What belongs on a landscaping invoice
Four things that decide whether a landscaping invoice gets paid or gets a phone call.
Waste removal is a line, not an overhead. Skip hire and tip fees are real money with real receipts, and they are the first thing a customer forgets was part of the job.
Weather delays cost you and not the customer, and an invoice is not where to recover them. What the invoice can do is state the days worked, which makes a longer job self-explanatory.
Plants and hard materials should be separated. A customer who wants to reduce the price will nearly always reduce the planting, and that is a much easier conversation when it is one line.
Where you have guaranteed planting for a season, put the guarantee on the invoice. It is a selling point and it is the document they will still have when something fails to take.
Say what access was available. A rear garden reached only through a house is a different job from one with a side gate, and it is the reason a wheelbarrow job took two days. Written on the invoice it explains the hours; said afterwards it sounds like an excuse.
Break out anything that has to be maintained. A customer buying a lawn is also buying mowing, and one buying a pond is buying a pump they did not know about. Naming it on the invoice is where that conversation is least awkward and most useful.
The lines in the generator above are real work at plausible quantities, and deliberately carry no prices. A price is a local fact about a local market, and a made-up one would be worse than none.
