General Liability
Bought by 95% of business owners like you
General liability insurance covers a wide range of landscaping accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by project owners, individual clients and licensing agencies. Liability insurance for landscaping companies includes contractors’ E&O, or professional liability coverage, which can help cover costs in a business disagreement.
general liability can help you pay for:
Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Contractors’ E&O
Bought by 80% of business owners like you
Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of planting a species that negatively affects local wildlife, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself or redo the job.
professional liability can help you pay for:
Professional negligence (actual or alleged)
Legal defense costs
Legal judgments
Commercial Auto
For business owners who own or drive vehicles
Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage. Personal auto insurance usually won’t provide coverage if your work truck gets stuck in mud and needs a tow to get out.
commercial auto can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Collision repairs
Rental reimbursement
Workers' Compensation
For business owners who hire employees
Workers’ compensation insurance can help you and your employees after a workplace accident. Most states require it as soon as you hire your first employee, and you might need coverage before you can get your landscaper license. It can help pay for medical bills and lost wages after an accident.
workers compensation can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Lost wages
Employer liability
Tools & Equipment
Protection for your gear and equipment
Tools and equipment coverage makes sure your gear is protected wherever you keep it — in your vehicle, in a trailer or at a job site. If you don’t own or lease property and regularly take expensive gear to a job site, tools & equipment insurance offers protection against damage or theft. This coverage is available as an add-on to our general liability insurance.

Commercial Property
For business owners who own or rent physical spaces
Commercial property insurance can help protect your commercial landscaping equipment, inventory and your building if you own it. If you own real estate where you store equipment, commercial property insurance provides coverage for your equipment while it’s on the premises, as well as for the building itself.
