What dooty free lawns does

Dooty Free Lawns is a privately held, founder-operated pet waste removal service founded in 2007 by Mike Beardsley and headquartered in Burleson, Texas. The company provides recurring weekly or twice-weekly "poop scooping" visits and one-time yard cleanups to dog-owning households, apartment complexes, condominiums, property management companies, commercial properties, and animal rescue organizations across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex (including Fort Worth, Colleyville, Aledo, Haslet, and Keller). Service delivery is conducted by field technicians who visit customer properties on scheduled days, bag the waste, and deposit it in the customer's trash or haul it offsite, with all tools and footwear disinfected between yards to prevent cross-property disease transmission. Add-on offerings include same-day/next-day emergency pickups and offsite waste hauling.

The company operates a subscription-based revenue model priced by dog count and visit frequency, ranging from $67/month (1 dog, weekly) to $175/month (4+ dogs, twice-weekly), with a $67 flat-fee one-time cleanup option. All recurring service is billed monthly in advance; first-time neglected yards carry a $10–$15 surcharge. Payment is collected via Visa, MasterCard, Discover, check, or cash, and special rates are available for rescues, HOAs, and commercial accounts. Customer acquisition is entirely direct-to-consumer: prospects reach the business by phone (817-269-9637) or through the website (dootyfreelawns.com), with onboarding completable in approximately two minutes and no contractual obligations. The business is bootstrapped with no external funding, no app, no proprietary technology stack, and no disclosed digital marketing beyond organic search and word-of-mouth; it has generated limited earned media via NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth and MSNBC under the segment title "What a Crappy Job." With 1–10 employees, Dooty Free Lawns is a micro local service business rather than a scalable platform, and its economics are constrained by manual labor and route density within a single metro market.
