What New Jersey Dog Owners Say
70+ Five-Star Reviews from Happy New Jersey Families
Serving Every Corner of Garwood, NJ
From the numbered streets on the north side to the fields by Unami Park on the south side, we keep Garwood yards clean and ready for your family to enjoy.
Garwood yards work hard. Between quick potty breaks before hopping on the train or bus, kids running around after school, and weekends at Hartman Park or Unami Park, your grass and patio take a beating. Our job is simple: keep Garwood, NJ dog owners' yards clean so you never have to think about dog poop again.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We service single‑family homes, duplexes, and tight backyards across this under‑one‑square‑mile borough. On the north side of town, near Hartman Park, Georgiana Memorial Park, and the numbered streets off Second and Fourth Avenues, smaller lots and fenced yards fill up fast, which means odors, flies, and "landmines" getting tracked straight into the house if you fall behind.
North Side
Near Hartman Park, Georgiana Memorial Park, and the numbered streets off Second and Fourth Avenues, smaller lots and fenced yards fill up fast, which means odors, flies, and "landmines" getting tracked straight into the house if you fall behind.
South Side
Closer to Unami Park, the Garwood Sports and Recreation Complex on Myrtle Avenue, and the tree‑lined blocks off South Avenue, deeper yards, shade, and landscaping beds make it easy for piles to hide in grass, mulch, and leaves until someone steps in them.
We set your cleanup schedule based on how your specific yard actually behaves, not a generic one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
Efficient Service Routes
Garwood has a small‑town, walkable feel. Residents can stroll to the NJ Transit Garwood Station, local spots along North Avenue and South Avenue, neighborhood parks, and the Sports and Recreation Complex without getting in the car. What you should not have to do is come home and spend your limited free time hunting for dog waste in your own lawn.
Our techs run tight, repeatable routes through Garwood, from the north‑side blocks around Hartman Park and Georgiana Memorial Park down to the streets by Unami Park and the ballfields at the Sports Complex.
That lets us keep arrival windows predictable instead of "sometime on Tuesday."
Thorough, Season-Aware Service
Every visit follows a set pattern. We walk your yard in a deliberate grid, paying extra attention to high‑traffic zones like patio edges, play sets, dog paths, gates, and along fences and property lines. We pick up every pile, bag it, and remove it from your property.
Spring rains turn low spots into muddy poop zones, summer heat bakes in odor in tight backyards, and fall leaves around big trees and hedges make it easy to miss piles, so we adjust our approach by season rather than just walking a quick line and leaving.
From the numbered streets on the north side to the fields by Unami Park on the south side, if you live in Garwood, NJ and have a dog, we can keep your yard as clean as the parks your dog loves. You relax. We handle the gross part.
