Frequently Asked Questions
Does standard general liability cover my ride-on mowers against theft?
No, general liability only covers damage or injury you cause to third parties. To protect your commercial mowers, trimmers, and trailers against theft, fire, or vandalism, you need an Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine) rider.
Am I automatically covered if I plow snow in the winter?
No. Most standard landscaping policies exclude snow removal operations unless specifically endorsed. Snow plowing carries unique slip-and-fall liabilities and requires a dedicated winter weather extension.
Do I need specialized coverage for applying fertilizer or weed killer?
Yes. Chemical spraying often falls under pollution exclusions in standard policies. Adding a Herbicide and Pesticide Applicator endorsement protects you if chemicals damage grass, kill plants, or drift onto neighboring properties.
How fast can I issue Certificates of Insurance for commercial lawn contracts?
Once your policy is bound, our team can issue COIs quickly—often the same day—so you can attach proof of insurance to commercial bids and land new accounts without delay.
What happens if a mower throws a rock through a customer’s sliding glass door?
This is a classic General Liability claim. Your policy helps pay for repairs to the damaged property and handles legal defense costs if a dispute arises with the property owner.
Are solo lawn care operators required to carry Workers’ Compensation?
State laws vary, but sole proprietors are often exempt unless required by commercial clients. However, if you hire seasonal workers or helpers, most states mandate Workers’ Comp to cover job-site injuries.
Does personal auto insurance cover my truck while pulling a lawn care trailer?
In most cases, no. Personal auto policies typically deny claims if an accident happens while conducting business or hauling commercial gear. Commercial auto coverage is essential to keep your truck and trailer fully protected.
How does tree trimming or removal affect my insurance rates?
Trimming small ornamental trees from the ground is usually included in standard rates. However, work above a certain height limit (e.g., 12–15 feet) or full tree removal involves higher risk classifications and may adjust your pricing.
