New WALP Health Benefit Gives Landscape Companies More Buying Power

Washington Landscape Companies Save on Health Insurance through New WALP Partnership

Seattle, United States - August 31, 2026 / WALP /

WALP, Anything Insurance, and BIAW open the BIAW Health Trust to member companies with as few as two employees.

SEATTLE, Wash. (August, 2026) — The Washington Association of Landscape Professionals (WALP) has partnered with Anything Insurance and the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) to open the BIAW Health Trust to WALP member companies.

The Health Trust is a group health plan open only to member businesses. Many members save 10 to 15% over what they pay today on health benefits. Plans include medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, plus an employee assistance program. Members pick from more than 50 plans and build coverage around what their crews need. A service team answers questions from the company and from employees.

The two-employee minimum is what makes the program especially valuable for smaller landscape companies. On their own, small employers are priced like the small group they are, with limited buying power. Through WALP, member companies gain access to a large group health plan and the greater buying power that comes with it.

Dave Haizlip, WALP State President, announced the partnership at the Northwest Nurseries Summer BBQ on August 12.

"We’ve worked on bringing this benefit to WALP members for quite some time because access to quality, affordable health insurance can make a real difference for landscape companies and their employees. Whether it’s a small company offering benefits for the first time or a larger company looking to reduce costs, this gives our members access to greater buying power. When we announced the partnership at the Northwest Nurseries Summer BBQ and immediately had a small company member ask who they could contact to learn more, it reinforced exactly why we pursued this. "

— Dave Haizlip, State President, Washington Association of Landscape Professionals
