What we do
Since our founding in 1976, we have been committed to changing the way trees in the Twin Cities are cared for. That vision began with saving landmark American elms from Dutch elm disease and has grown to protecting over 60,000 ash, oak, and elm trees in more than 100 communities. Our Treecare division provides a full range of services including pruning, removal, fertilization, and insect & disease control. Our customers include homeowners, commercial property owners, school districts, and municipalities primarily within the Twin Cities metro area.
Tree care services
With a team of over 50 ISA Certified Arborists, we have the expertise and the equipment to provide excellent tree care on any size job.
Preservation
Rainbow has partnered with over 30 cities throughout the Twin Cities to treat public ash trees against EAB in parks and along boulevards
Planning
A tree inventory using GIS technology to map trees by size, species, location, and condition is the first step in creating a large-scale tree management plan.
