How Does Insurance Protect Landscaping Businesses?
Business insurance is vital protection for landscaping and lawn care professionals. The nature of the work landscaping professionals do can involve many liability risks that could cost a landscaper thousands of dollars to overcome.
For example, a landscaper’s tools and equipment could be vandalized or stolen, a fire could ignite at your place of business, or if you make a mistake at a customer’s property that causes damages or injures someone, you may be liable to pay the costs.
Business insurance covers unexpected scenarios and accidents that can lead to expensive damages, lawsuits, or lost income.
What Does a Landscaping Insurance Policy Include?
A landscaping insurance policy typically includes the following coverages:
- General liability insurance to cover third-party bodily injury and property damage claims.
- Tools and equipment insurance covers the portable tools and equipment landscapers use if vandalized, stolen, or damaged by fire or water.
- Pollution liability insurance covers claims of environmental damage and third-party bodily injury or property damage claims caused by fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals.
- Commercial auto insurance covers business vehicles and trailers landscapers use to haul their crews and equipment.
- Commercial property insurance protects your landscaping business’s office or business property if damaged by fire, natural disasters and extreme weather, vandalism, theft, and internal water damage.
Your business may need to include other types of insurance in a policy. If you have questions about what your policy should contain, speak to a licensed Zensurance broker.
