It was easy to set up a consult to discuss seeding a bee-friendly lawn. Tech very clearly explained the process, what would (and would not) be done. I was automatically scheduled and given notice prior to service. Didn't have to do anything (including being home) other than making sure the yard was reasonably clear. Bee lawn is coming in great, would use this company again.

I am very pleased with Rainbow Lawncare. My weeds have been greatly decreased and my lawn looks so much healthier. It had been several years since I had a lawn care service and my lawn needed help desperately. Still a work in Progress but very satisfied. My neighbors have even commented on how good my lawn looks. John Maiers who is the technician that does my lawn is very professional and will to answer any question I have. I did a lot of research on different lawn care services before selecting Rainbow. Very happy I went with them.

Rainbow Lawncare did a wonderful job with our lawn. I love that they allow customers to choose how many treatments they would like. I prefer to keep chemicals to a minimum, so only request service when the weeds are absolutely out of control. So if I just want one or two treatments per year, that is fine. I just pay by the session. I did two treatments last year and my lawn looked great. Their techs are professional and do a fine job. Their email communication is quick and efficient. Highly recommended!

This is one of the easiest vendor relationships I've had. Not only is the entire group professional and extremely responsive, they are so easy to work with! Even the website for setting up services and billing is so easy to use. Honestly, I wish all of the other vendors I use were as easy to hire, schedule, renew, pay, etc. Top notch services and you won't be disappointed!

I appreciate the customer service and the high level of knowledge that comes from the staff. I went with other commercial groups where the customer service was horrible. This group listen to my needs and now that Spring is coming, it is clear they heard me and are doing exactly what we talked about in the fall. I appreciate recommendations but not just to boost sales. Other company did not care, and that was clear.

We found out we had grubs in our yard and contacted this service to come help us with the problem. The cost was very affordable, customer service (Amber) was just great to talk to and the guy who came made sure to ask if I had any questions before he started. It was very fast and will be using this service again in the near future! I highly recommend them!

I've been using Rainbow Lawncare for a few years now, and I highly recommend them. They are always professional and responsive, and my yard looks great. I switched to Rainbow because the previous provider was constantly trying to upsell services to me and was frequently calling. Rainbow does not do this. Also, Rainbow is employee owned and a local Minnesota company. We also use Rainbow Tree Care and they are fantastic.

About five years ago, I was raking my front lawn for the first time that Spring. The grass just came out in clumps. The ground went bare. I contacted Rainbow Lawn, and one of their specialists (Ryan) came out. The verdict was that grub worms had infested the lawn. So, I signed up for Rainbow’s program to treat the grub issue and regular maintenance of the entire lawn. My backyard is very shady; and, at that time, there were bare spots and weeds – violets, dandelions, etc. So, I ordered split-seeding for my first two years. Also, a neighborhood elm tree showered us with seeds every year and they sprouted by August through both the front and back areas.All I can say is that all these lawn problems are a thing of the past. I believe that I have had the greenest and fullest lawn in the neighborhood from the very beginning of my work with Rainbow.Bill Bailey -- Richfield
