Fence Removal in Austin, TX
Wood, chain link, metal and vinyl fences taken down and hauled away, gates included. Posts and their footings come out too if you ask.
The old fence, gone from the property line
A fence that leans, has rotted at the base or is simply in the way of what you want to build next is one of the jobs in our demolition work. We take the fence down, load every panel, rail and post that comes out, and haul it off.

What changes the price of fence removal
Your free on-site quote gives you one price before the work is booked. These are the things that move it.
Length of the fence
A short run along one side of a yard is less fence to take down and haul than a fence around the whole lot.
Material and height
Wood, chain link, metal and vinyl come down differently and load differently, and a taller fence is more material.
Posts and footings
Leaving posts cut at ground level and pulling every footing out of the ground are different amounts of work.
What is next to the fence
Plantings, a slope or a structure close to the fence line, and how a truck reaches it, are part of every fence quote.
Before the fence comes down
If the fence stands on a line you share with a neighbor, settle with them that it is coming down before the work date. Whose fence it is and where the line runs are questions for the owners, not for a removal crew.
Whether a city requires a permit to take a fence down is set by that city, and the property owner confirms it with the city before the work date. The guide to demolition permits in Central Texas collects the published demolition rules of the cities it covers, with sources and read dates.
Fence removal frequently asked questions
Do you remove the posts and concrete footings?
Yes, on request. Tell us whether you want the posts pulled with their footings or the fence alone, and the quote will say which.
Can you take out one section and leave the rest?
Yes. Show us at the on-site quote which run of fence is coming out and where it stops.
The fence is shared with a neighbor. What do I need to do?
Agree with your neighbor that it is coming down before you book. That conversation is between the two owners.
Do I need a permit to take down a fence?
It depends on the city where the property sits, and the city is the authority on it. Published demolition rules for the cities around Austin, with sources and read dates, are in the Central Texas demolition permit guide.
How much does fence removal cost in Austin?
There is no fixed price; it depends on the length, the material and whether the posts come out. No published figure for fence removal held up well enough to repeat here; our demolition cost guide has the ones that did. For your fence, call (512) 522-3569 or request a free on-site quote online.
