What to include on a tree service invoice
- Invoice number and the date the job was completed
- Property address, so the customer can match it to the right job if they have multiple properties
- Line items matching the original estimate — no surprise charges at the end
- Clear payment terms: due date, accepted payment methods, late fee policy if any
- Your business name, contact info and, if applicable, license or insurance details
Which format to use
PDF is for sending an invoice as-is or attaching it to an email exactly the way it looks here. The Word file is for editing the text or branding directly, in Word, Google Docs, or Pages. Excel is for the line-item math: type in quantities and rates and the subtotal, tax, and total update automatically, instead of adding them up by hand.
Printable invoice vs. invoicing in ArboristDesk
A printable template is fine when invoices go out one at a time and get paid by check. It gets harder to keep track of once you're running several jobs a week and need to know which invoices are still outstanding. ArboristDesk's invoicing feature turns a completed job straight into an invoice with the same line items as the original estimate, sends it as a PDF, and follows up automatically on anything overdue — so nothing sits unpaid because it fell out of view. The Excel version totals this automatically as you type. ArboristDesk's invoicing feature does the same math and sends the invoice for you.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Excel invoice template calculate totals automatically?
Yes, the Excel version adds up line items, applies your tax rate, and shows a running total as you type. The PDF and Word versions are meant for printing or light editing rather than live math.
Skip the template. Invoice jobs automatically instead.
