Tips

FAQs

Should design fees be separate from labour?

Yes — list design as a fixed fee (e.g., $350-1,500 depending on scope) separately from execution. This is standard practice in the industry.

How do I bill recurring garden maintenance?

Monthly fixed-fee for predictable work (lawn mowing, weeding). Hourly for ad-hoc visits. Set up a recurring invoice if you bill the same client month after month.

Do landscapers need an ABN?

Yes — without it your clients must withhold 47% PAYG. Getting an ABN is free at abr.gov.au.

What payment terms work for landscaping?

Residential: 25% deposit + balance on completion. Commercial: Net 14 or Net 30 with progress claims for multi-week jobs.

A practical guide to landscaping billing

Use the template as a starting layout, then replace its example information with the actual agreed work. The details below help you decide what to enter and what to check before sending.

Agree what this invoice covers

Distinguish a one-off installation from recurring garden maintenance. For maintenance, list the service dates and tasks included per visit. For projects, identify plants, materials, delivery and installation so changes in quantities can be checked against the quote.

Give the payer enough context

Include the property address, maintenance period or project stage, and visit dates. Check the legal billing name and delivery contact against the accepted work. Keep the maintenance agreement or accepted design scope, completed visits and approved extra work available to resolve questions. An invoice records the charge; it does not replace the underlying approval or supporting documents.

Worked landscaping invoice example

Two completed visits are billed for this period, with approved materials and removal charged separately. Missed or postponed visits should be handled according to the agreement, not copied automatically from the previous period.

Avoid this billing mistake

Sending a recurring charge after a weather cancellation without checking the service agreement can confuse the client. Confirm what was completed and whether a visit was rescheduled, credited or still chargeable.

Follow up on the right record

Group recurring visits into a clearly dated billing period. Before repeating an invoice, check seasonal changes, approved extras and the current service price. Keep installation milestones separate from ongoing maintenance where they have different terms.

Before you send

  • Match the line items and quantities to the accepted scope and approved changes.
  • Check the invoice number, issue date, explicit due date and the property address, maintenance period or project stage, and visit dates.
  • Apply only the tax treatment relevant to your business and location; check current local requirements if unsure.
  • Keep earlier billing separate from actual payments. Verify the outstanding amount and payment instructions.
