Landscaping contractors on the road in Garden Grove
36 C-27 landscaping contractors are licensed in Garden Grove (CSLB, September 2026), and 59% operate as corporations or LLCs — entities whose vehicles are normally titled to the business and need commercial auto. Neighboring Orange County markets: Santa Ana (127), Orange (93), Anaheim (87).
Why a personal policy is not enough
Landscaping crews usually run trucks with open trailers. The trailer and the mowers or equipment on it need to be scheduled — the trailer on auto, the equipment on inland marine.
California's private passenger minimums are 30/60/15 (since January 1, 2025); most GCs require $1 million combined single limit on commercial auto.
Checklist
- Consider uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Schedule every truck, van and trailer titled to the business
- Add hired and non-owned auto for rentals and employee cars
- Insure tools in the truck under inland marine

Frequently asked questions
Does my personal auto policy cover my work truck in Garden Grove?
Usually not if the truck is titled to the business or used mainly for work; personal policies commonly exclude business use.
Do C-27 landscapers need workers' comp?
If you have employees, yes. Solo C-27 operators can currently file an exemption; beginning January 1, 2028, CSLB will require workers' comp for all active licenses (SB 1455), except joint ventures. Tree service (C-61/D-49) already requires it.
