Weekly vs. Every-Other-Week Scooping: Which Do You Actually Need?

The honest answer most companies won't give you: every-other-week is fine for some yards, and we'd rather match you to the right plan than upsell you. Here's the actual decision framework we use.

Go weekly if…

You have two or more dogs (accumulation doubles fast), kids who use the yard (bare feet and cartwheels deserve a clean field), a smaller yard (less area concentrates the problem), or you simply never want to think about it. Weekly is also cheaper per visit — $17 vs $24 with us — because each visit covers half the ground.

Every-other-week works if…

One smaller dog, a big yard, no yard-playing kids, and tolerance for a little accumulation between rides. It's real savings monthly (~$52/mo vs ~$74/mo weekly) and still miles better than the neglected-yard spiral.

The trap to avoid

Monthly or "when it gets bad" service isn't a plan — by then the lawn damage is done and the parasite load is set. If the yard's already gotten away from you, start with our $79 one-time deep clean, then pick a rhythm.
