Landscaping Contractor Insurance

Landscaping submissions depend on services performed, machinery, vehicles, trailers, chemicals, tree work, subcontractors, and customer mix. The description should clearly separate routine maintenance from higher-hazard operations.

Operations this guide may include

  • Lawn care and grounds maintenance
  • Landscape design and installation
  • Irrigation service and installation
  • Tree trimming, storm cleanup, and related outdoor work

Questions that shape the conversation

Insurance markets evaluate the complete operation. These are examples of details that can materially affect the available path.

  1. What percentage of work is maintenance, installation, irrigation, or tree service?
  2. Are pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or controlled burns used?
  3. What vehicles, trailers, mowers, lifts, and mobile equipment are operated?
  4. Are work-at-height, crane, excavation, or municipal contracts involved?

Coverage topics to discuss

General liability

Customer-property, operational, and completed-work exposures.

Commercial auto

Trucks, trailers, drivers, and transport of crews and equipment.

Contractor equipment

Mowers, tools, machinery, and mobile equipment used away from the premises.

Pollution liability

Information worth preparing
