🌿 Secure Your Landscaping Business with Workers' Insurance
🛡 General Liability Insurance for Landscapers
Covers third-party injuries, property damage, and accidental mishaps while you’re on a client’s property.
- Example: If a lawnmower throws a rock and damages a window, GL covers the repair and any legal defense.
- Why it’s critical: Landscaping involves powerful tools, vehicles, and physical labor around valuable property—just one incident can cost thousands.
Required by most commercial clients and municipalities before you can start work.
🧑🌾 Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Protects your crew if they get hurt on the job, covering medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
- Example: A landscaper suffers heatstroke during a summer project—Workers’ Comp covers treatment and recovery time.
- Compliance: Required by law in most states, even for small crews or part-time workers. Staying covered keeps you compliant and avoids heavy fines or lawsuits.
🚛 Commercial Auto Insurance
Personal auto policies won’t cover your work trucks, trailers, or vans used for business.
- Covers: Vehicles, tools in transit, crew transportation, and roadside incidents.
- Example: A loaded trailer jackknifes on the highway—commercial auto covers the repairs and potential liability.
🛠 Tools & Equipment Insurance
Covers your portable gear—mowers, trimmers, blowers, chainsaws—against theft, loss, or vandalism.
- Why landscapers need it: Equipment is often left on job sites or transported daily, making it highly vulnerable.
- Example: If a trailer with $10,000 in landscaping tools is stolen overnight, this policy helps you replace everything fast.
🚚 Inland Marine Insurance
Protects landscaping equipment and materials while in transit or stored off-site.
- Example: A storm damages sod pallets being stored before installation—coverage kicks in.
Essential for mobile operations and high-value materials.
🪵 Property Insurance
For landscaping businesses with a physical location—offices, warehouses, or greenhouses.
- Covers: Buildings, storage sheds, office furniture, and business inventory from fire, theft, or natural disaster.
- Keeps your operations running even after a major loss.
🌩 Pollution Liability Insurance
Landscaping often involves fertilizers, pesticides, or chemicals that can cause accidental environmental damage.
- Example: Overspray contaminates a neighbor’s pond—this policy covers cleanup and damages.
Increasingly important for commercial and municipal landscaping contracts.
🌱 Commercial Umbrella Insurance
Adds extra liability coverage beyond your existing policies.
- Why it matters: If a lawsuit exceeds your general liability limits, umbrella coverage picks up the difference—protecting your assets and contracts.
🔒 Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
Combines general liability and property coverage in one affordable package, often with added protections for:
- Business interruption (weather delays, disasters)
- Equipment breakdown
- On-site accidents
📜 Surety Bonds (Often Required)
Many municipalities and commercial clients require bonded landscapers to ensure contract completion and payment of subcontractors.
- Builds trust and credibility, especially for government and HOA projects.
🌾 Seasonal & Part-Time Employee Coverage
Landscaping workforces often change with the seasons—make sure coverage extends to temporary or part-time hires without leaving costly gaps.
🧮 Tailored Coverage for Your Operation
No two landscaping businesses are alike. Whether you specialize in residential maintenance, large-scale commercial projects, irrigation systems, or hardscaping, your insurance package should match your specific risks.
💡 Pro tip: Review your policies annually to ensure coverage keeps pace with your equipment value, crew size, and project scope

Priority Concerns & SOLUTIONS
✅ “I use part-time helpers — do I really need Workers’ Comp?”
Yes. Most states require Workers’ Comp for any employee, regardless of hours worked — including seasonal or cash-paid helpers.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
Your part-time crew member gets injured. They file a claim. The state investigates and fines you. You pay medical bills and penalties out of pocket.
🛡️ Solution:
We structure legal, affordable Workers’ Comp plans that protect your crew and shield you from lawsuits and audits — even for small or seasonal teams.
Your policies evolve with your business. You scale smart, stay lean, and grow protected.
✅ “The city wants a bond for a landscaping contract — what do I need?”
Many municipalities require surety bonds for licensed landscapers to bid or complete government projects.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
You win the bid but can’t post bond. You lose the contract — and possibly your good standing with the city.
🛡️ Solution:
We issue landscape contractor bonds same-day in most states. You get a downloadable bond and proof of coverage in hours — so you stay competitive and compliant.
✅ “My trailer and equipment got stolen — can I claim that on my auto insurance?”
No. Auto insurance doesn’t cover tools, trailers, or landscape gear unless they’re explicitly endorsed.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
You lose $18,000 worth of gear overnight — and your auto policy denies the claim. You’re left replacing everything out of pocket.
🛡️ Solution:
We include inland marine and tools coverage in your plan — covering your trailers, blowers, trimmers, mowers, and all mobile gear even while parked or in transit.
We create lean, efficient policies for micro-teams, family businesses, and yard care specialists that still give you full-spectrum protection.
✅ “I just mow lawns — do I really need insurance?”
Yes. Property damage, personal injury, and slip-and-fall claims happen every day in the field — even with simple maintenance jobs.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
You scratch a client’s car with a weed eater. They sue for paint repair and emotional distress. You’re out $10,000+ if uninsured.
🛡️ Solution:
We start you with a lean General Liability policy that protects you from common field claims, satisfies client contract requirements, and keeps your business above board.
With coverage in place, you work smarter, not just harder.
✅ “Insurance is expensive — and I’ve never had a claim.”
It may feel like an expense… until the day it saves your business. A single claim can wipe out a year’s revenue.
💣 Here’s the Risk:
Your crew leaves a hose across a walkway. Someone trips, breaks their arm, and sues. The payout is $42,000. With no policy? It’s coming from your bank account.
🛡️ Solution:
We treat insurance as financial armor. You only pay for what you need — and every dollar buys peace of mind, credibility, and compliance.
🔒 Pro Tip: Let us review your contracts, unique needs, and recommend the right level.
