Im talking about dog droppings. what do you guys do in yards with heavy droppings? Pick up or just mow over them? Mowing over could be messy and who wants that all over their gear?

I will not do a yard that is full if it.
Or I tell them it is a extra charge.

The wind is blowing you mow over a good size pile of dog chit you turn right to start your next pass grass clipping and other things blow in your face.

That's not coffee you taste.

I was just curious. Is it beneficial to the grass or damaging? I know dog urine is hard on grass.

It defiantly does. I used to make our dogs food and the crap would just wash away in the rain. Now we have been giving the store bought food again and it stays around forever.

I tell them either pick it up or forget it. I don't want dog crap all over my equipment.

Your missing out on easy money :)
Nope... my customers with dogs can pick it up themselves. I specify upfront that I'm not performing yard cleaning or pooper scooper services.

Well :) I understand you don't wanna deal with it. I tell everyone of my customers if there is dog poo I will clean it up and will charge them for it. It's gross to run over grosser to step in and even nastier if you accidently hit a pile with the weed wacker.... Also if I have to run around and pick up things out of the yard like tons of kids toys its $5 charge
