Should Dog Poop Be Picked Up Before Mowing?

Dog poop is one of those things you just don’t think about until it’s there. And then it’s everywhere. But what do you do when you’re mowing the lawn and see dog poop sitting out in plain sight? Should you pick up the poop? Or let it sit there and wait for nature to take its course? In this blog, we will discuss a some common misconceptions about when dog poop should be removed.

Should Dog Poop Be Picked Up Before Mowing?

The Lawn Mower Does Not Remove The Poop in Your Backyard

Many people may think mowing over dog poop is the easiest way to get rid of the unsightly mess. However, this is not the case; even if you don’t see the dog poop, it does not mean it is cleaned up. When you mow with dog poop on your lawn, the mower can either miss it altogether or cut it into smaller pieces.

Dog Waste Isn’t a Fertilizer

Forget about the myth that dog poop is a fertilizer and will provide nutrients to your lawn. Dog poop contains high nitrogen content, making your grass turn yellow and eventually die. On average, dog poop takes about nine weeks to decompose. The decomposition process depends on the size of the stool, climate, and the dog’s diet.

First time using them due to an injury where I could not take care of the back yard duties. They did great. My dog was not happy that stranger was in the backyard but that is his job. Their employee did a great job and left a welcoming gift on the patio consisting of a tennis ball and some emergency poop bags for walks

This was the best Father’s Day gift for my husband. After working all week he used to start Saturday morning cleaning up the backyard. He LOVES not having that chore any longer! Randall is our guy and he does a great job and he is so friendly. It is a GREAT service!!

I have never been more grateful for a team of people!!! My husband and I have only worked with Dept. of Doody for a couple months but it has been AMAZING so far! They are quiet and quick, our dogs (that normally can hear someone from a mile away) never react to them being here to clean up! They are very detailed and we haven’t had a single problem with their work since we started! Would 1000% recommend their services!

The company and people are amazing. They do an amazing job communicating and performing services. Extremely affordable and work with you on scheduling. My dog even gets excited when we sees them knowing a treat is coming. Can't rave enough about them and doing what they do.
