Are landscaping and gardening different?

Yes, landscapers and gardeners are different. While both jobs involved looking after gardens and plant life, there are small differences between the two.

A gardener is typically focused on the health and wellbeing of plants and maintaining any plants or grassy areas of a garden. Whereas landscapers are, as the name suggests, focused on the landscape. This could include walls, patios, and pathways and providing designs or suggestions for how to elevate the look and feel of a garden or other outdoor space.

Do landscapers need different cover from gardeners?

No, in most cases landscapers and gardeners will need the same types of insurance to cover the work they do.

Can I change my cover if I need to?

Yes, you can change your cover at anytime from your online AXA account space. Simply log into your account and form there you can add or remove covers, or change the level of cover required.
