Scoop North vs. DIY vs. the big franchises
Every option gets the poop off your lawn. Only one does it for $24 a visit, texts you a gate photo when it's done, and never asks you to sign anything.

Why the little things matter
📸 The gate photo
The #1 fear with any yard service: an open gate and a missing dog. After every single visit we text you a photo of your latched gate, so you never have to wonder.
💬 Actually reachable
No phone menus. Text (289) 803-7667 and a real answer comes back in minutes — pause service, add a dog, ask about the long weekend, whatever you need.
🍁 Priced for weekly, not once
Weekly service is where yards stay genuinely clean, so that's what we made cheapest: $24 a visit, and your first cleanup is free to prove we've earned the next one.
Try us against anyone — the first cleanup is free.
