The work

Somebody has to move the old fence

A fence run is a lot more material than it looks like standing up. A hundred feet of privacy fence is roughly four hundred pickets, a stack of rails, a dozen posts and whatever concrete came out of the ground with them. It will not fit in a pickup and it will not fit in your trash cart.

Some fence builders haul the old one off. Plenty do not, or they charge for it, or they stack it at the curb and it sits there for two weeks. That is where we come in. We pull the fence, we pull the posts, and the whole run leaves on the dump trailer.

We also take down fence that nobody is replacing. Opening a yard up, taking out an interior cross fence, clearing a line for a shop pad or a driveway, dealing with a run that a storm laid over.

Materials

What kind of fence you have changes the day

  • Cedar and pine privacy fence

    Pickets, rails, posts and gates. The common one in Hays and Comal County, and the one that rots at the bottom of the post first.

  • Chain link

    Fabric, top rail, tension bars, gate frames and the pipe posts set in concrete. It rolls up heavy and it does not want to fit anywhere.

  • Wrought iron and tube steel

    Panels cut loose from the posts, posts pulled out of the footings. Heavy per foot and awkward to carry.

  • Storm damaged runs

    Sections flat in the yard with the posts snapped off at grade. Broken pickets, hardware and the brush that came down with them.

Gates, hardware, hog wire, cattle panel, lattice toppers and the concrete that comes up with the posts all go on the same trailer.

Real job

New Braunfels, June 2026

Old pickets and brush stacked at the curb, ready to load. The new cedar fence behind the pile is another contractor's work. The pile is the part we handle.

This is what a fence job looks like when the building crew is done and the hauling has not happened yet. Old pickets, broken rails and the brush that came out of the fence line, all sitting between the new fence and the street.

It went out on the trailer. Photos are GPS tagged in New Braunfels, Comal County, June 2026.

Pricing

What changes the price

Linear feet

The base measurement. Measure the run in feet, or step it off and give us your best count.

Material

Cedar pickets load light and fast. Chain link and iron are heavy. Concrete footings are the heaviest thing on the trailer.

Posts in or out

Cutting a fence loose and leaving the posts is one price. Pulling every post and footing out of the ground is another.

Ground and access

A flat yard with the trailer at the gate is quick. A back fence on a slope, behind a pool, or a hundred feet from the driveway is not.

Stand at one end, take a photo down the run, and send it when you call. Footage plus material plus a picture is usually enough.

Before we start

Lines, corners and neighbors

Call 811 first

Fence posts go in the ground and so do gas, water, electric and communications lines. Texas law requires a locate before excavation and 811 is free. Pulling posts counts.

Sprinklers and low voltage

Irrigation lateral lines, drip tubing, landscape lighting and invisible dog fence wire run along fence lines constantly and none of them show up on an 811 locate. Flag what you know about before the day.

Shared and boundary fences

If the fence is on a property line, settle it with the neighbor first. If you are not sure where the line falls, your survey does. We remove what the customer tells us to remove.

Fence removal questions

Do the posts and concrete footings come out?
Yes if you want them out. Wood posts set in concrete usually come up with the footing still attached, which leaves a hole to backfill. Steel posts sometimes have to be cut at grade instead. Tell us whether a new fence is going back in the same line, because that changes which way we do it.
My fence company built the new fence and left the old one stacked. Can you just haul it?
Yes, and that is a normal call. Pickets, rails, posts, concrete chunks and gate hardware go on the trailer and leave. The New Braunfels job on this page was exactly that kind of pile.
Do you take chain link and wrought iron?
Yes. Chain link fabric, top rail, tension bars and pipe posts all go, and so do iron panels and tube steel. Metal is heavy per foot, so a long run of it prices differently than pickets.
Do I need my neighbor to agree?
If the fence sits on the property line and is shared, that is a conversation to have with the neighbor before the day we show up. We take down what you tell us to take down, and we would rather not be standing between two neighbors sorting it out.
What about the brush growing through the fence line?
It comes out with the fence. Vines, hackberry saplings, limbs and the shrubs planted tight against the pickets all load on the same trailer. See yard waste and brush removal.
Can you do it before the new fence crew starts?
That is the usual order. Old fence out, debris gone, line clear, then the new fence goes up on open ground. Call with the date the fence crew is scheduled and we will work off that.
How is fence removal priced?
By the run. Linear feet, what it is built out of, whether the posts and footings come out, how the yard sits and how far the material has to be carried to the trailer. Call (210) 723-9325 with the footage and the material.

Clear the fence line

Give us the footage, the material and the city. That is most of the estimate.
