What is the best invoicing app for arborists and tree services?
SMASH is built for arborists who need to invoice multi-component tree jobs — removal, pruning, stump grinding, green waste disposal, and emergency rates — all from a phone. Set your crew rate, service catalog, and tip fees once. Describe the job out loud and SMASH generates a GST-compliant invoice from your phone in under 60 seconds, ready to send to councils, homeowners, or insurance assessors.
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Complex jobs with many components
Removal, stump grind, chipping, green waste disposal — four line items per job, all to be typed manually.
Physically exhausting work
After a full day in the trees, the last thing you want is an hour at the laptop.
Quotes that change on the day
Job was bigger than expected. Quoting correctly and invoicing the actual work done are two different tasks.
Disposal fees variable per job
How much green waste? What's the dump fee? Calculated on site but forgotten by invoice time.
Council and body corporate paperwork
Council jobs need a GST-compliant tax invoice with ABN and all line items. That takes time to format correctly.
Emergency storm damage call-outs
After-hours, urgent rate, two crew, insurance paperwork — invoiced at midnight from a tired phone.

SMASH invoices
Council tree pruning — 3 hrs × 2 crew @ $85/hr = $510.00 + GST

""Emergency storm damage at the Mosman property. Two trees on the fence. Four hours, two crew, urgent rate. Debris removed to tip.""
