Homeowners insuranceand the wall around the yard.

At 83.7% owner-occupied with a median of $413,800, Marana is block walls and desert landscaping on almost every lot. Both sit under a limit that was calculated from the house.

Walls, gates and landscaping fall under other structures and plants carry a limit of their own.

Common Issues We Solve

What a Marana house asks of a policy

Three things about everything on the lot that is not the house.

Block walls are other structures

A perimeter wall knocked down by a microburst is covered under other structures, which is a percentage of the dwelling limit shared with every detached thing you own. Replacing a long run of block wall is not a small job, and on a lot with walls on three sides it uses a meaningful share of a limit nobody has ever checked.

Plants have their own small cap

Trees, shrubs and landscaping are typically covered only for specific perils and only up to a modest limit, frequently with a further cap per plant. Mature desert landscaping is expensive to replace and the policy was not written with that in mind.

Wind damage to a wall is not always obvious

A wall pushed out of plumb and left standing is still damaged, and the claim is easier when it is reported promptly rather than after it finally falls. Documenting the yard before storm season is worth the ten minutes.

FAQ

Homeowners questions from Marana

A storm knocked down my back wall. Is that covered?
Generally yes, under other structures, subject to your deductible and the limit for detached structures. That limit is a percentage of your dwelling cover and is shared with anything else detached you own. On a lot with a lot of wall it is worth checking the figure.
What about the trees and landscaping?
Covered on most forms for a limited set of perils and up to a modest amount, often with a cap per plant. Mature desert landscaping costs considerably more than those caps, so it is worth knowing the limit rather than assuming the yard is insured.
The wall is leaning but has not fallen. Should I report it?
Yes. Damage that has not yet become collapse is still damage, and a prompt report is far easier to substantiate than one made months later when the wall finally goes.
