Fence removal in Edmond done the right way

When you are ready to get an old fence out of the way, you want it gone completely, not half pulled up with posts still in the ground. Legendary Fence Company Edmond focuses on full fence removal and haul away, not just quick cut-and-run tear outs. We work across Edmond and north Oklahoma City, including older neighborhoods with tight alleys and newer additions with HOA rules.

Our crew starts with a walkthrough of your yard so we understand where sprinkler lines, French drains, septic systems, and shallow utilities might be. In Edmond, a lot of older wood fences sit right over irrigation lines or cable drops that were added later. We ask what you know about what is buried, look for visual clues, and, when needed, adjust our removal method to avoid hitting anything.

From there, we plan how to get the fence out with the least damage to your lawn and landscaping. For small backyards in places like Chimney Hill, we may hand carry panels out through a side gate. On acreage properties north of Covell, we might use equipment to speed things up. The goal is the same either way: remove the fence and leave your property ready for whatever comes next, whether that is a new fence, sod, or construction.

Step-by-step: how we remove and haul away your old fence

A typical fence removal project with Legendary Fence Company Edmond follows a clear process so you know what is happening from start to finish.

First, we disconnect any attached items. This includes gates, latches, decorative hardware, privacy screens, string lights, animal enclosures, or pool safety alarms. If there are shared sections with a neighbor, we coordinate where the fence will stop so there are no surprises.

Next, we take down the panels or pickets. For wood privacy fences, we usually pull pickets first, then rails, then posts. For chain link, we remove tension wire and hardware, roll up the fabric in sections, and stack it for hauling. Metal or vinyl panels are removed in whole sections when possible so fewer small pieces end up in your yard.

Post removal is the part most homeowners underestimate. In Edmond, many fence posts are set in concrete, and on clay soil that concrete can sit like a plug in the ground. We use post pullers, digging tools, and in some cases small equipment to remove the entire post and the bulk of the footing. Where full removal would cause avoidable damage to tree roots or utilities, we cut the post below grade and backfill so it will not interfere with future work.

Once the fence is down, we gather nails, screws, brackets, and broken concrete. We sweep the work area with magnets to pick up metal, especially important if you have kids or pets. All fence material is loaded into our trailers, including posts, concrete chunks, and hardware, so you are not left with a pile at the curb.

Finally, we haul everything away for proper disposal or recycling. Usable metal from chain link or steel fences is separated. Pressure-treated wood is handled so it does not end up in your regular household trash. You are left with a cleared line where the fence used to be and a site ready for the next project.

What affects the cost of fence removal in Edmond

Fence removal cost is driven by more than just how many feet of fence you have. When Legendary Fence Company Edmond prices a job, we explain exactly what factors matter so you can compare bids fairly.

Fence type and construction come first. A 4-foot chain link fence without concrete footings is faster to remove than an 8-foot privacy fence built with heavy posts and deep concrete. Decorative stone or brick columns mixed into a wood fence line up the labor and disposal cost significantly because of the weight and time involved.

Post depth and footing size are the next big items. In parts of Edmond with softer soil, some older fences have shallow posts in small concrete collars. Those come out easier. Newer fences, especially around newer subdivisions west of I-35, often have posts set deeper with larger concrete footings. That adds time and sometimes requires equipment, which shows up in the price.

Access matters too. If the only way in and out is a narrow gate on a sloped yard, the crew has to hand carry everything, which takes longer. Corner lots with alley access or wide side yards are usually more efficient. We look at parking options, distance to the trailer, and obstacles like decks, sheds, or pools to get a realistic labor estimate.

Disposal volume is another cost driver. Old wood that is rotted or broken cannot be reused and goes straight to disposal. Chain link fabric, metal posts, and some hardware can often be recycled, which can help keep costs reasonable. Large quantities of concrete, especially if the fence line is long, are heavy and increase dump fees.

Finally, timing and add-ons affect the total. If you want removal to happen immediately before a new fence installation, we coordinate schedules. If you only need partial removal, such as just the back line or only gate sections, we adjust the price to reflect the actual work, not a flat per-foot number that ignores reality.

Common fence removal challenges in Edmond and how we handle them

Removing fences in Edmond, OK brings a few recurring issues, and being ready for them keeps your project on track. Legendary Fence Company Edmond has dealt with most of them many times.

Underground utilities are the first concern. Many older neighborhoods have a mix of documented and undocumented lines. We strongly recommend that you or our team submit an Oklahoma One-Call (811) request before any deep digging or post extraction. In some cases, markings are not exact, so we still dig carefully around posts in flagged areas and may hand dig instead of using mechanical pullers.

Edmond clay soil creates another challenge. In wet seasons the clay can grip concrete footings tightly, and in dry spells the ground can crack and leave voids around posts. We adjust methods based on current soil conditions. After removal, we backfill holes with soil and compact lightly so you do not end up with ankle-twisting voids along the fence line.

Shared fences between neighbors can cause tension if expectations are not managed. When a fence sits on the property line, we encourage our client to talk with the neighbor in advance so everyone is clear on where removal will start and stop. If you like, we can leave a temporary barrier in key spots for pets until a new fence goes in.

Landscaping and tree roots are another frequent issue. Many fence lines in Edmond run close to mature trees or through beds with shrubs and rock. Instead of ripping everything out, we cut posts and rails in smaller sections to work around plants. Where big roots have grown around concrete footings, we decide with you whether to protect the tree and cut posts below grade or remove the footing and risk some root disturbance.

Finally, there is the mess. Cutting, pulling, and breaking apart an old fence generates scrap, splinters, and metal pieces. We plan cleanup as part of the job, not an afterthought. We tarp loading areas when needed, use magnets to find nails, and rake the disturbed strip so the yard is safe and usable right away.

Preparing for your fence removal and what to expect on job day

A little preparation on your end makes fence removal smoother and faster. Legendary Fence Company Edmond will give you a clear schedule and arrival window so you know when to expect us.

Before we come out, we ask that you unlock gates, secure pets indoors or in a separate area, and remove personal items from the fence line. This includes lawn furniture, kid toys, grills, potted plants, and anything hanging from the fence. If you have vines or plantings you want to save, we talk through what is realistic. Sometimes we can carefully detach trellises or tie plants back so they are not crushed.

On job day, the crew lead will walk the line with you, confirm exactly what is being removed, and point out any tricky spots such as retaining walls, sections that back up to a neighbor’s pool, or areas with obvious utility boxes and lines. If weather is a concern, especially after heavy rain that softens the ground, we may adjust how we move materials to avoid deep ruts.

During removal, you can stay inside or head out. We only need you available by phone or on-site for decisions about unexpected findings, such as hidden damage behind ivy, buried concrete that extends beyond the fence line, or property line questions. If you are planning a new fence with us, we will also mark and discuss any grade changes or drainage issues we notice once the old fence is out of the way.

At the end of the job, we walk the site with you. You will see where posts were removed or cut, how holes were backfilled, and that all debris is loaded for haul away. If this is a stand-alone fence removal with no immediate new installation, we can offer simple suggestions on how to maintain the cleared strip, such as light compaction, reseeding, or temporary barriers for pets until permanent solutions are in place.
