What to put on a gardener invoice
Common lines on a gardener or landscaper's invoice include:
- Labour — hours × rate
- Plants, soil, mulch and materials
- Green waste removal / tip fees
- Equipment or machinery hire
- Regular maintenance visit
- Deposit for a landscaping project
Plus the essentials every Australian invoice needs: your business name and ABN, the client's details, a unique invoice number and dates, the total (with 10% GST if you're registered), and your payment details. See how to write an invoice and the tax invoice requirements.
A tip for gardeners
For regular maintenance clients, issue the same invoice each visit — the tool auto-increments the number. On bigger landscaping jobs, take a deposit for materials and record it against the final invoice.
GST and your ABN
GST registration depends on your turnover and the work you do. For most businesses, the ATO registration threshold is $75,000 in current or projected annual GST turnover; ride-sourcing has a different rule. If you are GST-registered and the supply is taxable, show GST and use “Tax Invoice”. If you are not registered, use “Invoice” and do not charge GST. See our GST guide and ABN guide.
Worked gardener invoice example
Example: garden maintenance visit. The figures are illustrative, not recommended rates. Copy the descriptions into the Australian invoice generator and replace the quantities and prices with your own.
| Line item | Qty | Rate before GST | Amount before GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lawn mowing and edging | 1 | $95.00 | $95.00 |
| Green waste removal | 1 | $40.00 | $40.00 |
| Subtotal | $135.00 | ||
| GST at 10%, if registered and supply is taxable | $13.50 | ||
| Total including GST | $148.50 | ||
Make this useful for your client: Record the property address and visit date. Distinguish recurring maintenance from landscaping or materials so a property manager can approve the right job. If you are not registered for GST, use “Invoice”, set GST to zero, and remove the GST line. Check the ATO tax invoice requirements before sending a tax invoice.
