What is Property/LandPro and TreePro?
Property/LandPro and TreePro programs are specialized insurance packages designed for businesses and operations that work with land, trees, and outdoor property. These programs typically combine property coverage, commercial liability, and targeted endorsements that address planting, pruning, removal, and landscape maintenance exposures. Many programs also consider equipment coverage and commercial auto exposure because mobile tools and vehicles are common on job sites.
Who needs it
Contractors, landscape companies, tree care crews, municipalities, and smaller organizations that manage land or perform tree services often seek this coverage. Operators who transport equipment or perform work at client sites will want protections that address both on-site liability and losses to mobile equipment. For specific program details, see the LandPro® TreePro® Insurance Program at https://completemarkets.com/company/NIPGroup/landpro-treepro/.
What it typically covers
Typical coverages include:
- General liability for bodily injury and property damage to third parties.
- Property coverage for owned buildings, yards, and tools stored on-site.
- Equipment coverage for chainsaws, chippers, cranes, and trailers.
- Commercial auto for vehicles that transport crews and equipment.
- Optional endorsements such as participant accident or event liability for community tree events.

Common exclusions or limitations
Exclusions often include wear-and-tear on equipment, intentional damage, pollution or pesticide application without proper endorsements, and certain high-risk operations such as aerial tree removal without certified controls. Underwriting factors and specific exclusions will vary by carrier, so confirm limits and endorsements with your provider.
Factors that influence cost
Premiums depend on several underwriting factors, including the size of the business, payroll and revenue, the number and value of equipment items, claims history, the types of services offered (e.g., stump grinding, crane-assisted removals), and geographic risk exposures. Risk management practices—such as employee training, documented safety programs, and vehicle maintenance—can also reduce cost.
Proof of insurance & compliance
Clients and municipalities often require certificates of insurance showing general liability limits, additional insured wording, and evidence of workers’ compensation. Keep copies of your policy declarations and updated certificates ready for contract requirements.

How to get a quote
To get an accurate quote, gather information about your operations: services offered, employee counts, equipment lists, vehicle details, recent loss history, and any contract requirements. Discuss coverage options and required endorsements with a broker or agent — talk to your agent to review which package fits your operation.
Risk scenario: a roadside limb drop injures a passerby or damages a vehicle—such incidents illustrate why combined liability and equipment protections are important.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these programs cover rented equipment?
Some policies include rented equipment coverage or offer it as an endorsement. Confirm whether rented tools or short-term rentals are covered and what limits apply.
Will my policy cover work at multiple job sites?
Most commercial policies are written to cover operations at multiple locations, but you should disclose whether you frequently work in different municipalities or states so the insurer can set appropriate limits and endorsements.
Can I add pollution or pesticide liability?
Yes, pollution and pesticide liability are commonly available as endorsements but may require separate underwriting and additional premium depending on the level of exposure.
