We’ll help you get the business insurance coverage you need

It’s all about managing your risk. See the different policies available for lawn care businesses and save up to 10% when you bundle two or more of our policies.

General Liability

Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause

General liability insurance covers a wide range of lawn care and mowing 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 and individual clients. Liability insurance for lawn care businesses 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

Professional Liability (E&O)

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence

Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions) 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 applying fertilizers which burn the grass in a client’s yard, 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 you scratch a nearby vehicle while unloading equipment from your work truck.

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. 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 lawn care 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.

Equipment owned by you

Employee tools and clothing

Borrowed equipment

Commercial Property

For business owners who own or rent physical spaces

Commercial property insurance can help protect your lawn care business 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.

Lawn care insurance requirements

Lawn care services are almost always required to have insurance due to the risk of injury and property damage. You might need insurance to:

Start work on a project. Clients and local governments might ask you to have active insurance — usually general liability or workers’ compensation.
Hire employees. Most states require workers’ compensation.
Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance.
Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.

Frequently asked questions about lawn care business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about affordable lawn care insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect lawn care services?

Our grass cutting insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You can be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

An area of the yard is overwatered, causing a leak into a neighbor’s basement. The general liability coverage in your insurance package could help pay for a replacement.**

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips over a tool that was hidden in long grass. Your general liability coverage could also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

You forget to apply pesticide and some of the client’s plants die. Professional liability coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

An employee falls and twists their ankle while working on a sloped property. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

Your work truck is damaged by a flood. Commercial auto coverage can help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Theft or damage to your tools

An employee forgets to lock your storage shed and several tools are stolen overnight. You can choose to add tools and equipment insurance to your general liability coverage to help pay for replacement costs.

Damage to your own property

A tree falls over during a severe storm and damages the roof of your office. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
