Free lawn care estimate template

Show the price per visit with the date of each visit. Edging, cleanup and other extras go on their own lines.

• your business name, phone and email
• your customer's name and the address of the job
• an estimate number, the date and how long the price holds
• each service and each part you plan to supply on its own line, with quantity and rate
• any discount, tax and deposit to start
• the total, and what the price leaves out

What an estimate has to show can differ by state, so check what applies where you work. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.

Lawn care is regular visits plus seasonal jobs. The invoice shows the visits with their dates, and each extra on its own line.

Work by the hour

A cleanup, with the hours in the quantity column and what it covered.

A visit at a flat price

Mowing and edging, with the size of the lot in the description.

Materials by the unit

Mulch by the cubic yard, with delivery and spreading named.

A one-time job

Bed edging or a similar job, on its own line.

In the notes, write the dates of the visits and anything you skipped, with the reason, such as rain or a locked gate.

Where lawn care paperwork goes wrong: a monthly price with no visits listed. Show each visit, and the month explains itself.
