The reality

One branch drops wrong.
Someone's house, car, or power line pays the price.

01

Workers comp will crush you if you're not careful.

Tree work is classified alongside roofers and structural ironworkers—the highest-risk trades in America. One fall from height, one chainsaw accident, and you're looking at claims that can exceed $500,000. The wrong classification or a missed detail and your premiums double.

02

Property damage is not if—it's when.

Trees are unpredictable. Wind shifts, branches snap, rigging fails. A 40-foot oak goes the wrong way and you're staring at a destroyed roof, crushed car, or downed power line. You need GL limits that can handle six-figure property damage claims—not the $300K policy your cousin's agent sold you.

03

Municipal and commercial contracts require real coverage.

Cities, utilities, and property managers all demand certificates with specific limits—often $1M/$2M GL and higher umbrella limits. They want additional insured endorsements. They want completed operations coverage. Without a broker who can turn this around fast, you lose the job.

"We place tree services every week. We know the carriers that specialize in high-hazard trades—and the ones that will non-renew you after your first claim."
