Fence Removal Services in Sacramento, CA

Fence removal is one of the most common demolition projects we handle across the greater Sacramento region, from older neighborhoods near McKinley Park to new subdivisions in Elk Grove and El Dorado Hills. Many homeowners discover old fences are rotting, unstable, or simply no longer fit their landscape plans. Our team specializes in safely removing fences of any material-whether wood planks from 1970s-era Sacramento homes, vinyl fencing common in newer Citrus Heights and Antelope developments, or heavy-gauge chain-link barriers. We dispose of all fence materials responsibly and haul away debris same-day in most cases.

Our fence removal process begins with a site inspection to assess fence height, material type, post depth, and any attached structures like gates or arbors. We then mark utility lines using OSHA-compliant locating procedures to ensure no underground gas, electric, or irrigation lines are damaged. Next, our crew uses power tools and hand equipment to cut fence sections into manageable pieces, remove all posts (typically set 2-3 feet underground), extract concrete footings, and load materials into our trucks. Finally, we haul everything to licensed disposal facilities and leave your property clean and ready for new construction or landscaping.

Our Fence Removal Process

1

Free On-Site Estimate

Utility Locating and Marking

Before any cutting or digging, we contact 811 USA or use professional locating equipment to mark all underground utilities-gas, electric, water, and irrigation-to OSHA safety standards.

3

Fence Demolition and Sectioning

Our crew cuts fence panels into 4-6 foot sections for safe handling, removes all posts using digging equipment or power augers, and extracts concrete footings. This phase typically takes 4-8 hours depending on fence length.

Debris Hauling and Disposal

All fence materials are loaded into our trucks and transported to licensed disposal or recycling facilities in Sacramento County. Metal is separated for scrap value whenever possible.
