A backyard near Manlius in late May is a busy place — kids, dogs, a swing set, and grass trying to grow up through all of it. Dog Doody Duty LLC keeps yards like that in order: mowing, trimming along fences and play equipment, edging the walks, and cleanups when the season turns over. The goal was never a showpiece lawn; it's a yard a family can actually walk out into barefoot on a Tuesday evening. Onondaga County summers are short and everybody knows it, so the weeks between May and September get used. Manlius, Fayetteville, Jamesville, Kirkville and the towns around them.
