Dandelion Weed Control in Minneapolis & St. Paul
Fast spreading and extremely resilient, dandelions are one of the most common weeds found in lawns around the Twin Cities. As a perennial weed that grows quickly in various conditions, dandelions are particularly suited to growing in patchy lawns and areas with poor soil conditions. If dandelion weeds are overtaking your lawn, schedule your dandelion control service with Rainbow Lawncare today!
What can you expect from our dandelion weed control service?
Every yard deserves a customized approach, which is why the first step in our process is a thorough examination by a Rainbow Lawncare expert to identify all the problem areas in your yard. Once we understand the extent of your dandelion problem, our consultants can recommend a targeted solution. Unlike other lawn care companies, Rainbow Lawncare only applies weed control where needed, not across your entire lawn during the fertilization process. This allows our experts to kill and control dandelion weeds in a way that is safer for plants, children and pets, while still being effective.
One of the best ways to control dandelions and other weeds is to maintain healthy, dense turf that is able to outcompete them. That’s why many Rainbow Lawncare clients pair weed control with our premium fertilization program. Those enrolled in this program can also take advantage of free weed control call-backs, to address any dandelion issues between visits.

To improve the health and resiliency of your turf, additional services like overseeding and aeration can be added to your fertilization and weed control program.

Additional frequently asked questions about dandelion weed control
No. Companies that boast 100% weed control achieve their results by completely covering lawns in herbicides multiple times a year. A more realistic goal is an 80-85% weed-free lawn, achieved through occasional treatment and a dense, naturally healthy turf.
Dandelions start growing in April and early May and bloom throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Yes, which is why they should be applied by professionals. Most herbicides used for dandelion weed control are designed to kill broadleaf plants — trees and shrubs are also broadleaf plants. Weeds are symptomatic of deeper problems within the lawn and soil, meaning the best way to control weeds is to maintain a healthy, dense turf. This is done by improving the soil conditions, applying quality granular fertilizer, and employing proper lawn mowing and lawn watering practices.
