Is dog waste harmful to my lawn?

Can dog waste spread diseases or parasites?

Yes. Dog waste can contain bacteria and parasites that may pose health risks to people and other pets if it's left in the yard. Prompt removal helps reduce these risks while creating a safer environment for your family and pets. Routine service also prevents waste from accumulating between visits.

How long does a typical yard cleanup take?

The time required depends on the size of your yard, the number of dogs, and how much waste has accumulated since the last cleanup. Most recurring visits are completed fairly quickly because the yard is maintained on a regular schedule. We'll work efficiently while making sure your property receives a thorough cleanup.

How do I prepare my yard before a cleanup appointment?

Very little preparation is required. Simply make sure your yard is accessible and that your pets are safely indoors or otherwise secured during the visit. Our team will handle the cleanup, remove the waste, and ensure your gate is properly secured before leaving.
