Having great yard esthetic is only half of the reason why keeping dog waste at a minimum is important for your yard. There are various risk factors that can come into play if dog waste isn’t regularly picked up and properly disposed of.

• Potential spread of diseases such as E. coli, Salmonella: Contagious for both pets and humans.

• Parasites: Hookworms, roundworms, and Giarda: Extremely harmful for pets and children.

• Soil contamination: Affecting how plants and vegetables grow.

• Water contamination: Adding bacteria and parasites in nearby water sources.

• Lawn damage: The acidity in pet waste can potentially burn your healthy grass, resulting in brown patches.

• Pest attraction: Can attract unwanted pests such as flies, rodents, and other scavengers that could further spread any present diseases.

• Odor: Can create pesky odor that is extremely difficult to remove.

Not only is it important to have great backyard esthetics for hosting social gatherings or just hanging out, but it is also crucial to maintain good lawn health and safety. Even just a one-time service once a month can drastically change the way your yard looks and operates.
