Hypothetical claim scenarios

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

A bobcat damages an underground sprinkler line during installation. The general liability policy is generally intended to respond to allegations of this nature in the event of a covered claim, subject to policy form.
A newly installed retaining wall fails and damages a downhill driveway. Completed-operations coverage is generally intended to address allegations of this type.

Frequently asked questions

Does landscaping insurance cover chemical and herbicide application?

Pesticide and herbicide application is often excluded or requires a separate endorsement. Disclose all chemical applications on the application.

What about subcontracted hardscape or tree work?

Subcontractor exposure is sometimes excluded or requires subs to carry their own coverage. Confirm sub policies and additional-insured language before binding.
