January snow load, April mud season
January buries it. April hands it back.
- Snow load and thaw
- January buries the yard under packed snow and the thaw hands it all back at once, so April is when a winter of missed pickups actually arrives. We walk the same route through both. Crews probe under the drifts along the fence line and the south wall where the melt runs first, and the boxelder and maple litter that comes down with it gets cleared off the turf instead of raked into it.Same route in the snow load and the thaw.
- What falls with it
- Maple and boxelder drop through the melt and oak leaf litter mats down over winter, so a spring visit is as much clearing as it is pickup. Fescue and clover hide small finds until the ground opens, which is why the April routes run long.maple, oak, boxelder, fescue, clover
The visit
What every visit leaves behind.
- 01Scoopers
- Every scooper is background-checked before their first route, and those with their own insurance show an Insured badge.
- 02The yard
- The whole yard, corners included, in a lawn-safe pattern. The waste is bagged and taken away.
- 03The gate
- The gate is shut and photographed on the way out, and the photo reaches your phone. You need not be home.
- 04The record
- Each visit records a color, consistency and content read in the app, dated, so a change has something to be compared against.
- 05One thread
- Skips, reschedules and gate notes go through one thread with your scooper in the app.
- 06How often
- Weekly service keeps most yards guest-ready, and busy multi-dog homes can add a mid-week visit so nothing piles up.
