Insurance For Tree Loppers & Arborists
A tailored tree lopping and arborist insurance package brings together the core covers your business needs into one program. We look at how you actually work, then shape a solution that fits your risk profile, contract requirements and budget.
Typical protection can include public liability, tools and equipment, commercial motor, business property, and income-style cover if you are unable to work. For many arborists, this is the backbone of their business risk management.
Tailored Insurance for Everyday Tree-Work Risks
Every tree business faces a mix of property and liability exposures. It might be residential pruning, 24-hour storm call-outs, council contracts, line clearance, or technical removals with cranes and elevated work platforms.
A well-structured package helps manage risks such as:
-
Falling branches or trees damaging homes, cars or neighbouring property
-
Injury to clients, members of the public or subcontractors on site
-
Theft or damage to chainsaws, chippers, stump grinders and trailers
-
Fire, storm or impact damage at your depot or workshop
-
Loss of income after a major insured event
We work with you to ensure your cover reflects how you operate today, with room to grow tomorrow.
Who Should Consider Tree Loppers & Arborist Insurance?
Specialist cover is worth considering if you are:
-
A tree lopper working in residential, commercial or government environments
-
A consulting arborist providing reports, risk assessments or council submissions
-
An arborist crew operating chippers, stump grinders, EWP or crane-assisted removals
-
A vegetation management or line-clearance contractor
-
A landscaper who also undertakes tree removal or pruning above normal garden height
-
A startup or small tree business looking to formalise cover for contracts and council work
We walk through your exposure in detail, including heights, powerline proximity, plant values and subcontractor arrangements, then structure insurance for tree loppers and arborists that is practical and robust.

Common policy inclusions for tree loppers & arborists
Public and Products Liability
Provides cover if your work is alleged to have caused injury to others or property damage. For tree loppers and arborists, this is central, as you work with heavy branches, machinery, traffic, and neighbouring structures.
Property Damage
Covers physical damage to your insured premises, equipment and contents, such as your depot, office or workshop. Includes events like fire, storm, impact and accidental damage, which can disrupt operations if your gear or buildings are affected.
Business Interruption
Helps keep your business running after a covered event. This can protect revenue and fixed costs while you repair damage, replace equipment or relocate. For an arborist business with scheduled contracts and staff on wages, this support can be critical.
Tools, Equipment and Plant
Covers the portable tools and specialised equipment your tree business relies on. This includes chainsaws, climbing gear, stump grinders, wood chippers and trailers. Theft and accidental damage are common risks in this industry, and replacing gear quickly is essential to keeping your operations running.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
Protects the vehicles used to transport your plant, crew and equipment. Utes, trucks and tippers used for tree work require proper commercial cover, especially when towing heavy chippers or carrying loads. This ensures you’re protected for accidents, damage and liability while operating on or around job sites.
Personal Accident and Illness
Provides an income-style benefit if you are injured or suffer a covered illness and cannot work. Tree lopping and arboriculture are physically demanding trades, so this cover is especially important for sole operators, climbers and key staff whose absence would significantly affect operations.
