If you are hosting Thanksgiving in Chattanooga or North Georgia this year, your yard is about to get more attention than it has all fall. Kids will run out the back door, relatives will take a walk with a plate of pie, and someone will end up standing in the grass. If you have a dog, that is the moment you want to be sure the lawn is clean. Scoopy Doo handles the dog waste so you can focus on the turkey, with one-time cleanups starting at $85 and weekly service from $20 per visit for one dog.
Most of the year, a few missed spots in the back yard are a minor annoyance. During the holidays they become a bigger problem, because more people use the space and many of them are not watching where they step. Guests in dress shoes, toddlers crawling on a blanket, and other dogs visiting for the day all make a clean lawn worth the effort.
Fall adds its own twist. Fallen leaves in the Chattanooga area can cover waste so it is easy to miss until someone steps in it, and damp November ground makes a mess harder to clean once it has been stepped on. Starting a few days before the holiday gives you time to find everything, not just what is easy to see.
Here is a practical order of operations that works for most Chattanooga and North Georgia yards:
Bag everything and put it in your outdoor trash can with a lid. Do not rinse it into the yard or a storm drain, and keep the can away from where guests will gather.
Dogs follow the perimeter, so waste often collects along fences and in corners where it is out of sight from the house.
Shade and leaf cover make these spots easy to overlook. Check them closely, especially if you have a larger lot in places like Ooltewah, Signal Mountain, or Soddy-Daisy.
This is where guests will stand and walk, and it is also where a dog may go right before coming inside. It deserves an extra look.
A holiday week is already full of grocery runs, cooking, cleaning, and travel schedules. Scooping a large yard, or several dogs worth of waste, is one of the easier chores to hand off. A professional visit is especially useful if you have more than one dog, a large or wooded yard, a recent period of heavy rain or leaf drop, or relatives arriving earlier than expected.
Scoopy Doo offers a one-time cleanup that starts at $85, so you can get the yard ready for the holiday without signing up for anything. If you like how it feels, you can move to recurring service with no contract.
Every visit includes a photo of your gate after the work is done and an on-the-way text before we arrive, so you know the job was completed without needing to be home.
Scoopy Doo serves the Chattanooga metro area, including Hixson, Red Bank, Ooltewah, East Brainerd, East Ridge, Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Soddy-Daisy, Apison, Collegedale, and Downtown, plus North Georgia communities like Ringgold, Rossville, and Fort Oglethorpe.
