Yardsweepers

What Yardsweepers does

Yardsweepers is a privately held, locally owned pet waste removal and management company founded circa 2006 and headquartered in the Triangle Area of North Carolina (Cary/Raleigh). The company provides recurring and one-time pet waste removal, pet waste station installation and maintenance, goose poop removal, yard deodorizing, pet-safe landscape treatment, and commercial trash receptacle cleaning to both residential homeowners and commercial clients — specifically apartment communities, HOAs, condominiums, townhomes, business parks, and shopping centers. Service delivery is performed by professional field staff with biodegradable disposal per local guidelines, supported by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a quote-based pricing model.

Underlying technology is non-proprietary: the business operates as a service company using specialized equipment and eco-friendly treatment products, with no disclosed platform, app, or software stack. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer and sales-led, combining phone sales, website quote forms, an apartment-community referral program offering 20% off, and organic social media presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The recurring service contracts (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) and pet station maintenance agreements form the core revenue base, supplemented by a franchise channel (~$53K initial investment, $25K franchise fee) intended for national geographic expansion beyond the Triangle region.
