the caller’s info. You then review and schedule the job. This keeps you in control of your schedule and pricing.
Use the AI as overflow — it only answers when calls go unanswered. Set your phone to forward to the AI number after 4 rings. Your human receptionist handles calls during business hours, the AI covers everything else.
Call data is stored in your own ArbreCRM account. Your Bland AI API key is stored encrypted and never exposed to the browser. You can delete call logs at any time.
Yes. While ArbreCRM is designed for tree service and arborist companies, the AI receptionist works for any service business that takes phone leads.
No. As of 2026, no other tree service or arborist CRM offers a built-in AI phone receptionist. Other platforms require you to use a separate third-party answering service like Ruby or Smith.ai, which costs $200—$500/month and doesn’t integrate with your job pipeline. ArbreCRM’s AI receptionist is built directly into the CRM — calls become leads automatically.
