Ankeny is one of the larger places we serve, 45,582 residents over 29.38 square miles, so we are in town every weekday rather than on a single route day. Density runs about 1,552 people per square mile, so most yards are a normal residential lot, usually fenced, usually walkable in a few minutes if you actually cover it twice. The Des Moines crew is about 9.7 miles out, close enough that Ankeny sits on an established weekly route.
A typical Ankeny yard takes one grid pass and then a second from the other direction, which is what catches the ones that blend into the grass. Gates are latched behind us and you get a text when we are clear.
Ankeny homes can book weekly, twice-a-week, bi-weekly or a one-time cleanup, and the same crew covers commercial properties in Polk County: HOAs, apartment grounds and any business with a pet-friendly patch of grass.
The Ankeny figures above come from Wikidata (Q556989), and the 9.7 miles is straight-line distance to our Des Moines crew rather than a drive time.
