Landscape gardeners insurance

Insurance for gardeners, tailored to you

However well prepared you are, accidents do happen – and if you’re in the landscaping trade, those accidents can be expensive. With insurance from Simply Business you can protect yourself against the odd slip-up, choosing from a range of key covers to build a flexible policy. Whether you work on your own or employ someone, and whether or not you have your own premises, it’s quick, quality cover, without the hassle.

Building your policy

Public liability insurance is a key cover for many businesses, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business. Simply Business offers between £1 million and £5 million in cover, to protect you against this cost.

Professional indemnity insurance is a vital consideration for all businesses that give advice or offer professional services to other businesses. It covers you in the event that you give faulty advice that causes financial loss to a client.

Personal accident insurance covers serious injury, something you might face during the course of your work as a landscape gardener. It pays out for the likes of lost income and medical costs, and you should consider adding this cover to your policy if you would struggle to make ends meet if left unable to work following an accident.

Elsewhere, you may also want to consider tool insurance, plant and machinery insurance and business equipment insurance.
