White Clover Weed Control Services in Minneapolis and St. Paul
White clover is one of the most common weeds seen in lawns in Minnesota. While some enjoy white clover flowers for the pollinator benefits, others see it as a nuisance. White clover spreads well and can handle low-nutrient conditions so it can quickly become a problem in your yard if it isn’t controlled or removed. If you need assistance controlling white clover or removing it from your yard, schedule a weed service today!
What can you expect from our white clover weed control service?
Before we decide how to treat or remove white clover from your yard, one of our weed control professionals will perform a thorough inspection of your whole lawn. This allows them to locate and identify the weed issues you have and help tailor treatment recommendations to your specific yard. Unlike many weed control companies, Rainbow Lawncare only applies weed control where required — instead of covering your whole lawn multiple times a year. This process is safer for pets, children, and the environment as a whole.
There is no better defense against white clover than thick, healthy grass. White clover can have a difficult time competing with dense turf, but factors like compacted soil, patchy coverage (especially in part-shade conditions), and low nitrogen content can all give white clover the edge. To help promote the needed healthy grass, many customers choose to add our premium fertilizer program to their white clover control services. Those who combine the programs get the additional advantage of free call-backs if white clover becomes a problem between our visits.

Additional frequently asked questions about white clover control and removal
If you only have a small amount of white clover in your yard, the how-to for removal is fairly straightforward — completely pull out or dig up the clover you see and try to improve grass health and density in those areas. However, if you have a more widespread white clover problem, an expert using the correct chemical weed control and additional lawn health improvement will be more effective.
No — and be wary of any company that makes this claim. Complete removal of any weed requires totally covering your lawn with chemicals multiple times a year. A more realistic and healthier goal is to aim for a yard that is around 80% weed-free, which is easily attainable with proper maintenance and selective treatment.
White clover begins growing in early- to mid-spring and flowers from spring through early fall.
Yes. Herbicides that are used to treat white clover will affect any broadleaf plant, including shrubs and trees. To ensure the health of your other plants, lawn, and the environment at large, leaving chemical application is best left to the professionals. However, you can help make treatments more effective by promoting dense grass and healthy soil conditions that will help your yard outcompete white clover.
