One-time cleanup · Gresham & East County
A single yard cleanup with no plan attached, anywhere in Gresham, Troutdale, Happy Valley, Fairview and Wood Village. Spring cleanups after a wet winter, move-outs, pre-listing cleans, or a yard that simply got away from you. One visit, priced by dog count, and you are not signed up for anything.
When the yard needs to get back to zero once, rather than be kept there every week. The usual reasons are a winter's backlog, a move-out, a house going on the market, an event in the back yard, or a stretch of life where the scooping just stopped happening.
Because the wettest months in East County are exactly the months nobody scoops. The Portland metro averages about 36 inches of rain a year and most of it falls between November and January, so by March a yard can be holding a whole winter of waste, pressed into wet grass.
Rain does not wash dog poop away. It softens it and works it down into the turf, where it is harder to see and harder to pick up, and whatever does move goes toward the nearest storm drain rather than out of your life. When the ground dries and the grass starts growing, the backlog comes back into view, usually on the day of the first mow.
That is why the best time for a spring yard cleanup is March or April: after the heaviest rain, before the grass takes off, and before anyone runs a mower over it. If the lawn already has dead patches, here is what dog poop does to a lawn and how to repair it.
Mowing over dog waste does not get rid of it. It spreads it across the lawn, into the mower deck and onto whoever is pushing the mower. If the yard has sat all winter, get it cleaned first and mow second.
I sweep the whole yard in a grid, then work the edges where a backlog actually hides. Everything is double-bagged and leaves with me, the gate gets latched, and you get a confirmation when I am done. You do not need to be home.

If the yard got away from you once, a one-time cleanup fixes it. If it is going to get away from you again, a plan costs far less per visit, because a yard that is scooped on a schedule never builds a backlog to clear.
Doing both, in that order, works well: a one-time cleanup to reset the yard, then weekly or every-other-week service to keep it there. There is no contract on either. If you are trying to work out which schedule you would need, how often to scoop walks through it by dog count and yard size, and is a pooper scooper service worth it? is the honest version of whether you need one at all.

Yes. A winter backlog is exactly what a one-time cleanup is for. Mention roughly how long it has been when you book, so the visit is scoped for the time it actually takes.
No. All I need is a way into the yard. Every gate gets re-latched on the way out, and you get a "yard secured" confirmation when the cleanup is finished.
It is double-bagged and hauled off your property. It does not go in your curbside bin, and it does not go in a park or neighborhood receptacle.
Yes. Cleanups run in the rain, which in East County covers most of the winter. A visit can move by a day for severe weather, and you are told in advance.
Yes. Starting with a one-time cleanup to reset the yard, then booking weekly or every-other-week service to keep it clean, is a sensible order to do it in. There is no contract on either, and a plan can be paused or cancelled any time.
