What you need to know about

What Tree Loppers & Arborists Need to Be Covered For

Working as a tree lopper or arborist often means working at height, near power lines, or with chainsaws, chippers, and cranes — which makes your job high-risk in the eyes of insurers.

At Priority, we help you find policies that offer real protection across all areas of your business. Common cover types include:

  • Public Liability Insurance – Cover for third-party injury or property damage claims, especially vital when working in residential areas or public spaces.
  • Tool & Equipment Cover – Protects chainsaws, climbing gear, stump grinders, chippers, trailers and more against theft, fire, and damage.
  • Personal Accident Insurance – Income protection for sole traders or subcontractors in case of injury on or off the job.
  • Commercial Vehicle Insurance – Protects utes, trucks or trailers used in your business.
  • Workers Compensation – If you have employees, this is a must-have for injuries on site.

What other insurance does your tree business need to consider?

Depending on the size and scope of your business, you may also want to look at:

  • Contract Works Insurance – Useful for larger landscaping or site clearance jobs.
  • Professional Indemnity – If you provide arborist reports or expert advice.
  • Plant & Equipment Insurance – For machinery like stump grinders and cherry pickers.
  • Income Protection – For sole traders who rely on their physical ability to work.

Our brokers can guide you through the lot, and ensure it’s all bundled correctly.

Why you should have a tree lopper insurance policy that covers all of your business

It’s easy to under-insure — especially when you’re trying to keep costs down or buying online. But in tree lopping, the risks are too high.

We often see policies that:

  • Don’t include height limits over 10m
  • Don’t cover subcontractors
  • Leave out tool theft from unlocked vehicles or trailers
  • Exclude damage from falling branches
  • Don’t include stump grinding or machine use

We make sure none of that happens. Every policy is reviewed by our team to ensure it’s fit for purpose.
