How can something so sunny yellow throw you into such fits of rage?
Dandelions. #*!%$!
One of the most common lawn weeds in Minnesota, dandelions test the patience of the calmest lawn owners.
Take a few deep breaths, and let’s talk about dandelion control in Minneapolis.
So what are we dealing with here?
Have you given a puff to a dandelion and watched its seeds scatter in the wind? Pretty fun, right? Please stop. You just helped a bunch more dandelions grow.
Those seeds germinate really easily. And they can last for decades, sprouting long after you blow on that puff ball.
RainMaster specialists target dandelions with a specialty “weed shield” herbicide designed to reduce the number of dandelions that emerge. If any sneak through, we can treat them with a broadleaf herbicide.
Preventing dandelions in Minnesota is easier than getting rid of them. And a thick, healthy lawn is the best way to prevent weeds.
Weeds hate healthy lawns. So…
When you’re heading out into the lawn with your mower, those dandelions in frustrating view, try to control your rage. It’s tempting to mow even lower than usual to mow down those annoying buggers. Take a breath. Then, mow high.
Shorter grass also has a weaker root system, which makes it more susceptible to weeds.
A lawn that’s too wet or too dry encourages weeds like dandelions.
Your best bet: invest in a professionally installed irrigation system to help water your lawn correctly and efficiently.
Those dandelions seem like they sprouted overnight, right? They didn’t.
Most people think dandelions originate in the spring, but dandelion seeds actually germinate in late summer and early fall.
That’s why you need a complete, proactive lawn care program that includes both weed preventative and curative treatments from early spring to late fall.
If your lawn looks healthy, can’t you skip dandelion prevention?
Nope. Those seeds are hanging out, sometimes for years. Ignore them, and they’ll turn into ugly weeds.
We know you care about the environment, just like we do. That means we don’t blanket your lawn with dandelion weed control if it isn’t necessary.
If you have just a few dandelions, we’ll treat just those weeds.
