Tools and Safety Measures

Fence removal is safer and faster with the right demolition tools and safety equipment:

  • Reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade for chain link and wrought iron.
  • Circular saw for fencing wood and stubborn rails
  • Car jack, pinch bar, and digging bar for lifting posts and breaking suction.
  • Round point shovel to expose concrete footings and support posts.
  • Work gloves and safety glasses for all crew members.


Crews maintain awareness of power lines, underground pipes, irrigation, and utility boxes. If utilities are close to posts, utility companies may need to be contacted before digging. Always mention these during booking.

Environmental Impact and Responsible Disposal

Fence Removal Services should minimize environmental impact. This service works to recycle items wherever possible:

  • Metal components from chain link, wrought iron, and hardware are routed to metal recycling facilities.
  • Clean, untreated wood may be diverted when options exist; painted or pressure-treated wood is disposed of properly.
  • Vinyl fencing made from polyvinyl chloride is evaluated for recycling, where accepted; otherwise, handled per local rules.


Local government regulations can carry heavy fines for improper dumping. Using a compliant fence demolition service helps ensure materials go to approved facilities rather than risking penalties at the municipal dump.

Posts, Concrete, and Ground Conditions

Fence posts often determine project complexity and labor costs:

  • Posts set in soil or gravel can often be extracted with a car jack, pinch bar, and digging bar.
  • Posts cemented into the ground with large concrete footings may require sectioning for removal.
  • In tight access areas, posts can be cut at grade to reduce manual effort and protect landscaping
  • Cinder blocks or unconventional footings are handled case-by-case basis.


Share if new fencing is planned so the crew can fully extract footings where required by the installer or building permit.

Fence Removal and Recycling FAQs:

Do I need a building permit to remove a fence?

 In most areas, removing an existing fence does not require a building permit, but rules can vary by local government. If the project includes new installation, height changes, or changes at a property line, permits might apply. Confirm local requirements before scheduling.

Yes. Support posts with concrete footings or cinder blocks can be extracted or cut at grade. Extraction methods may include a car jack, digging bar, pinch bar, and heavy-duty equipment when needed. If replacement fencing is planned, full removal is often recommended.

Key factors include total length and height, type of fencing materials, condition of the fence, complexity of post removal, site access for heavy-duty trucks, and required disposal fees. Recycling options for metal and vinyl can also influence labor costs.

Metal from chain link, wrought iron, and hardware components is directed to metal recycling facilities. Clean wood and certain plastics may go to approved recycling facilities when accepted. All remaining materials are taken to a compliant municipal dump. Proper handling avoids heavy fines and reduces environmental impact.

If the fence is small and the posts are loose, DIY might be feasible with work gloves, safety glasses, and basic tools. However, older fences with deep concrete, vinyl fence panels that crack, or tight spaces near power lines and underground pipes are safer with a professional fence removal team using the right tools and safety gear. The professional approach saves manual effort and reduces risk while ensuring thorough property clean-up and strong customer service.
