Does lawn care insurance cover key risks like equipment damage, chemical exposure, or theft?

Yes, but different policies address different risks: 

  • Chemical exposureWorkers’ compensation can help if employees are injured by pesticides or fertilizers. OSHA highlights pesticide handling as a major hazard in landscaping. 
  • Client property damageGeneral liability protects you if chemicals kill plants or if equipment damages fences, siding, or vehicles. 

Having these protections in place ensures your business is prepared for the most common hazards of lawn care work.
