Free Gardener Invoice Template (Australia)

Quick answer

If you’re an Australian gardener and you need a professional invoice fast, it should include your business details (including ABN), an invoice number, dates, a clear description of the work (mowing, hedging, weeding, green-waste removal), GST (if registered), and payment terms.

You can do it manually with the template below, or do it faster with Free Invoice App (Starter plan includes 7 sends/month, no credit card).

What needs to be on a gardener’s tax invoice in Australia?

If you’re registered for GST, a tax invoice should generally include:

• Words “Tax Invoice” clearly displayed
• Your business name and ABN
• The invoice date and a unique invoice number
• A brief description of what you supplied (mowing, pruning, green-waste removal)
• The total amount payable
• GST amount (or that the total includes GST)

If you’re not registered for GST, don’t charge GST and don’t label it as a tax invoice.

How to invoice a regular lawn-mowing round

Most gardeners bill the same clients on a fortnightly or monthly cycle. Rather than rebuilding each invoice, set up a recurring invoice so the same job and price goes out automatically on schedule - you just confirm it’s done.

Features gardeners tend to use most

• Recurring invoices (Pro): perfect for fortnightly mowing rounds and maintenance contracts.
• Scheduled sending (Pro): set invoices to go out at the end of the round.
• Add expenses: track fuel, mulch and fertiliser so your profit is clearer.
• Mobile PDFs: create and email an invoice from the ute before you leave the property.

Conclusion: send your gardening invoice today

Copy/paste the template above if you just need something quick. If you want the faster version (PDFs, email sending, recurring rounds, tracking), use Free Invoice App.
