Landscaping and Lawn Care Invoice Template

Lawn and landscape work is billed by the visit for upkeep and by the unit for materials: mulch by the yard, sod by the square foot, plants by the each. This lawn care invoice template handles both.

Billing mowing, cleanups and installs

Lawn care is usually billed per visit or as a flat monthly price for the season. Installation work such as planting, mulch or hardscape is billed as labor plus materials, often by the cubic yard, square foot or plant.

For seasonal contracts, one monthly invoice listing each service date is easier for the client to approve than an invoice per mow.

Write down in the contract what happens when a visit is skipped for rain, drought or dormant grass. Per-visit clients pay only for visits made; a flat monthly price usually stays the same, with the skipped dates noted on the invoice.

Landscaping invoice essentials

  • Service dates. Each mowing or maintenance visit in the month.
  • Property address. Common for property managers and associations, who are billed elsewhere.
  • Materials by unit. Cubic yards, square feet or plant counts.
  • Disposal or dump fees. Charged separately for cleanups and removals.
  • Plant warranty. How long new plantings are guaranteed, if you offer it.

Making the monthly lawn care bill

  1. One line for the month's mowing. Visits as the quantity, dates in the detail.
  2. Add one-off work. A spring cleanup, aeration or leaf removal, each on its own line.
  3. Bill materials in their unit. Six yards of mulch, five shrubs: the client can count them in the beds.
  4. Show disposal. Yard waste hauled away, as a separate charge.
  5. Note skipped visits. Rain or drought days in the notes, so the client sees the schedule.

Every line carries tax at 8%, the Franklin County, Ohio rate: Ohio taxes lawn care and landscaping once a business sells $5,000 or more of it in a year. Other states may tax only plants and mulch, or nothing at all.

Payment terms: Net 15

Homeowners' associations and property managers, like the client in the sample, often pay through a board or an accounts payable process, which is why Net 15 is used. Individual homeowners often pay per visit.

Bids for new beds, receipts for cash mows

New beds or a patio are easier to sell from a written price: the landscaping estimate template lists the plants, mulch and labor. Customers who pay cash for a mow can get a landscaping receipt each time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice a single lawn mowing visit?
One line for the mow with the date and property in the detail, plus any extras such as edging or bagging clippings. Use due on receipt for one-off customers, or add the visit to a monthly invoice for regular ones.
Should I charge for a visit skipped because of rain?
On per-visit billing, no: invoice only the visits made and list their dates. On a flat monthly contract, follow what the contract says, and note any skipped dates so the client sees the schedule.
How do I bill a seasonal lawn care contract?
Use one line for the month with the visit count as the quantity, or one flat monthly line with the season in the detail. Add extra work such as cleanups or aeration as separate lines.
Can I use this invoice for snow removal?
Yes. Change the line descriptions to plowing or salting visits with the dates in the detail. The layout works for any per-visit service.
