When to book
When does a one-time dog poop cleanup make sense?
When the yard needs one big cleanup instead of weekly upkeep. The usual reasons are a winter of buildup, a move-out, a house going on the market, a backyard party or a busy stretch when nobody scooped.
The spring reset
The yard went untouched from November to March, and the first dry weekend shows exactly how much is out there.
Move-outs and deposits
Renters handing a yard back, and landlords or property managers getting a rental ready between tenants.
Listing or showing a house
Buyers walk the backyard. It's one of the cheapest things to fix before photos.
A party, graduation or family visit
Anything where people will be standing on the lawn.
The yard fell behind
A new baby, an injury, a long stretch at work or a second dog. It happens, and it's easy to fix.
Spring cleanup
Why is spring the big cleanup season here?

Because the wettest months in East County are the months nobody scoops. The Portland metro averages about 36 inches of rain a year, and most of it falls from November to January. By March, a yard can hold a whole winter of waste pressed into wet grass.

Rain doesn't wash dog poop away. It softens it and pushes it down into the grass, where it's harder to see and pick up, and what does move heads toward the nearest storm drain. When the ground dries and the grass starts growing, all of it comes back into view.
That's why March or April is the best time for a spring cleanup: after the heaviest rain, before the grass takes off and before anyone mows over it. If the lawn already has dead patches, read what dog poop does to a lawn and how to fix it.
Clean before the first mow
Mowing over dog waste doesn't get rid of it. It spreads it across the lawn, into the mower deck and onto whoever is mowing. If the yard sat all winter, clean it first and mow second.
How it works
What happens on a one-time cleanup visit?
We walk the whole yard in a grid, then check the edges where most of the buildup hides. We double-bag everything and take it with us, latch the gate and text you when we're done. You don't need to be home.

Tell us what we're walking into
If the yard hasn't been cleaned in months, mention it when you book so we can plan for the time it really takes.
Grid sweep, then the edges
We start with the open lawn, then cover fence lines, under decks, behind sheds, along garden beds and the long grass the mower misses.
It leaves with us
We double-bag the waste and take it off your property. It doesn't go in your curbside bin. More on where the poop goes.
We latch the gate and let you know
We latch every gate and text you when the cleanup is done.

Plan or no plan
Should I book a one-time cleanup or a regular plan?
If the yard fell behind once, a one-time cleanup fixes it. If it's likely to happen again, a plan costs much less per visit, because a yard on a schedule never builds up a backlog.
Many customers do both: a one-time cleanup first, then weekly or every-other-week service to keep the yard clean. There's no contract on either. To choose a schedule, read how often to scoop, which goes through it by number of dogs. Is a pooper scooper service worth it? helps you decide whether you need one at all.

My yard hasn't been cleaned all winter. Can you still do it?
Yes. That's exactly what a one-time cleanup is for. When you book, tell us roughly how long it's been so we can plan enough time.

What happens to the dog poop after the cleanup?
We double-bag it and take it off your property. It doesn't go in your curbside bin or a park trash can.
Will you still come if it's raining?
Yes. We do cleanups in the rain, which in East County is most of the winter. A visit can move by a day in severe weather, and we'll tell you ahead of time.
