Natalie did an impeccable job treating my beautiful elm tree! She was so careful of my landscaping and gardens. I enjoyed speaking to her for a few moments, a very pleasant conversation and obviously devoted to her profession of caring for our previous trees. Thank you Natalie.

Glad to have my tree treated on schedule. Only complaint is that I was not given any notice.

Jocie Anderson came out to look at the silver maple saplings that have sprung up all over my yard as a result of my neighbor’s tree producing a zillion seeds last spring. I was grateful for Jocie’s advice and expertise. She is very knowledgeable, having a degree in environmental studies and extended studies as an arborist. I found Jocie to be knowledgeable, helpful, and very pleasant to visit with. 5 Stars!!!

Our ash trees have been treated by Rainbow Treecare for years and we are so grateful to be able to continue to enjoy these trees. This year, we reached out to Rainbow Treecare for help on our crab apple that suffered from apple scab last year. We were concerned the tree was toast, but they were able to recommend and complete a treatment and the tree looks fantastic this year! We also recently asked for a diagnosis on our maple tree. We've been very impressed by Rainbow Treecare and are grateful for their knowledge, professionalism, and services!

Great service!!!

Elliott was so considerate (knocked instead of ringing doorbell and I had a sleeping baby 😅) and polite. He also was super kind to my five year old and let him watch the process of treating our tree, then answered his many questions after. He even gave my son a little tree tag to keep because he was so interested in it all! Such a delight to have a positive energy from someone doing work at your house. I definitely recommend Rainbow Treecare! And thanks for your kindness, Elliott!

I have used the tree care service for trimming & tree removal but also to treat a few of my trees against dutch elm disease. All services have been well coordinated & professionally performed.

Luke, Tyler, Dylan & Ellie were efficient and professional.

Elliott treated our ash tree for Emerald Ash Borer. It was exceptionally polite and respectful. I trust Rainbow for all of our tree care.

The last few years Consulting Arborist Charles Kastern has been very helpful explaining what my trees need. In addition to answering my e-mailed questions, Charles has come to my property to inspect my trees. He has strong feelings that trees get their best care.

Jada is amazing! Super friendly and knowledgeable and helped ease my worries about my tree. Thank you so much Jada!!!

Christine K.

this young man took care of our tree stump. Operating all the equipment on his own, took great care of the surroundings and did an excellent job. He made sure the heavy tractor and cutting machine was secure and locked down on the trailer when finished. Clean up was impeccable. Your company can be very proud of this young man and his excellent work performance

Rainbow Tree showed up across the street today. A person on an electric bike fell going down the Cul-de-sac. Immediately the young, female employee jumped out of her truck to help the victim and then started her service at the home. It was so nice to see your employee not hesitate to help a stranger.

Rainbow Tree Service has been amazing!!!! Tim Beaudry is a wonderful arborist, and is kind and very helpful. He has helped my 83 year old mother a lot. I am very grateful for the professionalism, the competence, and the kind nature. Tree service is a big business in Minnesota, but Rainbow workers are very down to earth and actually help their customers. Rainbow is taking down our Maple this coming week, and we are so pleased in their work.From a grateful daughter, Thank you.

Great service from beginning to end. Sadly we had to have our beautiful old maple removed before it fell down. The removal was fascinating and done with minimal disruption of our gardens. Clean up was immaculate. Stump grinding fast and also fascinating. All we need is some seed in the spring and it will look like no tree was ever there.Thanks, Rainbow

Pleasant and efficient tech. Good job!

Jocelyn did a consultation for us today on a gigantic silver maple. She was such an expert, and it was apparent that priority One for her was ensuring a healthy tree. But she also was very fair and balanced about cost issues etc. Just really impressed!

Rainbow Tree Care was the highest quality professionalism from the initial assessment of the large ash tree in our backyard to the, sadly for us, absolutely necessary removal. The arborist who did the initial inspection and assessment was complete and detailed in that assessment, pointing out a couple of signs indicating that removal needed to happen. The crew that executed the removal were efficient, hard-working and clearly dedicated to safety, judging by all of the "fashion accessories" they were wearing (helmets, ear muffs, safety goggles, kevlar chaps, neon vests/shirts). There was constant communication amongst them all and they were looking out for each other while also taking care around our small back yard not to damage anything.It was a delicate, hard job in a rather difficult spot (my assessment, I sure would not have wanted to tackle this in such a small space!) and all of the Rainbow Tree folks accomplished the task spectacularly. Thank you. Recommend this company and its personnel without reservation, you won't be disappointed in any way.

Julie is amazing. She comes with the most impressive drip-line manners.

We have used Rainbow for their tree and pest services for the last 2 years. It was so good to see Dave again! He is both knowledgeable and personable and cares about doing a good job for us.The peace of mind knowing mice and pests are not in the house is priceless! You can trust Rainbow.I highly recommend them!

Traci J.

I just had Charlie Kastern out to look at a tree that I've been very worried about. Charlie acknowledged my concerns and then explained how its successfully working to heal itself and I'm so relieved that I get to keep it! He also explained what to look for in the future that would indicate concern. It would have been more profitable to tell me that it needs to be removed but I know I can trust Rainbow to guide me in the right direction.

Carol G.

Rainbow and their employees always do a great job. Treating our large ash to save it. They are always quick and very polite.

Fletcher C.

Customer service was great, super easy to establish an appointment. The person providing the estimate was straightforward and explained the services clearly. There was NO pressure at all! The person who came out to provide the service (Emerald Ash Borer treatment) explained the service well and was friendly and professional. Very happy with the service!

Linda D.

Great communication throughout the years of our ash trees’ treatments. Their service techs are very professional too. Our trees look awesome!

Brenda R.

This man was really wonderful! He came out quickly and gave us a free estimate and also his expertise on our growing problem. He was willing to take on our project and help us to success! He seemed to really know his stuff! Unfortunately we didn't have the full experience of his services, but we enjoyed every encounter we did have with him. So I wanted to give him a good review for what experience we did have with him.

Sandy O.

Rainbow Treecare team is great. They removed 7 trees for us this fall. The process was professional from start to finish. We highly recommend them.

Gary H.

Our neighborhood ash trees (like many others) were infested with Emerald Ash Borer. We removed one, but the Rainbow arborist felt the other was worth trying to save. They treated the tree, and it is doing very well. Their formula is recognized as one of the best, and their pricing is very competitive. I highly recommend!
