Insurance for tree trimming?

I'd like to do some side jobs trimming and taking down medium and small trees. What kind of insurance do I need and how expensive is it likely to be for a part time venture. I'd probably take down a few trees a week, mostly on the weekends. I need some liability and property damage coverage, because trees and limbs don't always fall where you expect them to fall. :)

I live in Wisconsin.

Thanks!

Update:

Hoping to hear from someone who has a ball park idea of what it might cost. Checking with local agents is certainly required before I actually buy it, but I'm looking for a rough cut feasibility notion first. Hoping someone knows if its a hundred bucks a month or a thousand.

    Contact several local agents to get quotes. I would suggest that you choose agents that you have a personal history with since they will be more motivated to help you out with your situation.

    The cost for this type of coverage can be kind of expensive due to the potential for injury and damage, especially for a new business venture. Keep in mind the importance of this coverage, however, as one accident could wipe you out financially.

    Good luck with your new business!
