Program administrator and specialty brokerage firm NIF Group has announced the launch of an insurance program designed for members of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP).

NIF’s Landscapers Package Insurance Program was developed in conjunction with AXIS Insurance Company and NALP, along with NIF broker partner Rancho Mesa Insurance Services. The policies will be underwritten by AXIS Insurance Company.

The new program targets landscaping risks, including landscaping maintenance, lawn care service, hardscaping and similar operations, according to NIF. Coverages are offered on an admitted basis and include general liability, property, inland marine, crime and commercial automobile. The program is offered in all states. Non-NALP members can receive quotes contingent on a discounted first year of membership to the association.

“Independent agents nationwide have an experienced partner for comprehensive coverage for landscape operations with highly competitive pricing and industry-leading coverage options,” said David Daniels, president of NIF’s California division and underwriting office for the landscapers program. “This product was designed for the landscaping industry by the experts at Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, AXIS and NIF. We understand that our best approach to this segment is giving them industry-specific form enhancements and a monthly reporting payment plan that fits their seasonal nature.”

“This program was developed to provide NALP membership a very competitive package insurance product while encouraging the professional landscape community to engage in NALP, its accreditation programs and the many other benefits the association has to offer,” added Jason DeSarle, vice president of membership and marketing for NALP.
