This week on Trades Talk, host Justin White sits down with Nick Knight and Christian Padgett of Baldwin Group to explore how insurance can be more than a backup plan. For growing landscape companies, it can become a tool for strategy, stability, and even profit.
Nick comes from a family of insurance professionals, and Christian brings over ten years of hands-on landscape industry experience with companies like Valley Crest, Brickman, and ASI Landscape Management. Together, they explain how captive insurance programs are becoming more accessible, giving business owners the ability to share risk with similar companies, control claims, and potentially receive dividends on unused premiums.
In this episode, Nick and Christian share: • How landscape focused captives can help companies turn insurance into a strategic advantage • Why many companies are underinsured as they grow and what to do about it • The importance of quarterly reviews, detailed risk planning, and ongoing communication • How trends like electrification, noise control, and AI integration are shaping the future of the industry • What they will cover in their presentation at the Landscape Show in Orlando
If your company is scaling and you want a better way to protect your people, manage risk, and build trust, this episode will change the way you think about insurance.
