When a fence is past repair — rotted posts up and down the line, leaning sections, failed gates — replacing it is usually cheaper than fixing it piece by piece. The quality of a replacement shows in the tear-out as much as the new fence: old posts and concrete pulled, the line cleaned up, and the debris hauled away.

We remove the old fence, deal with the buried footings, confirm the line, and build the new fence to current height rules. We also call Washington 811 before digging, even on a familiar property, because lines and conditions change.

Removing old fence posts and concrete footings in Lakewood, WA

A Clean Tear-Out

  • Old fence, posts and concrete footings removed, not just cut off at grade.
  • Debris and old material hauled away and disposed of.
  • Adjacent landscaping and structures protected during demolition.
  • The new line confirmed before any new post goes in.

How Long Is My Yard Open?

We plan the sequence so your yard is not wide open for days on end — especially important with pets and kids. On many jobs we remove and rebuild in a tight window; where that is not possible, we talk through temporary securing so the yard stays safe.

Upgrade While You Replace

A full replacement is the one time it costs almost nothing extra to fix the things that bugged you about the old fence. Since the crew is already pulling posts and opening the line, you can move to steel posts that will not rot, step up from chain link to a wood or vinyl privacy fence, add a wider gate for the trailer, raise the height for the dog, or shift the line now that you have confirmed the survey. We lay out those options with the replacement so you end up with the fence you actually want, not a copy of the one that just failed.

Fence Replacement & Removal FAQs

Yes. We pull the old posts and concrete rather than cutting them off at grade, because buried footings in the wrong spots make the new fence harder to set true. Removal and haul-away are listed as their own line items.
