FAQ
Landscaping insurance questions
How much does Landscaping general liability insurance cost in St. Petersburg, Florida?
Most landscapers in St. Petersburg, Florida pay roughly $40–$130/mo for General Liability, depending on revenue, payroll, limits, and claims history. St. Petersburg's exposure to storm surge and flood can influence pricing. The fastest way to get a real number is to run a quote — it takes a few minutes.
Do landscapers in Florida need general liability insurance?
It's rarely required by state law, but in practice most landscapers can't work without it: general contractors, landlords, property managers, and venues almost always require a certificate showing $1M/$2M, additional insured for HOAs and property managers before you set foot on the job.
What does GL cover for a landscaper?
It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: a flying rock from equipment damages a car or window. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.
How fast can a landscaper get a Certificate of Insurance?
Once coverage is bound, we issue a COI naming the specific GC, landlord, or venue that's requiring it. If your operation needs a specialist, an Arace agent turns certificates around quickly.
Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?
No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
