Backpacks, Carpools, After-School Chaos… Who Has Time to Scoop the Yard?
The school year is in full swing. Between drop-offs, sports practice, homework, and dinners, your days are packed. One thing that’s easy to forget? Cleaning up after the dog.
At Major Piles, we know fall is one of the busiest seasons for families, which is why we make it easy to keep your yard clean and your time free. Because when life gets chaotic, the last thing you need is to step in something you didn’t see coming.
Why Pet Waste Gets Ignored During Busy Seasons
Families Are Stretched Thin
Your to-do list is long and poop scooping isn’t exactly top of mind. We get it. When things get busy, routine yard cleanup is often the first thing to fall through the cracks.
More Yard Use = More Mess
With cooler weather and school schedules changing, kids and pets are outside more than ever. That means more playtime, more foot traffic, and unfortunately, more poop.
Poop Piles Up Faster Than You Think
Miss a day or two, and suddenly your yard is a minefield. Especially with multiple dogs, waste can build up quickly, leading to an unhealthy and unpleasant environment.
What Happens When You Skip Yard Cleanup
Health Risks for Kids and Pets
Dog waste carries bacteria and parasites like E. coli and roundworms that can survive in soil. Barefoot kids or curious pups are at risk of exposure if cleanup is neglected.
Lawn Damage and Lingering Odors
Too much waste can kill your grass, attract flies, and make the whole yard stink—especially in the Houston heat.
A Bad First Impression for Visitors
From playdates to grandparents stopping by, no one wants to be the house where guests step in something they’ll never forget.
