Lawn Fertilization Service Programs in Minneapolis
Most Minnesota homeowners dream of enjoying a lush, green lawn. They also know a beautiful lawn can be tough to maintain – even the healthiest lawns need support to stay in top condition. Rainbow Lawncare’s fertilization services, with or without weed control, can help you create the lawn you want and ensure it continues to thrive!
We offer two options for achieving your perfect lawn – time-released traditional fertilizer or organic. Both are specifically formulated for the climate of the Twin Cities. From the type of fertilizer you want to the amount of weed control needed, the choice is yours.
What can you expect from our lawn fertilization programs?
Unlike other lawn care and fertilization companies, Rainbow Lawncare never locks you into a plan you’re not committed to. We offer you the flexibility of choosing between our Premium Fertilizer Program, a premier, professional-grade option, or our fully Organic Program.
Program 1: Premium Fertilizer & Weed Control
our most popular option
Our premium fertilizer and weed control program uses the cutting-edge technology of controlled release fertilizer, giving you a lush, green lawn and benefits to the environment. This program includes three fertilizer applications: spring, early fall, and late fall. The first application includes a professional, golf course-grade product that provides a slow release of fertilizer for over 90 – 120 days, which eliminates the need for additional applications during the Minnesota summer. We developed this program to ensure our lawn care approach stands up to the demands of Minnesota’s changing summer weather patterns.

- Early spring fertilizer (controlled release over 90 – 120 days) along with pre-emergent and spot weed control

Program 2: Fully Organic Fertilizer
Rainbow Lawncare is one of the few companies that offers homeowners in the Twin Cities a fully organic lawn care fertilizer service.
Why choose a Rainbow Lawncare Program?
You can expect trained professionals to deliver outstanding service throughout the entire process, from phone representative to expert technician. Our lawn consultants have degrees in turf management or agriculture, and our technicians have the proper licenses and are passionate about their work. Additionally, we use only the highest quality products available for lawn care. Most importantly, we understand that all lawns are different, and you deserve a plan that fits your needs.
Additional frequently asked questions about fertilization
One of our biggest challenges in Minnesota is the short growing season, and in particular spring (which sometimes feels like just a week). Our team has a very narrow window of time to provide you with the recommended five fertilizer applications perfectly timed throughout the season. Additionally, the readily available slow-release nutrients will allow your lawn to get the fertilizer it needs – when it needs it – while also benefiting the environment.
Plants need nutrients throughout the growing season to grow to their fullest potential. When we apply a controlled release fertilizer, the turf gets a very predictable and consistent release of nitrogen (N). The controlled release allows for less opportunity to have leaching of extra product into the ground water or growth surges right after application. Additionally, our technicians can then focus on weed control during key summer visits.
With so many products on the market, lawn fertilization may seem like an easy do-it-yourself task. In reality, it can be challenging to do correctly. Our technicians are highly trained to avoid problems homeowners often encounter, including:
- Using too much or the wrong type of fertilizer
- Uneven distribution of fertilizer
- Applying more than the lawn requires and can absorb
- Applying fertilizer when the lawn doesn’t need it
- Excess fertilizer leaching into groundwater or runoff contaminating lakes and streams
Lawn fertilization provides many benefits:
- Encourages root and leaf growth
- Improves soil and turf health
- Helps the lawn resist damage from stressors including pests, diseases, and drought
- Replenishes vital nutrients that can be lost over time
- Crowds out weeds — naturally!
Professional application can further help your lawn by ensuring it gets the proper type and amount of fertilizer. Our expert technicians can also monitor the health of your grass over time and adjust fertilization as needed.
