Arborist Insurance in Ontario

Coverage that climbs as high as the work does.

Tree work is among the highest-risk trades an insurer sees: heights, chainsaws, rigging over houses and hydro lines. A dropped limb through a roof or a felled tree on a fence line is a liability claim waiting to happen.

We place arborists with insurers who actually understand tree care, so the premium reflects your controls — certification, rigging practice, and clean claims — not a generic contractor rate.

What the package includes

Commercial general liability (CGL) for third-party injury and property damage
Tools and equipment coverage, on site and in transit
Commercial auto for business vehicles
Coverage for climbing, rigging, and aerial-lift operations
Installation floater / builder's risk for projects under way

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Does arborist insurance cover damage to the client's property?: Yes — third-party property damage is the core of the CGL: a limb through a roof, a fence crushed by a trunk, turf damage from equipment. Damage to the tree you're actually working on is typically excluded as 'your work', which is why controlled rigging matters.
How much does arborist insurance cost in Ontario?: Premiums depend on your revenue, team size, services, and claims history — many small operations pay a few hundred dollars a year for core liability coverage. As an independent brokerage we compare our full panel of insurers for the exact mix of coverage your business needs, so you only pay for protection that fits.
