Who Needs Lawn Care Insurance?
If you simply mow lawns on weekends for neighbors, you likely don’t need to worry about insurance, but if you plan to grow your operation into a large and legitimate business, you should consider insurance coverage. Any business that operates as an entity, including paying taxes or registering with the state, needs to have the full slate of possible insurance coverage. With more than 1 million people in the industry having insurance sets you apart from the competition.
Along with coverage for basic lawn care businesses, we also ensure businesses involved in gutter cleaning, shrubbery and hedge trimming removal, Christmas light installation, leak raking or cleanup, and pest control or fertilization.
One of your biggest investments in your lawn care business will be the equipment you use every day. From lawn mowers to hedgers to leaf blowers, these tools can be expensive and require specific maintenance, all to ensure the best experience for your customers. But if these items are damaged or stolen, you could be out large amounts of money or left unable to work. Insurance for lawn care equipment can be added to any property, ensuring that your equipment can be replaced and repaired so that you can get back to work quickly.
How Much Does Lawn Care Insurance Cost?
The starting price for Lawn Care Insurance can be as low as $336 for one year of coverage or $28 per month. For that price, lawn care businesses can protect themselves with up to $1 million in general liability coverage should an accident occur.
Additional coverage options are also available and can be included in a Lawn Care Insurance plan according to business’ needs, like cyber liability. The prices of these additional coverage options are available on the Lawn Care Insurance application.
