This week on Trades Talk, Justin White sits down with Scott Hutcheon, founder of Hey Flora, to explore how AI is reshaping the landscape industry. From field crews to business owners, Scott shares how Hey Flora serves as a full operating system, not just a chatbot, designed specifically for the challenges of trades companies.
They dive into what makes landscaping so complex, why traditional tech adoption has been slow, and how AI-powered workflows can transform field communication, training, reporting, and even customer proposals. Scott reveals how property-level “intelligence layers” are being built through voice, photo, and video input—and why early adopters will pull ahead.
Hey Flora offers bilingual, voice-first AI agents to support field crews and streamline operations
Property-specific “graphs” compile notes, photos, and chat history to power proactive reminders
Flora generates client-facing proposals and reports from daily crew inputs automatically
Flora Docs and Vibe Scaping tools speed up design-build timelines and elevate sales
LEAF framework ensures AI outputs meet OSHA and industry standards for safety and compliance
Future tools may include AI safety glasses, digital twins, and procurement via simple chat
AI won’t replace leaders, but those who adopt it early will outpace those who don’t. If you're not building AI into your workflows, you're already falling behind.
