New to deer poop - help!
Hi everyone!
We are new to a neighborhood where deer like to roam at night. Which is magical but also...messy. How do you landscape your front yards to discourage deer? Also, how should I remove deer poop? I've never had a dog so this is a whole new world to me!

WildCare (in San Rafael) has references on living with deer. You could also call them and speak with a specialist for specifics.

Basically, you have to plant foliage and plants that deer don't care for, but there is no 100% deer-proof garden unless it's surrounded with a very high fence. However, you can make the yard far less attractive with a little work.

I don’t think you need to do anything. I have found their pellets generally aren’t anywhere I walk. I didn’t realize I should do anything about it.
