Landscaping Insurance Coverages to Consider
- General liability for covered third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.
- Workers’ compensation for employee injury exposures when required.
- Commercial auto for trucks, vans and other vehicles used in the business.
- Inland marine or equipment coverage for eligible tools and mobile equipment.
- Business property for eligible office, shop or storage property.
- Umbrella or excess liability where higher liability limits are needed.
Common Landscaping Exposures
Landscaping businesses may face property-damage claims, injuries to third parties, employee injuries, theft of tools, vehicle accidents and losses involving equipment used away from the business location. Tree work, irrigation installation and larger construction-related landscaping can create additional underwriting considerations.
Commercial Auto for Landscaping Businesses
Many landscapers rely on pickups, vans or trucks to move crews, tools and materials. A commercial auto policy may be appropriate when vehicles are owned or regularly used by the business. We can also discuss trailers and other related exposures based on the carrier and operation.
