2 – Name The Gardening Business As The Originator Of This Paperwork

The Gardening Business that requires payment and has generated this document should be presented at the top of the invoice. Several spaces have been supplied to achieve this goal in a neat fashion. First, make sure the name of the Gardening Business concerned is presented where it says, “Company Name.” Use your editing software to delete this label then type in its place. The format is already set to be noticeable in this space. Next, identify yourself as a representative of the Gardening Business by supplying your name to the empty line “Name” The Gardening Company must also have an address where it can receive business correspondence. This can be a base of operation or a mailing address, but you must report the “Street Address,” “City, State, Country,” and “Zip Code” of your Gardening Business on this invoice. Use the blank lines under your name to solidify this information for your Gardening Client. Supply the number of the “Phone” line where the Gardening Client can reach you. Finally, the Gardening Business you represent should make sure the Client has a valid “E-mail” address he or she can use when discussing the gardening job or concerned invoice. The last line in this portion of the document has been reserved for this information.

3 – Document The Gardening Invoice Information And Client Identity

The gardening job performed for the Customer will need to be easily referenced in the future both for the convenience of the Customer as well as contributing to a good filing system for your books. Report the document number you use in your system for this invoice on the blank space labeled “Invoice #” This paperwork will also be referred to by “Date” if it is discussed in the future. Thus, record the official calendar date used for this invoice in your system on the empty line directly across from the invoice number you presented. Now, your Gardening Client will need to be solidified and attached to this document in the “Bill To” section. Fill in the Gardening Client “Name” on the first empty space. Make sure this is the legal name of the entity or individual to whom this bill will be sent. The Gardening Client should have provided you with his or her official address. Make sure to produce this information by furnishing the “Street Address” to the second line, the Gardening Client’s “City, State, Country” to the second line, and the “Zip Code” where this address is located to the third line in this section.

4 – Gardening Material Costs To The Client Should Be Itemized

The gardening job being focused on will need to be adequately defined for the Customer. Most of your Clientele will wish to see their charge itemized and in writing for their own purposes. Two tables have been included in the center of this page to neatly achieve this report. We will begin with the first table; “Material.”

List all the gardening materials used or provided to the Gardening Client for the job we are concerned with in the first column of the “Material” table. The next column requiring attention, “Quantity,” serves as an area to define how many units of product was needed for this gardening project’s completion. The cost of an individual item must be disclosed in the third column (under “Unit Cost”). In the Material table, you will have to present a total cost of the gardening materials you provided for this job. To do this, multiply the numbers you entered across the row they were entered on. Thus, if someone ordered a given quantity, multiply the “Quantity” they ordered by its “Unit Cost” then enter the resulting value in the “Amount” column. Finally, to complete reporting the materials being charged to the Gardening Client, add all the numbers provided in the “Amount” column then report it in the “Total Material” box.

5 – Calculate And Present The Gardening Work Requiring Labor

Now, the physical work done to complete this gardening job will also need to be properly documented for the benefit of the Customer. This requirement must be satisfied using the “Labor” table. Begin by giving some definition to the gardening work done in the first column. This can be a date or a project, but the Gardening Client must find this area crystal clear.  Next, you should fill in the total number of “Hours” the Gardener worked for this project in the second column.  Continue the report by documenting the “Hourly Rate” the Gardener earns when he or she worked for the Customer. This information should be placed in the third column of this table. Finally multiply the number of hours (2nd column) the Gardener worked by his or her hourly wage (3rd column) and deliver the result to the appropriate box in the “Amount” column.  Once you have completed this multiplication, add all the results to one sum then enter it in the last box of the “Amount” column.

6 – The Cost Of The Gardening Job Should Be Summarized

Now we will provide a vital courtesy to the Gardening Customer. In the last table of this page, present the sum of “Total Materials” and “Total Labor” in the “Subtotal” box. Input any taxes owed in the “Tax” box then add this number to your “Subtotal” value and place it in the “Total” box.

The next two statements are included so you may inform your Gardening Customer that a certain number of days will be allowed as a grace period when paying after which, it will be considered overdue. Simply place the number of days in the area provided in the first statement. Then, if any additional details need to be supplied to the Gardening Client, you may use the lines following “Comments Or Special Instructions” as a distinct area to present them.

1 – Access Then Download The Gardening Invoice Sheet

Invoice your Gardening Customers using the Excel Sheet Template. This template, specifically geared for billing gardening jobs, can be accessed through the link above. If you wish to view this file before downloading it, you can preview it using the image on this page then select the “MS Excel” button attached to access the file.

2 – Identify The Gardening Business

Your Gardening Business should be properly detailed at the top of the invoice. This will allow your Customers to instantly recognize the origin of this paperwork and assume its subject matter. Begin by using cell A1 to display your Gardening Company’s logo. Notice this cell and many others currently have text. Consider these labels a guide on where to put the information it requests. Upload your logo file to cell A1 to begin identifying your Gardening Company to the Client. Naturally, you will want the name of your Gardening Company to be associated with its logo, therefore, use cell A2 to make sure your Gardening Company’s legal name is associated with the logo. You will notice this cell currently contains “Company Name” in a large noticeable font. This aids in making sure this document is recognizable as originating from your office. Now, the name of the Gardener or the name of a representative of the Gardening Business who can act as a point of contact for the Recipient of this invoice should be documented in cell A3. 
Notice when the first two cells are combined with the next three (A4, A5, A6) will serve to give your Gardening Client enough information to mail a payment or a correspondence. To this end, use these three cells to give the Gardening Customer your business’ legal mailing address. Begin by entering the Gardening Business “Street Address” to cell A4 and continue down this column until you report the Gardening Business “Zip Code” in cell A6.  You will need to complete this report on the details required to contact the Gardening Business by inputting its “E-Mail” in cell A7 and the Gardening Business’ customer service or billing dept phone number in cell A8.

3 – Directly Address The Gardening Client

Cell A10 contains the bold label “Bill To” and acts as the header to the Recipient’s section of this paperwork. Do not remove these words, however, delete the contents of cell A11 then, document the name of the Invoice Recipient.   The three rows following the Invoice Recipient’s name (cells A12 through A14) provide a guide to input his or her billing address information in the appropriate cells.

4 – Document Basic Information Defining The Gardening Invoice

Every gardening invoice will need to convey (to the Invoice Recipient or Client) some details regarding the dollar amount owed. We can achieve this goal by giving a manifest of the gardening materials used for the job and breaking down the “Labor” charges using the two tables beginning on row 16. You will need to determine the billable items and time then report them in the appropriate table then provide some basic numbers. Parts of this table will engage in some necessary calculations on your behalf then, automatically present the totals where needed. The “Material” table will handle all the supplies that were used for the gardening assignment or ordered by the Gardening Customer. Begin by describing all such gardening items in the “Description” area of this table (column A). The Gardening Client will want a clear idea of how much he or she is paying for the materials used so, fill in the “Quantity” and “Unit Price” for the supplies or items necessary to complete the gardening job. As you work on this, the remaining cells of this table will supply the numbers needed to define the total cost of gardening materials for the Customer The table beginning on row 24 (“Labor”) will also have a “Description” column. Locate it, then define the gardening work performed for this job. This can be in the form of a time sheet or by listing the physical labor involved. The next two columns of this table “Hours” and “Hourly Rate” will each call for separate items supporting the Gardener’s work and the labor costs involved. For each row where you described the Gardener’s shifts or project number, report how long he or she worked and how much the Gardening Customer must pay for each of these hours. This will cause several dollar amounts to appear in the rest of this table. These will represent how much was earned during each shift and the total amount due for this work. The final table, located on row 33, will only require one piece of information; the “Tax” amount owed. Inform the Gardening Client of any taxes he or she owes for this job in cell H34.

5 – Clearly Impose Terms On This Payment

The final job you must perform to complete this paperwork will be to give the Gardening Client some standard payment instructions This is considered good practice by most businesses. The number of days the Gardening Client may take to pay this before accruing any lateness penalties or notices should replace the bracketed pound sign in cell A35. Give your Gardening Client any payment instructions and/or maintenance instructions considered necessary in cell A36 (after the phrase “Comments Or Special Instructions”
