Why Do Landscaping Businesses Need Insurance?
While you’re out there making the world a greener place, the unexpected can strike at any time — that’s why business insurance for landscaping is crucial. With this safety net in place, you can continue your work with peace of mind, knowing you’re protected against the landscaping industry’s most common claims.

General liability insurance makes sure your clients are reimbursed.
If you hit a pipeline while digging a flower bed
General liability insurance helps cover potential legal expenses.
If an employee sprains an ankle after tripping over a hose
Workers compensation coverage aids with medical costs.
If your old faithful shovel is stolen
Tools & equipment coverage replaces stolen equipment—good as new.

How Much Does Landscaping Insurance Cost?

Recommended Insurance Coverage for Landscaping Businesses
Our landscaping insurance includes required general liability coverage for client contracts. We suggest adding coverage for worker injury, employee dishonesty, and theft or loss of supplies. Review excluded activities before purchasing.
Included
General Liability Coverage
General liability insurance for landscapers shields you from claims related to bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury that may occur during their work. For instance, if a client or passerby is injured by a falling tree branch while you’re trimming trees or if a rock from your lawnmower accidentally shatters a nearby window, general liability insurance can help cover medical expenses and legal costs associated with the incident. However, it’s important to note that this coverage does not extend to injuries sustained by you or your employees—it only covers your clients and third parties.
Additional Insureds
An additional insured is an individual or entity added to your policy to extend coverage to them in specific situations. Clients who hire landscaping contractors often require this to protect themselves from liability if something goes wrong on the job.
For example, if a landscaping company is hired by a property management firm to maintain the grounds of a commercial building, the property management firm may request to be added as an additional insured. Similarly, a homeowner’s association (HOA) might ask to be included when contracting a landscaper for neighborhood maintenance. This ensures that if any accidents, injuries, or property damage occur during the landscaping work, both the landscaping company and the client are covered under the policy.
Add-Ons
Tools and Equipment Coverage
Tools and equipment coverage, also known as inland marine insurance, protects your essential gear—from hedge trimmers to leaf blowers—against theft, damage, and mysterious mishaps. So, whether it’s a runaway rototiller or pocketed power tools, rest easy knowing your prized landscaping gadgets are covered.
Landscaping Surety Bonds
Surety bonds are crucial for landscaping companies, as they protect your operations and build client trust. This bond involves three main parties: the landscaping contractor (you!), the client, and the surety company, which guarantees you will meet the contract’s obligations.
While surety bonds are not mandatory everywhere, they are required to legally perform landscaping work in many jurisdictions and on public construction projects.
With a surety bond in place, clients can invest with assurance. You can purchase your bond in your customer dashboard after you’ve purchased your landscaping Insurance policy — just a few clicks and you’re covered.
Types of bonds we offer:
- Business Service Bonds
- License & Permit Bonds
- Contractor Bonds
- Custom Pesticide Applicator Bonds
Cyber Liability Coverage
Gathering emails for digital marketing? Housing client addresses online? If you use digital means to conduct any part of your landscaping business, this coverage can help you with:
- Data Breach Notification Costs
- Customer Data Loss
- Ransomware and Cyber Extortion
- Legal Fees
- Business Interruption Fees
Workers Compensation Coverage
Ever thought about what happens if someone on your team suddenly twists an ankle on the job? Workers compensation for landscaping businesses is an insurance policy that covers medical expenses and lost wages if your employees get injured while making outdoor spaces pristine.
Commercial Auto Coverage (Coming Soon!)
Imagine your trusty work truck getting sidelined by a fender bender—ouch! That’s where commercial auto coverage for landscaping services comes in. It covers everything from accidents to repairs, keeping your operation rolling smoothly. Whether it’s the ride hauling your fertilizer or the van transporting your team, this insurance ensures you’re back on the road in no time.
Get notified when Commercial Auto is available in your state!
