How Much Does Tree Service Insurance Cost?
Starting at just $31 a month, we offer tree service business insurance coverage that doesn’t break the bank and comes through for you when needed. Here’s what could impact your final cost:
- Size of Your Business: Got a lot of green to manage? Higher premiums.
- Location: Your rates can vary based on where you’re planted and local risks.
- Claims History: Had claims before? Expect those premiums to go up.
- Coverage Limits: Need higher limits? That’ll add to the cost.
- Additional Coverages: Extras like equipment insurance or workers’ comp will raise your premium.
Save when you choose annual!
Why juggle monthly payments when you can take care of it all at once? Save 12% by paying upfront for the year, and kick back with the peace of mind that your tree service insurance is all set.
What Does Tree Trimming Insurance Cover?
Our tree trimming insurance covers everything from ground-level trimming accidents to equipment damage. While our policy doesn’t extend to trimming from above, it’s been crafted with input from real tree service pros to ensure your business is protected where it counts.
Included
General Liability Coverage
Property damage and third-party bodily injury claims are the most common in the tree service industry. General liability insurance for tree service businesses cover all of these scenarios and more. For instance, if a client or passerby is injured by a falling tree branch while you’re trimming, 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 insureds refers to an individual or entity added to your policy for extended coverage in specific situations. Clients or organizations hiring tree service professionals often require this to shield themselves from potential liability if something goes wrong during the job.
For instance, when a property owner hires a tree service company to remove a hazardous tree, they may request to be added as an additional insured to ensure protection against property damage or injury. Similarly, a city might ask to be included when contracting tree services to trim branches near roads or public spaces, providing coverage in case the work leads to an accident or damage to municipal property. This arrangement protects the tree service provider and the client if any unexpected issues arise.
Add-Ons
Tools and Equipment Coverage
Tool and equipment coverage, also known as inland marine insurance, protects your essential gear—from tree pruners to pole saws—against theft, damage, and mysterious mishaps. So, whether it’s a runaway rototiller or pocketed power tools, rest easy knowing your prized tree trimming gadgets are covered.
Cyber Liability Coverage
Gathering emails for digital marketing? Housing client addresses online? If you use digital means to conduct any part of your tree-trimming business, Cyber Liability coverage can help you with:
- Data Breach Notification Costs
- Customer Data Loss
- Ransomware and Cyber Extortion
- Legal Fees
- Business Interruption Fees
Workers Compensation Coverage (Coming Soon!)
Ever thought about what happens if your best employee suddenly twists an ankle on the job? Workers compensation for tree service businesses is an insurance policy that covers medical expenses and lost wages if your employees get injured while trimming away.
Commercial Auto Coverage (Coming Soon!)
Imagine your trusty work truck getting sidelined by a fender bender—ouch! That’s where commercial auto coverage for tree service businesses comes in. It covers everything from accidents to repairs, keeping your operation rolling smoothly.

Questions About Tree Service Insurance
Is my tree service insurance policy effective immediately?
Yes. As it should be!
With Insurance Canopy, your tree service insurance policy can be effective immediately upon purchase. You’ll receive instant coverage confirmation and your Certificate of Insurance (COI) as soon as you complete the online application and payment—allowing you to get back to work without skipping a beat.
Our insurance is designed for ground-based tree trimming operations only.
Can I cancel my tree service policy at any time?
You can cancel your tree service business insurance with Insurance Canopy anytime.
While your plan offers flexibility to cancel, please note there is no money-back guarantee on months you have already paid for. At Insurance Canopy, once you’re covered, you’re covered—our policies are 100% non-refundable. That means, in general, once your policy starts, you can’t cancel it for a refund. However, there are a few rare exceptions.
The one major exception is if one of our compliance officers decides your business doesn’t meet our policy standards within three business days of purchase. In that case, it’s like your policy never existed, and you’ll get a full refund.
How do I file a tree service claim?
Filing claims with Insurance Canopy is easy! Here’s the fastest route to success:
- 🖥️ Log in to your dashboard
- 🧐 Find “Manage Policies”
- 📂 Click on “File a Claim” and share your info
Once you’re done, a trusty claims adjuster will swoop in to assist you. They’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure the claims process goes smoothly. In the meantime, if you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out.
Note: If you file a claim after canceling your insurance, you won’t be covered unless your policy is active when the incident occurs. Insurance only offers protection while your policy is active, so make sure you have continuous coverage to stay protected! Our support team is here to help any time. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out.
How do I renew my tree service insurance policy?
Insurance for tree trimmers doesn’t get easier than this. Our EZ-Renew feature automatically refreshes your policy annually, ensuring that your coverage won’t miss a beat. This removes the stress of a claim occurring while your policy isn’t active, which could leave you unprotected.
And don’t worry — we’ll email you a reminder before your policy refreshes, that way you always know when you’ll be billed. If you wish to opt out of EZ-Renew but still wish to continue your coverage, you only need to complete a new application when your policy is up. If your coverage needs to change, you can also adjust your policy by contacting our support team.
Our team is always ready to help answer your questions. Smile included.
