Bundle general liability and property, if a BOP actually fits.

What a BOP includes

A BOP combines general liability with business property, your office or shop contents, and sometimes a limited amount of property coverage, into one packaged policy. For a smaller landscaper it can be simpler and cheaper than buying general liability and property separately, which is why it is a common starting point.

What it leaves out

A BOP is not a whole program. It does not include commercial auto for your trucks and trailers, workers compensation for your crew, and often does not adequately cover equipment in transit (inland marine) or chemical application. A landscaper who buys a BOP and stops there can be badly exposed on exactly the coverages the trade needs most.

BOP vs a monoline stack

Whether a BOP or a separate monoline stack is better depends on your size and operations. A BOP can be cheaper and simpler for a smaller operator with modest property, while a monoline stack of general liability, property, auto, comp, and equipment gives more control and fits a larger or more complex operation. We compare both against your actual business.

How we handle it

We look at whether a BOP genuinely fits your landscaping operation or whether a monoline stack serves you better, and either way we make sure the coverages a BOP leaves out, auto, workers comp, equipment in transit, and chemical work, are placed so there is no gap. The goal is the right structure, not just the cheapest package.
