Fresh Yard Scoop FAQs

What pet waste removal schedules do you offer?
Recurring service is available twice weekly, weekly, or every other week. We also offer Fresh Start Cleanups for yards that need a one-time or initial reset.
What areas of my yard will Fresh Yard Scoop clean?
We clean the agreed service areas where dog waste is present, including accessible front, back, and side yards, dog runs, and other outdoor areas included in your service instructions. If you want a specific area checked, just let us know.
Do you provide dog waste removal year-round?
Yes. Recurring pet waste removal is available year-round. Many visits can still be completed in light rain. If severe weather makes service unsafe or impractical, we’ll contact you and adjust the schedule as soon as conditions allow.
Do I need to be home during service?
Usually not. As long as we have safe access to the agreed service area and your pets are secured as needed, we can complete the visit without you being home.
How do you keep my dogs and property safe?
We sanitize equipment and footwear between properties, follow your access instructions, secure the gate after service, and can include a gate photo with your completion update. Our service team members are carefully vetted.
Can you clean while my dog is in the yard?
Sometimes. Friendly dogs may be able to stay outside if the setup is safe, but we ask that protective, anxious, reactive, or aggressive dogs be secured during service. If a visit can’t be completed safely, we’ll let you know.
Can I request a specific cleanup day?
Yes. You can request a preferred service day. Availability depends on your address and the current route schedule, so we’ll confirm the best available option when service is set up.
Do you provide an exact arrival time or arrival window?
Because route timing can shift with traffic, weather, and the needs of each property, we don’t promise an exact arrival time. We do send on-the-way and completion notifications so you know when your yard is being serviced.
How do you dispose of pet waste after each cleanup?
We collect and double-bag the pet waste after each cleanup. By default, the bag is placed in your trash bin. If haul-away or another disposal arrangement applies to your service, we’ll confirm that with you in advance.
How is pet waste removal pricing determined?
Your quote is based on factors such as the number of dogs, yard size and layout, service frequency, access, and any initial buildup. We confirm your quote before service begins.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. You can start, adjust, or stop recurring service without being locked into a long-term agreement. You can manage service details in your customer portal or contact us if you need help with a change.
Can you help with artificial turf and pet odor?
Yes. We offer artificial turf cleaning and targeted outdoor deodorizing for pet-use areas.
Do you offer pressure washing too?
Yes. Pressure washing is available for appropriate exterior hard surfaces.
What areas do you serve?
Fresh Yard Scoop focuses on Orange County and nearby Long Beach. Route availability can vary by address.
Is the first cleanup free with recurring service?
Yes. Your first pet waste cleanup is free when you start qualifying recurring service. One-time cleanups are quoted separately.
