AI invoicing tools for landscapers and gardeners in the UK

Gardeners invoice lots of small, repeat visits, and landscapers invoice fewer, larger stage payments. Batch invoicing for regular customers and card payment on the day are what save the most time.

Prices were re-checked on each provider's own page; the date is next to each one. Rules and figures from GOV.UK are linked where they're used.

Batch and recurring invoices

Invoice regular customers monthly for all visits, or set up a recurring invoice. ServiceM8 lists recurring jobs on all plans, and Jobber lists automatic payments for recurring work.

Payment on the day

For one-off cuts and tidies, send a card payment link before you leave.

VAT

Many gardening businesses stay below the £90,000 threshold. Track your rolling total with the VAT threshold checker.

Questions

Free options?

ServiceM8 has a free plan (1 user, 30 jobs a month), Zoho Books and Tide have free plans. Checked 15 October 2026.

Do I need to register as a waste carrier?

If you transport waste in England, yes. It's usually free if you only carry waste you produce yourself, otherwise £191.02 (GOV.UK).

Are these prices in pounds?

Not all. Where a provider only publishes US dollar prices we show dollars, so check the price in pounds at checkout.

Do you get paid if I sign up?
