Protecting Your Landscape Investment
Professional landscaping costs thousands of dollars to install and maintain. Dog waste threatens that investment every single day. Here is a landscaper's seasonal prevention plan that protects your outdoor spaces.
Spring Plan
- Deep clean the entire yard of winter waste accumulation
- Apply lime to neutralize soil acidity from winter waste
- Reseed bare patches caused by freeze-thaw waste damage
- Install or refresh designated potty area material
- Start weekly professional cleanup service
Summer Plan
- Increase pickup frequency — heat accelerates odor and bacterial growth
- Water urine spots immediately to prevent nitrogen burn
- Apply enzyme treatments monthly to break down waste residue
- Monitor for fly activity near waste accumulation areas
Fall and Winter Plan
- Clear waste before leaf drop obscures deposits
- Overseed damaged areas before winter dormancy
- Continue pickup even in cold weather — waste freezes and accumulates
- Plan for the spring thaw reveal
Tip
The single best thing you can do for your landscape is never let waste sit. Clean Paws year-round service is cheaper than a single landscape restoration project.
