Ladue has a reputation: stately homes, mature trees, large wooded lots, and some of the most well-kept yards in Missouri. If you've got a dog — or two, or three — you already know that "well-kept" and "dog poop everywhere" don't mix.
The problem is that most pet waste services either don't come to Ladue, or they come sporadically and never tell you when. You end up checking the yard yourself only to find out they skipped you again. That's where we're different.
Tidy Tails is a locally-owned St. Louis pet waste removal company. We serve all of 63124 with flat-rate weekly service — same price every month, no surprises, no yard-size surcharges even on Ladue's larger properties. And we text you before every single visit.
We Cover All of Ladue (63124)
Whether you're on a one-acre wooded lot off Warson Road or a corner lot near the Clayton border, we've got you covered. Here's how we think about Ladue's neighborhoods:
Why Ladue Homeowners Use Tidy Tails
1. Larger yards mean more accumulation — but the price doesn't change
Ladue properties skew large. More grass means more territory for your dog to cover, and more territory means poop scattered across a bigger area. Most per-visit services charge more for large properties. We don't. Our flat rate is the same whether your yard is 2,000 square feet or a full acre.
2. Busy professionals who want it handled without thinking about it
Ladue has a lot of dual-income households where both partners work demanding careers. Nobody wants to spend Sunday afternoon cleaning up the yard. At $2.30/day, this is exactly the kind of task that makes sense to delegate — permanently.
3. Landscapers and lawn crews need a clean yard to work in
If you have a landscaping crew that comes weekly or bi-weekly, you already know the awkward dance of trying to pick up before they arrive. We'll coordinate with your schedule — service before crew day, no extra charge. Your landscapers will notice, and your yard will look exactly like it should after they leave.
4. Spring in St. Louis is brutal on large lots
Ladue's large lots are beautiful. They're also massive accumulation zones. A 3–4 month Missouri winter on a half-acre lot with two dogs means hundreds of deposits all revealed at once when the snow melts. We do one-time spring cleanups starting at $75 if you just need to reset before the season starts.
5. Nobody else texts you before they come
This sounds simple. It is simple. But no other pet waste service in Ladue does it consistently. We send an "On My Way" text before every visit and an "All Done" text when we leave. You always know your yard was cleaned, even when you're not home. Especially when you're not home.
The Ladue Dog Math
deposits per dog, per year. Two dogs on a large Ladue lot = 600 deposits annually. Three months of Missouri winter = 150+ surfacing in March. Our flat rate means you're paying $2.30 per day for a clean yard all year — whether your lot is a quarter-acre or more.

What Ladue Customers Say
"We have two golden retrievers and about three-quarters of an acre in 63124. I was skeptical a flat rate would actually mean flat rate on a property this size — but it did. Same $70 a month. They come every Wednesday, text us both when they're on their way, and the whole wooded back section gets done. That was always the part I'd skip when I did it myself. Absolutely worth it."
"My landscaping crew comes on Fridays. Franklin — that's what I call the owner — comes Thursday. Every single week. I mentioned once I needed them before the lawn crew and that was it, never had to say it again. The yard looks the way it should. That's all I need."
Situations We Handle in Ladue
Large wooded lots
Ladue's wooded properties can have significant accumulation under tree canopies and in back corners that don't get regular foot traffic. We walk the whole yard — not just the visible lawn area. Flat rate covers everything, including those tucked-away spots.
Landscaper coordination
A lot of Ladue properties have regular landscaping crews. We'll schedule before your crew's day so they never have to work around anything. You tell us once. We keep the schedule without reminders.
Gate access on estate properties
Some Ladue properties have gated entries, keypad access, or specific protocols for service vendors. We handle all of that during setup — codes, access timing, parking logistics. No week-to-week friction.
Post-winter spring cleanup
Missouri winters are hard on large lots. Three or four months of snow cover means everything accumulates under the surface and surfaces all at once in March. If you've walked out back recently, you know the scene. One-time spring cleanups start at $75 — no ongoing commitment required.
Pre-listing yard cleanup
If you're selling your home, the backyard matters. Listing photos, walk-throughs, and open houses all happen in the yard — and nothing kills a showing like the wrong smell. We do fast one-time cleanups for homes going on the market, often within 24–48 hours.
Is Weekly Service Worth It for Ladue?
