What to put on a lawn care invoice

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 invoice number and the date
  • each service and each part on its own line, with quantity and rate
  • any discount, tax and deposit already paid
  • the total, and how and by when to pay

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

What each line on this invoice is for

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.

Lawn care invoice questions

Should I bill by the visit or by the month?

Either. Even with a monthly price, list the visits and their dates, so the customer sees what the month covered.

How do I handle a visit I skipped for rain?

Leave it off the invoice and say in the notes when you came instead. If you bill a flat month, tell the customer how skipped visits are handled when they sign up.

How do I show mulch and other materials?

By the unit you buy them in, such as cubic yards, with delivery and spreading named in the line.

How do I bill extras?

Each on its own line after the regular visits, so the customer sees what the cleanup or the edging added.

When do I send the invoice?

At the end of the month works well for regular service: you can list the visits you made.
