ISA Certified Arborist #MN-4926A

I started at Rainbow with a summer job in college injecting Elm and Oak trees to prevent Dutch Elm Disease and Oak Wilt. This experience led me to start with Rainbow full-time after graduation. Prior to my role as a Municipal Consulting Arborist, I oversaw Rainbow Treecare’s customer service team. What I enjoy most about Rainbow is the people. Every day I am surrounded by knowledgeable and friendly coworkers that create a very collaborative and supportive working environment. Outside of work I enjoy hiking and camping.

The scheduling was great. Communication has been very good. I love how Rainbow Treecare reminded me when treatment is due; furthermore, I called on day one and within two days, our Ash tree was treated for Ash Borer prevention. I’m sent a bill following the treatment and they bill exactly what was proposed for treatment cost. Mckenzie (Technician) did a great job informing me of her intentions regarding treatment of our Ash tree. She also noted that she found a slug or two and recommended those be treated.I highly recommend Rainbow Treecare.

We got our trees treatment and we’re happy with what they did.

Maggie S.

Can't say enough about the fast, professional, thorough job the team did. Thank you Russell, Luke, Matt and Tyler. Responsive and immaculate. We've been customers for 6 years and you will continue to be our only call!

Kaity was very professional.

Terry H.

I appreciate the note that Gordon wrote after treating my ash tree, stating the the tree was "absolutely stunning". That was good to hear!

Dave J.

I had a slight miscommunication about what was going to be a mulch bed and what was going to be grass. With one call a service appointment was made. Reggie and Eli came out for the service call and hot everything corrected and helped me with the straw mat to keep the dirt in place.

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.

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.

corey W.

Our pest experts tech was amazing! He was so polite and knowledgeable, and took great care to explain the process of the services provided. I highly recommend Rainbow Pest and all of their other service divisions!

Sandra P.

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.

Annette W.

We had 5 trees over 70 feet that needed thinking out and deadwood removed. We had an arborist come out first to evaluate the conditions and provide an estimate. The entire process was seamless with great communication for the steps needed prior to the climbers coming out. When they arrived (4 tree climbers) they were efficient, polite, very professional and informative for any questions we asked. They respected our extensive plantings (no damage at all) and the clean up was immaculate. It was a great experience, I highly recommend them.

Sharon J.

The tree trimmers did an excellent job, were courteous and cleaned up the yard thoroughly. We were very satisfied and highly recommend Rainbow!

I have had multiple people I have worked with throughout my life and companies. The professionalism and expertise that Rainbow tree offers for tree removal is beyond top tier. From the get go my arberesist Joey out of the little Canada office was very quick to come out and give me the best quote I got out of 4 other companies and companies that also said no it's to big if a tree for our crew. The entire process of watching the tree being removed safely and professionally the entire time. Words can't describe how amazing this company is. The tree removal crew Luke R and Cory are some of the most talented tree removal experts and arborist they there are. Tom and Reggie came out to finish the job and smoothed everything out. All 5 of these gentleman deserve a well job done. Keep it up and thanks to everyone else that assisted.

I haven't used the service, but I've run into some of the Treecare employees and they are super nice! Super knowledgeable too! I asked a little about their job and they were more than happy to share!

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

Gloria B.

Rainbow Treecare removed 2 large trees. I appreciated the crew that came to complete this task. I call the removal of these trees a work of art. The process was amazing to watch. Before they left everything was totally cleaned up. The men were courteous, kind, communication was easy because they spoke English.I have referred them to my neighbor.

Russell N.

The workers that came out were great. Evan,Logan, Wyatt and Carly did a great job. We will stay with this company and recommend it to others becuase of them! Russ & Linda

Brenda T

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.

Stephanie C.

Leben was knowledgable, helpful, informative and obviously loves what he does! He gave us the info we needed on the trees we were concerned about and then showed us another issue we didn't know we had. He gave us professional advice and I would definitely recommend Rainbow Treecare (and Leben) to everyone!

Kelsey J.

We used Rainbow Tree Company to trim a maple tree as well as a very tall spruce. We waited a few months for the appointment, but they were quick to bid the project and came at the appointment time. They hauled away the debris and did a great job trimming the two trees.

James K.

Rainbow Treecare has been our go-to company for tree issues for some time. A big part of our satisfaction is our visits from Charles Kastern, your arborist. He is unfailingly helpful, friendly, and polite. He answers all our questions knowledgeably, a great representative of your company.

Jeff W.

The guys from Rainbow Treecare did an excellent job removing a big ash tree between multiple power lines. And the clean up afterwards was great. Would highly recommend them.

Sean K.

We trust Rainbow with our 225 year old White Oak. They do incredible work!

Matt B.

1st time using Rainbow, great experience. Slow to schedule but absolutely worth it as we've discovered there are a lot of sketchy and unreliable contractors out there. Had a 40 ft white pine removed next to our pool so we were definitely worried about safety, power lines and the mess. We literally did not see a single speck of sawdust or leftover broken branch, either from the tree downing or the stump grinding afterward. Team super friendly, fast, and now it looks like there was never a tree there to begin with. Highly recommend.

Jim L.

Shout out to Sam (sales) and Nathan (foreman) for carefully walking us through the process to ensure that we were all on the same page before starting work on our maple tree. The work itself was perfect despite difficult weather conditions. Thanks!

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!

Judith B.

Rainbow Tree care is great. They treated my tree with care. They truly care about trees.
