Poo Squad Austin picks up dog poop in Lakeway, TX. Your local Poo Squad crew is based in the Austin area and comes out to Lakeway for recurring dog poop removal, one time cleanups, yard deodorizing, commercial pet waste removal and event pooper scooper services. You get a clean yard. We get the bucket.
You know the drill. You step out to enjoy that Hill Country evening, and something squishes. Lakeway yards are made for dogs, and dogs make a lot of, well, landmines. That's where we come in.
Where Lakeway Dogs Live, Sniff and Roam
Lakeway isn't one big subdivision. It's a patchwork of neighborhoods with very different yards. We know dog poop in all of them. Unfortunately.
- Rough Hollow and Lakeway Highlands: the city counts roughly 2,086 acres in this development area. That's a lot of yards. And a lot of dogs.
- The Hills of Lakeway and Flintrock Falls: golf course country, with tidy lawns that show every pile.
- Bella Montagna, Serene Hills and The Preserve at Lakeway: roomy homes and view lots, which means more ground to search.
- Cardinal Hills and Travis Settlement: established streets where the neighborhood dogs have opinions about everyone's mailbox.
Big lot or small courtyard, the job's the same. We walk the whole yard, scoop every pile and haul it away. You don't have to touch a bag.
Bark Park and the Trails Around Hurst Creek
Ask a Lakeway dog where it wants to go. The answer is probably City Park at 502 Hurst Creek Road. The Bark Park is a fenced area inside City Park. Drive down to the lower level and you'll spot it on the left. There's a pet water station for thirsty pups.
The Bark Park has a few house rules worth knowing:
- Keep your eyes on your dog the whole time.
- Toss your dog's waste in the doggy pot container on site.
- Bring no more than two dogs into the enclosure at once.
- Leash and unleash in the designated area.
City Park also has a beach, a butterfly garden, a wildflower meadow and Ranger Field. It's open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. during Daylight Saving Time and closes at 8 p.m. in Standard Time.
Want a longer walk? The Smith Greenbelt and the Canyonlands trails wind along Hurst Creek and Yaupon Creek. You can get in at Lohmans Crossing, across from the Justice Center, or off Palos Verdes Drive. The city's own parks guide calls it a great spot for time with the family dog, on a leash, of course. Hikers also love the Hurst Hollow Loop for its views of Hurst Creek and Lake Travis. Fair warning: it's rocky in spots.
Lakeway's Dog Rules, in Plain English
Here's the part most people skip. Lakeway's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 4, Article 4.02 (Animal Protection), lists a domestic animal that soils or defecates on property as a public nuisance when the mess isn't cleaned up within a reasonable time. And that includes, in the code's words, "the property of the owner of the animal." Yes, your own backyard counts.
A few more rules from the same article:
- Leashes in parks. A dog in a park or public recreation area needs a leash or similar restraint. The Bark Park enclosure is your off leash zone.
- No running at large. A dog that isn't on a leash, under control or securely fenced counts as at large.
- Impound is real. Per the city's pet registration page, dogs caught running at large go to the city's animal protection shelter and are held for up to three days.
See a loose animal? The city asks you to call (512) 261-2800 and report where it is. If your neighborhood has an HOA, it may have its own pet rules on top of the city's. Our guide to HOA dog rules covers what usually shows up.
Lakeway's Deer Share Your Yard, Too
Lakeway is known for its white-tail deer. The city keeps a whole page about Lakeway's deer herd. Feeding them is against the law under Section 4.03.002. Breaking that rule is a Class C misdemeanor with a fine of $1 to $500.
Deer wander through plenty of Lakeway yards. So when you find droppings, it isn't always your dog's handiwork. Our backyard animal poop identification guide helps you tell who left what. The dog piles? That's our department.
Pet Places Worth Knowing in Lakeway
Lakeway has its own rescue group, 365 Pet Connection. Their mission is keeping animals out of kill shelters through rescue, fostering, networking and long range transport. If you just adopted, welcome to the fun part. A new dog means a new poop routine.

Why Your Lakeway Yard Needs More Than a Rainstorm
Rain doesn't make dog poop disappear. It spreads it around. Lakeway has Hurst Creek and Yaupon Creek winding through its greenbelts, and nobody wants yard runoff heading their way. Here's the honest answer on rain and dog poop.
Regular pickup fixes that. No piles, no runoff worries, no surprise squish. Want the yard to smell fresh, too? Add yard deodorizing after the scoop.
