Business insurance

Insurance for Landscapers

Landscaping carries real liability — you are operating excavators and mowers, shifting heavy pavers and reshaping ground near fences, pipes and pools on a client's property. Public liability is the core cover if you damage property or someone is hurt, alongside tool and plant cover for your machinery and trailers. If you have employees or subbies, workers' compensation is required.

You will also want to consider cover for underground services, retaining wall failure and machinery hired in. Premiums for a small landscaping crew often sit around the ~$1,200 mark, and with many trade policies renewing around 30 June, it pays to review your cover before the new financial year so a burst pipe or a damaged driveway does not come straight out of your margin.

Common questions

Landscapers — insurance questions

What insurance does a landscaper really need?

Public liability is essential because you work on clients' properties with heavy machinery near services and structures, and plant cover protects your mowers, excavators and trailers. If you employ anyone, workers' compensation is legally required, and many crews carry it all under one trade policy.

Am I covered if I hit an underground pipe or cable?

Not always automatically — striking underground services is a common landscaping claim, so check your public liability does not exclude it and consider specific cover. Reviewing this before your 30 June renewal avoids a costly gap when you are digging on an unfamiliar block.
