LANDSCAPE GARDENING LIABILITY INSURANCE For NC and VA
MORE THAN 30 YEARS INSURING CONTRACTORS
We are your go-to market for all contractors, whether BIG or SMALL!
Overview of the Program From Agents Insurance Markets, Inc.
Agents Insurance Markets, Inc. provides targeted General Liability solutions for landscape gardening and lawn care contractors across North Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia. With more than 30 years placing contractor business, we combine niche underwriting expertise and access to flexible non-admitted markets to help you place accounts that need tailored limits and endorsements.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is designed for a broad range of landscape and grounds-maintenance operations, including:
Landscape gardeners and full-service landscapers
Lawn care and grass-mowing services
Tree pruning, trimming, dusting and spraying
Stump grinding and light site cleanup
Residential and commercial maintenance contractors
Typical fits are contractors performing routine lawn and landscape services, seasonal crews, and firms that need higher limits or specific policy features not available in standard admitted markets. Accounts with heavy excavation, major tree removal, or extensive subcontracted heavy civil work generally fall outside this appetite.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
The program centers on comprehensive General Liability with options and endorsements that align with contractor exposures:
General Liability limits available up to $5,000,000
Occurrence-form coverage
Excess liability available to increase limits
Property Enhancement form options
Equipment and tools coverage via property floaters
Additional Insured endorsements, primary wording and waiver of subrogation available
Per-project aggregate limits offered where required by contract
Damage to premises rented to you (up to $100,000) and Medical Payments (up to $5,000)
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting focuses on the specific operations, claims history, contract exposures and equipment values. We place business with reputable non-admitted carriers to offer greater flexibility on limits and endorsements. While the program offers competitive minimums for qualifying accounts, final pricing depends on the insured’s operations, payroll/subcontractor usage, past losses and requested coverages.
Territories and Availability
This program is available to agents writing business in North Carolina (NC), Virginia (VA) and the District of Columbia (DC). Policies are placed through non-admitted carriers where appropriate; please confirm state availability and any local licensing requirements when submitting.
