Who we are
Veteran owned. Family operated. Community driven.
Meet the Tactical Turd Team
Tactical Turd Team is proudly owned by Joel Lydon, a former Army combat medic with a lifelong passion for service. Joel lives in South County St. Louis with his wife, Jessica, and their three boys.
After several years as a health and wellness coach for fellow veterans at the VA, Joel's now on a mission to serve the St. Louis community in a new (and slightly stinkier) way: by helping local pet owners keep their yards clean and their pets happy. Jessica quickly jumped on the turd wagon, using her business administration experience to keep Tactical Turd Team organized, efficient, and running smoothly behind the scenes.
At Tactical Turd Team, we believe in hard work, honest service, and building real relationships with our clients. Whether you're too busy, need a hand, or just really hate dealing with pet waste, we've got your back.

What that means on a Tuesday
Hard work
This is a job somebody has to do on foot, in whatever the weather is doing, every week. There is no clever way around that part.
Honest service
The price list is on the site. Yard too big for the flat rate? You hear that before the first visit, not on the invoice after it.
Real relationships
Joel reads the quote requests and answers the phone. You are not being routed to a call centre in another state.
Joel has been great! Great company for anyone looking to skip picking up the poops! The yard always looks amazing when he's done, he's on time and efficient! Highly recommend

Let us take the yard
Tell us how many dogs and roughly how big the yard is, and we will come back with a price. No sales call, no contract to sign for a one-time cleanup.
