landscaper issue, looking for opinion.

[Descant]

My landscaper of many years has never mentioned the dog, except to say he's reluctant to put a lot of chemicals on the grass because of the dog. Sticks, leaves, grass, dog poop, whatever, all gets picked up mechanically and goes someplace to be composted. We tip, usually, at the conclusion of a major job (hardscape projects, drain and clean the fish pond, etc) a few times a season.
