Crabgrass Control and Removal in Minneapolis & St. Paul
One of the greatest annoyances facing Minnesota homeowners is the sight of crabgrass popping up in what should be a lush, green lawn. Crabgrass is a hardy annual weed that grows well in various conditions, making it a prime candidate to take over lawns. Whether you’re facing a crabgrass problem or want to prevent one before it starts, schedule your crabgrass control service today!
What can you expect from our expert crabgrass control service?
Every lawn service begins with a careful examination and identification process, performed by a Rainbow Lawncare expert. Once the extent of the crabgrass issue has been identified, we will come up with a program tailored to control it. Ideally, this service begins with using a pre-emergent in the spring, but crabgrass can also be addressed in the summer as needed. Unlike many other companies, Rainbow Lawncare only applies weed control where it’s necessary, avoiding blanket applications during the fertilization process. This method is safer for plants, children and pets, without reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
One of the best ways to control and remove weeds from your lawn is by maintaining a healthy, robust turf that can outcompete weeds like crabgrass. This is why many people combine weed control services with Rainbow Lawncare’s premium fertilization program. Customers enrolled in this program get free weed control call-backs if there are weed issues between our visits.

Additional frequently asked questions about crabgrass control
For the occasional instance of crabgrass, control is as easy as digging it up and removing it from the ground. However, if you have widespread crabgrass coverage or recurring issues, it’s best to bring in the professionals. This is especially true when spraying for weeds — using too much or applying improperly can have negative effects on your lawn and the environment.
No — companies that promise 100% weed control achieve this by coating your entire yard with herbicides multiple times a year. A much healthier and more achievable standard is an 80% weed-free lawn that is achieved by occasional treatment and the natural weed resistance of dense, healthy turf.
While many people don’t notice crabgrass until summer, the best time to begin controlling it is in spring when it starts to germinate.
Yes, which is why they should usually be used by professionals. Most herbicides used for crabgrass control are designed to kill broadleaf plants. Your trees and shrubs are also broadleaf plants. Weeds are symptomatic of deeper problems within the lawn and soil. The best way to control weeds is to maintain a healthy, dense turf. This is done by improving the soil condition, applying quality granular fertilizer and employing proper lawn mowing and lawn watering practices.
