Legacy Scoop – Pet Waste Removal

Why Dog Poop Isn’t Just Gross — It’s a Health Hazard

When most people think of dog poop, they just see a mess to clean up. But the truth is, uncollected pet waste can be far more dangerous than it looks. Dog waste contains harmful bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Giardia, which can contaminate soil and water sources.

In neighborhoods like Irvine and Lake Forest, runoff from lawns often travels into local storm drains — carrying those same bacteria into parks, trails, and waterways. It’s not just unsightly — it’s unhealthy.

At Legacy Scoop, we take this seriously. Our reliable, routine cleanup services keep your yard clean and your family safe, protecting both your home and the environment.

Stay clean. Stay safe. Choose Legacy Scoop — where every scoop makes a difference.

From College Dreams to Clean Lawns: How Legacy Scoop Started

Legacy Scoop began with one simple mission: to make life easier for pet owners — and to help fund my college education.

As an 18-year-old college student in Irvine, I wanted to build something meaningful — a business that helped people while teaching me real-world responsibility. Dog poop scooping may not sound glamorous, but it’s a service that truly makes homeowners smile.

Each yard we clean means more free time for families and a safer space for pets to play. And every client we serve helps me move one step closer to my college goals.

Legacy Scoop isn’t just about clean yards — it’s about building a cleaner, better future.

Reasons to Hire a Lawn Mower and Pooper Scooper Service

Keeping your yard beautiful takes time — and balancing mowing and poop scooping can quickly become a chore. That’s why hiring professionals to handle both is one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make.

Here are the top reasons to combine a lawn mowing and pet waste removal service:

Better Lawn Health

Dog waste contains acids and bacteria that can damage your grass. Regular scooping prevents yellow spots, while consistent mowing keeps your lawn healthy and strong. Together, they maintain a cleaner, greener yard.

Saves You Time

Between school, work, and family, most homeowners don’t have time to keep up with weekly maintenance. A combined service saves hours every month — giving you more time to relax and enjoy your space.

Improves Curb Appeal

A clean, well-cut lawn makes your home look cared for. Whether you’re entertaining guests or maintaining property value, a tidy yard always leaves a great impression.

Protects Family and Pets

Leaving pet waste behind spreads bacteria and parasites that can affect your loved ones. A professional scooping service keeps your lawn safe and hygienic.

Stress-Free Maintenance

With one reliable team handling both cleanup and mowing, you get consistent communication, scheduled visits, and zero hassle. At Legacy Scoop, we partner with trusted local lawn care experts to provide complete outdoor maintenance — so you don’t have to juggle multiple services.

What Is Required For Commercial Pet Waste Removal?

For smooth and efficient commercial pet waste removal, a few simple requirements help us deliver the best results. We’ll need access to the property, such as unlocked gates or designated entry points for our team. It’s also helpful to identify high-traffic pet areas like dog parks, shared lawns, or common spaces within apartment communities so we can focus our cleanups where they’re needed most. Regular service—weekly, bi-weekly, or custom scheduling keeps your property consistently clean and prevents waste buildup. Providing access to on-site waste bins or trash disposal areas also helps streamline the process. At Legacy Scoop, we customize our services to fit your property’s exact needs, keeping your space clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.
