“Before, I’d forget to invoice jobs because I had so much to do. I was spread too thin… Jobber has paid for itself over and over again just in that regard. I don’t ever leave money on the table anymore.”
How to create a tree service invoice
You can write an invoice in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets. Word and Docs templates are easy to edit but leave the math to you. Excel and Sheets add up totals, but you’ll need to build and format the sheet yourself.
Our free tree service invoice generator handles both the layout and the math. Fill in your details, add your line items, and download a PDF.
Whichever tool you pick, follow these steps to provide all the details your client needs and ensure you get paid on time:
- List each tree separately. Note the species, rough height, and location, like “silver maple, back fence, about 45 ft.”
- Break out equipment. Create unique line items for crane, bucket truck, lift, or stump grinder time.
- Include disposal. Say whether you chipped and hauled the wood away or left the rounds on site.
- Explain risk and complexity. If the tree hung over a roof or sat near power lines, say so in the description to explain how the job risk affected pricing.
- Mark emergency work. Bill storm calls and after-hours work at your emergency rate, with the date and time clearly stated as proof.
- Credit the deposit. Subtract any deposit or progress payment, leaving only the accurate balance due.
- Send it the same day. Invoice before you leave the driveway or within 48 hours, while the job is fresh for you and your client. Make sure to include your payment terms and methods.

What should be included in a tree service invoice?
A tree service invoice covers the same basics as any invoice, plus a few details specific to tree work. Here’s what to include on an invoice for tree care:
- Business details: Your business name, logo, phone number, email, and address.
- Client details: Your client’s name, service address, and contact info.
- Invoice number: A unique invoice number so you and your client can track every bill.
- Invoice date and due date: The date you sent the invoice and the date payment is due.
- Itemized services: Each job on its own line, like removal, crown reduction, deadwooding, cabling and bracing, or an arborist assessment.
- Labor: Crew hours and hourly rate. Use a calculator to work out your labor costs before you price the job.
- Materials: Cabling hardware, mulch, or anything else you supplied.
- Subtotal, tax, and discounts: The pre-tax total, sales tax where it applies, and any discounts.
- Total due: The final amount after deposits or progress payments.
- Payment terms: Due date, late fees, payment terms, and accepted payment methods.
- Thank-you message: A short thank-you note telling the client you appreciate their business, which helps you earn repeat work and referrals.
If you find you’re getting lots of client questions about job details, you can add these tree-specific fields:
- Tree count and location: The number of trees you worked on and where they stand, like “two spruces, north property line.”
- Species: The type of tree, which helps explain wood weight and difficulty.
- Height and trunk diameter: Height plus diameter at breast height (DBH), the trunk width measured at about chest height.
- Equipment: Crane, bucket truck, lift, or stump grinder, with an hourly rate or a flat charge. Make sure to include the operator’s time.
- Disposal and dump fees: Chipping, haul-away, and dump fees, or a note that wood stayed on site.
- Permit number: The permit number and fee if your city requires one for removal.
- Certification or insurance details: Your arborist certification or insurance info, if the client asks for it.
Deposits and progress payments on multi-day removals
Big removals tie up your crew and equipment for days. Collect a deposit when the client approves the quote, then send progress invoices at set milestones, like after takedown and after stump grinding and cleanup.
Each invoice should list the full job total, what’s been paid, and the balance due.

Our free generator is faster because it formats the invoice and does the math for you. To skip manual invoices altogether, use field service invoicing software that creates invoices from your completed jobs. -
A tree service invoice lists your business and client details, an invoice number, the date, and an itemized list of the work. It ends with the subtotal, tax, any deposit credit, the balance due, and payment terms. See the sample tree removal invoice below as a starting point.
-
The generator works well for a one-off invoice. To quote, schedule, and bill every tree job in one place, follow these five steps in Jobber:
1. Add your client and their property address.
2. Send a quote with your tree line items and collect a deposit when the client approves it.
3. Schedule the job and assign your crew.
4. Turn the completed job into an invoice, with the deposit already credited.
5. Send the invoice by text or email so your client can pay online. -
An invoice is the itemized request for payment you send after the work. A bill is the same request from your client’s side: the amount they owe you. It’s the same document, but the business and the client will each call it something different.
-
You can email a PDF, print it and hand it over on site, or mail it. With Jobber, you can also send invoices by text or email with a link to pay online. Clients can pay by card, and in the U.S. and Canada, your crew can take payment on site with Tap to Pay.
-
Send your tree service invoice within 48 hours of finishing the job, while the work is fresh in your client’s mind. The sooner you send an invoice, the sooner you get paid.
For large removals, collect a deposit before work starts. On multi-day jobs, send milestone invoices as you finish each phase so you’re not waiting until the end to get paid. -
Ask clients to pay within two weeks, and set terms of no more than net 30. Shorter terms help you improve cash flow so you can cover payroll, fuel, and equipment.
For big-ticket removals, you can also offer financing on your quotes. Your client pays over time, and you get paid in full. -
Both use the same core fields: business and client details, itemized work, totals, and payment terms. Commercial clients often need more. Add a purchase order (PO) number, list multiple trees or sites separately, and attach certificates of insurance when the client asks.
-
Tree service invoicing software creates, sends, and tracks invoices for your tree care business. It connects invoicing to the rest of your work, so you can:
