Contractor's tools and equipment insurance

This policy helps pay for repair or replacement of a contractor’s tools and equipment if they are lost, stolen, or damaged. The items typically must be less than five years old.

Protect your landscaping business while on the go

Commercial property insurance covers your building (if you own it) and its contents, but it doesn’t cover mobile property. Whether you provide lawn maintenance or tree removal services, your landscaping business likely involves transporting equipment, tools, and other supplies. That's why you may need contractor’s tools and equipment insurance, which covers work items no matter where you take them.

This policy typically provides coverage for:

  • Powered equipment, such as lawn mowers and leaf blowers
  • Hand tools, such as shovels, rakes, and hoes
  • Equipment you lease to others

Bundle policies to save money and increase coverage

If you run a small landscaping business, you may want to look into adding contractor’s equipment insurance to your general liability insurance or business owner's policy (BOP). This insurance provides coverage for up to $10,000.

Contractor’s tools and equipment insurance is a type of inland marine insurance designed specifically for contracting and construction businesses. Talk to a licensed Insureon agent about contractor’s equipment coverage for your lawn care or landscaping business.

Other important policies for landscapers

Contractor’s tools and equipment insurance protects the equipment you need to run your business, but it doesn’t cover other common risks. Landscaping professionals should also consider:

General liability insurance: This policy can cover expenses related to customer injuries and property damage, such as a client who sues over damage to a lawn.

Business owner's policy: A BOP bundles general liability coverage with commercial property insurance to protect against the most common business risks.

Commercial auto insurance: This policy covers vehicles owned by your landscaping business. It typically pays for accidents, vehicle theft, and certain types of damage.

Workers’ compensation insurance: Workers’ comp can cover medical costs for work injuries. It's required in almost every state for businesses that have employees.

Cyber liability insurance: A cyber liability policy helps landscaping businesses recover from data breaches and cyberattacks that expose sensitive information.

License and permit bonds: Landscapers might need a surety bond to get a license in their state, or to do specific types of work.
