What types of insurance does a landscaping business need?

Landscapers face outdoor risks every day—equipment hazards, property damage, and worker injuries. Core protections include: 

  • General Liability – Covers property damage (like breaking a client’s window with equipment) or third-party injuries. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you have employees; protects against injuries such as heat stress, slips, or cuts.
