A clean yard on a set day, the same face every visit.
Hi, neighbor.

Your dog's mess, gone.

The backyard stays clear of dog waste, so the grass is for playing on again.

A dog adds to the yard every day, and it adds up fast: a lawn crossed while looking down, and what comes in on shoes. On a set day it all gets picked up, so the grass is something to walk on again, not around.

Pick the schedule that fits the yard, from every other week up to twice a week. On your day the whole yard gets walked in a grid and every pile is bagged and sealed. Tools are disinfected before they touch your yard, so nothing comes in from another dog.

Visits keep going all winter, because the dog doesn't stop. And if the yard needs catching up after a long winter or a move, a one-time cleanup brings it back to clean first.

Pick a membership and the backyard is yours again.

Who It's For

Your yard back. Your weekend back.

You get the yard back, and the weekend that used to go to it. All twelve months. Here's what that feels like.

Never think about it again

The one yard job nobody wants just gets done, on its day, without you. In July and in January. Off your list for good.

Your weekend is yours

Hand off the yard job and spend Saturday however you want. On weekly and twice-a-week memberships, the walks get shoveled too.

Always ready for company

A last-minute cookout? The grass is already clear, so the backyard's ready before you even check. With winter walkways, the steps are ready too.

The best for your dog

A clean yard is a healthier one. Tools disinfected before every visit, nothing left for a nose to find. In snow, a spot gets cleared for the dog.

How It Works

Set it once, it gets done, so you stop thinking about it.

No reminders, no standing in the yard with a bag. The yard gets cleared on its day, then a photo of the gate shut.

01
Give your address

Your address and your dog's name. About two minutes. You get a set day of the week.

02
First cleanup free

Your first visit is free. If the yard needs catching up, a flat-priced one-time cleanup brings it back to clean first. More on that below.

No strings, neighbor.
03
Same day, every time

The whole yard gets cleared with disinfected tools, and the waste goes too. On weekly and twice-a-week memberships, snowy walkways get shoveled and salted.

You won't have to be home.
04
You just use the yard

A photo of the gate shut is texted once the yard is clear. One automatic charge at month-end for the month's visits. The rate in January is the rate in July.

That's the whole thing.
Clean Tools

Nothing comes in from another yard.

Fresh boot covers go on at your gate and come off in the trash on the way out. Tools are disinfected before they touch your yard.

Why it matters
Parvo travels yard to yard

Canine parvovirus survives in soil and hitches a ride on boots and tools from one yard to the next. The fewer things that move between properties, the safer every dog is, yours included.

The practice
Fresh boot covers, disinfected tools

A fresh pair of disposable foot covers goes on at your gate and comes off in the trash on the way out. Tools are disinfected before your yard with RESCUE®, the one-step veterinary disinfectant shelters and clinics rely on against parvovirus. It's on the truck, used before every yard, yours included.

RESCUE Concentrate, a one-step veterinary disinfectant cleaner. The label lists what it kills: parvo, ringworm, kennel cough, influenza, and more.

Deep Clean
For a yard that needs catching up

First time through, or after a long winter. The whole yard comes back to clean at a flat price. $— for a standard yard; $— for a large yard or heavy buildup. Your $— catch-up cleanup is free with any membership, and stays free after your 4th visit. Waiver terms.

Scooped All Winter

The dog doesn't take the winter off, and neither do the visits. Your membership keeps going December through March. With no snow down, the yard gets scooped like normal. When it snows, a spot in the yard gets cleared for the dog and scooped clean. Walkway shoveling and salting is its own service, and your membership sets the cost: included on weekly and twice-weekly, half price on every other week. The yard visits never pause.

Questions

What you're probably wondering.

Do I need to be home?
No. Gate access gets sorted out up front, however your gate opens. Once the yard is clear, a photo of the gate shut comes by text, so you know it's done without being there.
My yard is really behind. Is that still free?
The free first cleanup covers a week of pickup. If there's real buildup, more than a week or so, it starts with a one-time Deep Clean. That gets the yard back to clean: a flat $—, or $— for a large yard or heavy buildup. Your $— catch-up cleanup is free with any membership, and stays free after your 4th visit; the full waiver terms are just below. Then visits begin, and the first one is free.
What if I cancel soon after starting?
Your $— catch-up cleanup is free with any membership, and stays free after your 4th visit. Cancel before then and the $— is charged to the card on file. Your first cleanup is free either way; large yards or heavy buildup are a flat $—, charged in full.
Will you bother my dog?
No. It's in and out, eyes on the yard. Your dog doesn't need to be involved, and the work goes on calmly around one that is. If you'd rather have the dog inside during the visit, that's your call.
What if a week doesn't work?
Send a text before your day and that visit comes off. No charge, no questions. The next one comes as usual.
Can I pause or cancel?
No contract. Cancel between visits. A visit called off is never charged.
What do you do with what you collect?
It goes in a sealed bag and leaves the property. Nothing left on site.
How do I pay?
A card on file, charged automatically, so there is nothing to mail and nothing to chase. Nothing is charged until service begins. You're billed once a month, at month-end, for work already done. A month with a fifth visit bills the fifth at the same rate. One-time cleanups are charged at the job.
Is this just Oakland County?
Yes. The southeast corner of the county: Royal Oak, Berkley, Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods, Oak Park, Hazel Park, Madison Heights, Clawson, Southfield, Lathrup Village, and Birmingham.
What happens in winter?
Your visits keep going all winter. After every snow, the walkways and porch steps get shoveled and salted, done within the day. The salt is safe for dogs' paws. Winter walkways: included on weekly and twice-weekly memberships; half price on every-other-week ($— / mo). Nothing to set up separately; come December, the shoveling just starts. On its own it's $— for the season, paid up front, or $— a month if you also hold a Groundkeep plan. Your rate is the same winter or summer. For comparison, a plow service runs hundreds a season and never touches the walks. Winter.
Do you have a referral program?
Yes. Send a neighbor. Earn an hour.
