Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A rock thrown by a mower breaks a customer's window. The general liability policy is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
A tree limb falls during pruning and damages a parked car. Coverage for this type of allegation depends on policy form and exclusions.

Frequently asked questions

Does landscaping insurance cover tree trimming?

Some carriers include tree work; others exclude it entirely or limit it by height. The Thimble policy form, for example, is generally intended to include tree work under 30 feet. Always verify exclusions before binding.

What about chemicals and herbicides?

Pesticide and herbicide application is often excluded or requires a separate endorsement. If your business applies chemicals, disclose it on the application.
