Groundskeeping Insurance — Coverage, Cost & Requirements
Groundskeepers maintain the exterior environments of commercial properties, golf courses, campuses, parks, and HOA communities — often with minimal supervision across large, publicly accessible areas. This creates third-party exposure across every square foot of turf you maintain: a visitor who trips on an uneven surface you were responsible for, a pesticide drift that affects adjacent property, or a crew member injured by a zero-turn mower on a slope. Groundskeeping insurance provides general liability for on-property incidents and completed operations, commercial property or inland marine for your specialized turf equipment and irrigation tools, workers' comp for seasonal and year-round staff, and commercial auto for grounds vehicles and trailers.
