Commercial Auto & Equipment Coverage

For landscapers and snow removal contractors, vehicles and heavy equipment aren’t just tools—they’re the backbone of your operations. Whether you’re transporting mowers, plows, skid steers, or salt spreaders, a single accident, breakdown, or theft could put your entire business at risk.

 

Commercial Auto & Equipment Coverage ensures that your work trucks, plows, loaders, trailers, and other essential vehicles are protected against accidents, theft, and unexpected damage. If a collision, vandalism, or severe weather event sidelines your equipment, this coverage helps cover repair or replacement costs, so you’re not left scrambling to keep up with your contracts.

 

When your business relies on being on the road and on-site, having the right insurance coverage minimizes downtime and financial loss, keeping your business running no matter what challenges arise.

Contractor's Equipment Insurance

Your equipment is one of your most valuable business investments, and without it, you can’t serve your clients or complete jobs on time. Contractors’ Equipment Insurance is designed to protect the specialized tools and machinery you depend on daily, whether you’re maintaining lawns in the summer or clearing snow and ice in the winter.

 

This coverage extends to mowers, plows, salt spreaders, excavation equipment, power tools, and more, ensuring that if they are damaged, lost, or stolen, you’re financially covered. Equipment theft is a growing problem in the industry, and without proper coverage, replacing stolen or vandalized tools can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket.

 

Unlike standard property insurance, Contractors’ Equipment Insurance protects your assets wherever they are—on job sites, in storage, or while being transported. When equipment failure or loss threatens your ability to work, this coverage ensures you have the financial support needed to recover quickly.

Workers Compensation Insurance

Landscaping and snow removal are physically demanding industries with a high risk of workplace injuries. Employees face potential hazards daily, from operating heavy machinery to lifting materials.

 

Workers’ Compensation Insurance protects your employees and business by covering medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost wages due to job-related injuries. Without this coverage, a single injury could lead to costly medical bills and lawsuits, straining your business financially.

 

For instance, if an employee slips on icy pavement and suffers a back injury, or a landscaper cuts their hand with a power tool, Workers’ Compensation ensures they receive medical care and wage replacement while safeguarding the business from liability.

 

For landscapers and snow removal contractors, Workers’ Compensation Insurance is essential for long-term stability.

Our business insurance solutions provide coverage for building owners, real estate investors and property managers.

Contractors’ Equipment Insurance reimburses the cost of stolen equipment, allowing the business to replace essential tools and continue operations.

A landscaping company accidentally applies an excessive amount of fertilizer, leading to chemical runoff into a nearby water source, causing environmental damage. The local municipality files a lawsuit for contamination cleanup costs. Pollution Liability Insurance covers cleanup costs, legal fees, and any environmental penalties.
