At minimum, a landscape invoice should contain the following elements:

• Your company’s contact information
• Your client’s contact information
• An invoice number
• Date the invoice was prepared
• A list of services or materials provided
• Subtotal, taxes, fees and the grand total
• Payment terms

To up your chances of a prompt payment, we also recommend you include:

• Your company’s logo for an added dose of professionalism 
• Detailed descriptions of items or services 
• Other documents or files included as attachments like the approved estimate and any change orders so you and your client are always on the same page(s).

When looking for a billing software that suits your needs, be sure to consider the following features:

• Online Payment Functionality: A landscape business billing software that also allows clients to conveniently pay online helps cut down on the time it takes for you to get paid. Offering payment methods like credit cards or bank transfers provides safe and secure options that are faster than waiting for a check to clear.
• Time & Expense Tracking: While your estimate should get you pretty close to understanding what resources a project will require, it’s important that your invoice will capture all time and expenses accrued along the way. Your landscape invoice app should come equipped with time and expense tracking tools that aren’t just simple for your team to use, but that allow you to track as accurately as possible.
• Accounting Integrations: The landscape company billing software you choose should integrate with your accounting software so you don’t have to enter financial data more than once. This also helps cut down on time preparing for tax season. Double win!
