Straightforward Fence Removal in High Point, NC
When a fence is rotted, leaning, or no longer fits how you use your yard, taking it down the right way matters. Legendary Fence Company High Point offers complete fence removal and haul away for wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and welded wire fences across High Point and nearby areas. We focus on safe takedown, clean results, and clear communication about cost and timing.
In the High Point climate, we see a lot of wood fences that have rotted at the posts or warped from years of humidity and storms. We also remove old chain link around older properties and damaged sections from storm or tree impact. Our job is to get the structure out of your way without tearing up your yard, leaving nails or concrete, or surprising you with hidden fees.
We handle single-property removals, full perimeter fence tear-outs, and partial removals where you want to keep some sections and replace others. Whether you are preparing for a new fence, a pool, a property sale, or just want a clear view again, we tailor the removal plan to what you plan to do with the space next.
How Our Fence Removal and Haul Away Process Works
Our process is built to be predictable so you know exactly what will happen on your property.
1. Site visit and assessment: A Legendary Fence Company High Point team member walks the fence line with you, looks at post depth, concrete, access points, slopes, and anything near the fence like utilities, sheds, landscaping, or neighbor structures. We confirm what must go, what stays, and where trucks or trailers can park.
2. Fixed written estimate: We provide a written quote that lists labor, equipment, dump or recycling fees, and any extra items like brush clearing around the fence or removal of hidden wire mesh. You know the total expected cost before work starts.
3. Scheduling and neighbor coordination: For shared fences or tight neighborhoods in High Point, we can schedule around your neighbors and coordinate access to side yards if needed. If property lines are unclear, we recommend you confirm them first to avoid disputes.
4. Safe takedown: Our crew removes panels or sections first, then posts. On wood fences, we pull or cut fasteners so nails and screws do not end up in your lawn. On metal fences, we cut sections into manageable pieces so we can carry them out without damaging siding, AC units, or vehicles.
5. Post and concrete removal: Where requested, we dig out or break down concrete footers. If you are planning a new fence, we focus on removing or cutting out old posts in a way that makes the new install easier and keeps the line consistent.
6. Haul away and disposal: All debris goes directly into our truck or trailer. We separate recyclables like metal where practical and dispose of treated wood at appropriate facilities in accordance with local regulations.
7. Final cleanup and walk-through: We rake the disturbed areas, magnet sweep where there were a lot of metal fasteners, and do a final walk-through with you to confirm nothing was missed.
What Drives the Cost of Fence Removal in High Point
Fence removal pricing is driven by a handful of predictable factors. During the estimate, Legendary Fence Company High Point explains each one so you can see what is affecting your total.
Fence type and material: Old pressure-treated wood, privacy panels, and board-on-board designs are heavier and more labor intensive than a light picket or split rail. Chain link with steel posts set in large concrete footers also takes more time and equipment.
Fence length and height: More linear feet means more posts and more debris. Taller fences usually use heavier posts and larger concrete. We measure your actual fence line instead of guessing so the quote matches the real work.
Post depth and concrete: Posts set 2 feet deep in minimal concrete are faster to pull than posts set 3 feet deep in oversized footers. On some older High Point properties we find “deadman” style concrete, where a large block is buried horizontally, and we factor that extra removal effort into the quote.
Access to the fence line: A fence with easy access for wheelbarrows or small machinery costs less to remove than one squeezed between buildings or behind steep slopes. Narrow gates, retaining walls, and heavy landscaping can slow removal and affect labor time.
Disposal requirements: Heavily rotted, painted, or treated wood has to be handled differently than clean, modern materials. Metal fencing is often recyclable, which can offset part of the disposal cost. We figure these details into one clear price so you do not see add-ons after the job starts.
Optional add-ons: Stump grinding from trees that grew through the fence, removal of vines or brush, and grading of the old fence line are optional services. We list them separately so you can decide what you want now and what can wait.
Common Issues We Solve During Fence Removal
Most problematic fence removals in High Point share a few patterns. Legendary Fence Company High Point has strategies for each so your project does not stall halfway.
Concrete that will not budge: Older fences often used large, overbuilt footers. We use post pullers, digging bars, and in some cases cut the concrete into sections to remove it safely. If complete removal would risk nearby utilities or structures, we can cut posts below grade and cap the concrete so it does not interfere with your future plans.
Roots, vines, and overgrowth: Kudzu, ivy, and shrubs often swallow fence lines in this area. Before removal, we cut and clear enough vegetation to expose posts and rails. This reduces the risk of pulling roots that might destabilize nearby soil or damage irrigation lines.
Hidden wire and mesh: Many older wood fences in High Point have wire mesh attached on the inside to keep pets in. We inspect the fence from both sides to locate hidden wire, then remove it in strips so it does not tangle or become a tripping hazard.
Shared property and boundary confusion: When fences sit on or near the property line, we encourage owners to confirm surveys or property records before we remove anything. If both neighbors want the fence gone, we can prepare a written scope that each signs so everyone agrees what is being removed and who is paying what share.
Structures and utilities nearby: AC units, gas meters, low electrical lines, and cable lines are often within a few feet of old fences. Our crew locates visible utilities and works by hand in these sections, without heavy equipment, to avoid damage. For underground utilities near post locations, we can coordinate with utility marking services before deep digging.
Preparing for Fence Removal on Your Property
You can help your fence removal go faster and smoother with a few simple steps before our crew arrives.
Clear access paths: Move vehicles, trailers, lawn equipment, and trash cans away from the fence line and gate areas we will use. In many High Point neighborhoods, side yards are narrow, so having a clear path for carrying materials out makes a big difference.
Remove personal items: Take planters, decorations, lighting, and anything attached to the fence off at least one day before your appointment. If you have wires stapled to the fence for lighting, cameras, or speakers, let us know in advance so we can plan to detach or avoid them.
Secure pets and plan containment: If your fence is currently keeping pets in, plan how you will contain them once the fence comes down. Some homeowners in High Point use temporary dog runs or leashes during removal and replacement. We can schedule removal and new installation close together to minimize the open yard time.
Plan for ground conditions: After fence removal, you may be left with disturbed soil where posts and concrete came out. Decide whether you want us to backfill holes only, or also rough grade and seed the area, or leave it ready for a new fence install. Having that decision made ahead of time prevents delays.
Think about what comes next: If you are replacing the fence, we can line up your new installation so the old fence is removed only shortly before the new posts go in. If you are opening your yard permanently, we can remove leftover brackets on your house or structures and advise on patching or painting those areas.
