Danny Lanier – Lanier Lawn Care

I've been asked to do some crazy things. I've been asked to build fences before. Probably the craziest thing was pick up the dog poop out of her backyard. It's probably the craziest thing I've ever had someone asked me to do.

Davic Ovando – Mower Man Lawn Services

I guess picking up dog poop. It's not something that is a normal job for me. But I had one or two customer’s say, "I have a good, could you pick up the dog poop?" I will say, "Okay. Give me 30, $40 more." He said, "Okay." So they paid me that so I was like, "That's cool."

Shawn Spencer – Spencer’s Lawn Care

I have been asked to pick up dog poop. I just respectively declined. We just tell them we mow grass, we do lawn care. We don't pick up dog poop.
