Why is lawn care business insurance important?

Lawn care insurance is important because it can manage liability for accidents and property damage, protect your equipment and tools, and cover workers' compensation if an employee gets hurt. It can also help your business bounce back from unexpected events, boost client confidence, and keep you compliant with legal requirements.

Not having landscaping business insurance exposes you to significant financial risks and can affect your ability to grow and operate effectively.

Some clients may ask for proof of insurance before beginning a project with you. Progressive Commercial can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) once you start a policy.
