Whether you’re maintaining lawns, installing gardens and landscape features, or providing commercial property care, you put your time, skill, and hard work into every job. With landscaping insurance from Berxi, you can help protect your business, your finances, and your equipment — with coverage that fits the way you work.

Why is landscaper insurance important?

Landscaper insurance is a type of general liability insurance designed for landscaping businesses and professionals, both residential and commercial. It provides essential financial and legal protection if you accidentally damage someone’s property or cause an injury at work. For example:

  • If you hit a window with a rock from your mower, your landscaping insurance can pay to repair it.
  • If a client or visitor trips over a hose and gets hurt, your insurance policy can help pay for their medical bills and other costs.
  • If you’re sued for bodily injury, property damage, or personal/advertising injury, your general liability coverage can cover legal fees and settlement costs.

Even small jobs can lead to unexpected general liability claims, which is why landscaping insurance coverage can be valuable whether you have a full-time business or do landscaping part-time or seasonally.

Who needs landscaping insurance?

All landscaping businesses and professionals can benefit from landscaping insurance, including:

  • Gardeners
  • Landscape contractors & designers
  • Lawn care businesses & professionals
  • Lawn maintenance businesses
  • Seasonal cleanup services
  • Tree care businesses
  • Tree trimmers

In many cases, general liability insurance may also be required to do business: residential clients, HOAs, and businesses often require proof before they’ll hire you, and contracts often specify that landscapers carry a certain amount of general liability insurance.

Types of Insurance for Landscapers

There are different types of insurance for landscapers, the most important of which is general liability insurance. Berxi offers general liability insurance for landscaping businesses and professionals, and you can add optional business personal property coverage to your general liability policy to protect your equipment.

General liability helps protect landscaping professionals and businesses from common risks that can arise while working on a client’s property. It covers third-party claims involving:

  • Bodily injury, such as a client or visitor tripping over landscaping equipment, hoses, or materials and getting hurt
  • Property damage, such as accidentally damaging a sprinkler system, fence, vehicle, building, or other property while performing landscaping work
  • Personal and advertising injury, including claims of slander or copyright infringement in your marketing materials

These types of claims happen unexpectedly, and the costs can add up quickly. That’s where general liability insurance for landscapers comes in: it helps cover the cost of medical bills, repairs, attorneys’ fees, and legal settlements and damages.

You can add optional business personal property (BPP) coverage to your Berxi general liability policy to help protect the tools and equipment you need to do your job. BPP coverage can help pay to repair or replace your landscaping equipment and other business assets if they’re damaged or lost. (Note that BPP generally doesn’t apply to normal wear and tear.)

Examples include:

  • A lawn mower, trimmer, or leaf blower is damaged while being transported between job sites and needs to be repaired or replaced.
  • Landscaping materials and supplies are damaged by a covered event, such as flooding at your garage, workshop, or storage facility. BPP coverage can help cover replacement costs.
  • Specialized equipment, such as an aerator, sod cutter, or hedge trimmer, sustains covered damage, and your BPP coverage can help pay for repairs or replacement.
  • A work laptop is lost or damaged. BPP coverage can help cover the cost of replacing it.

Other Types of Landscaping Insurance

If you have employees, workers’ compensation insurance can help cover medical expenses and lost wages if they’re injured or become ill as a result of their work. In most states, this coverage is required by law once you hire employees. You can add optional workers’ comp coverage from one of our trusted partners to your Berxi general liability policy by speaking with our in-house product specialist team.

If you use a truck or another vehicle for business purposes, commercial auto insurance can help cover costs related to accidents, vehicle damage, and certain liability claims. This coverage is especially important if you transport employees, equipment, tools, and supplies between job sites.

Professional liability insurance helps protect your landscaping business if a client claims your services caused them a financial loss. For example, it may help cover legal defense costs if you’re accused of failing to perform services as promised.
