If you have an old fence sagging, rotting, or in the way of a new project, you do not need a sales pitch. You need it gone, safely and completely. Legendary Fence Company Benton provides fence removal and haul away for homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Benton and Saline County.
We deal with all types of existing fences, including old cedar privacy fences, rotted pine panels, rusted chain link, warped split rail, and bent aluminum or steel. Whether the fence is falling over, buried in vines, or set in concrete, we remove it, clean the site, and haul everything off in one coordinated job.
In central Arkansas, heat, humidity, and storms are hard on fence materials. We see posts broken off at ground level, panels twisted by high winds, and wood so rotten it crumbles when touched. Our team is equipped to handle these conditions without tearing up your yard or leaving sharp debris behind. The goal is simple: when we leave, the fence is gone, the area is safe, and you are ready for whatever comes next, whether that is a new fence, landscaping, or construction.
Fence removal is more than just pulling a few boards. Done wrong, it can leave concrete stubs in the ground, buried metal that will damage lawn equipment, or damaged utility lines. At Legendary Fence Company Benton, the process is structured so nothing important gets missed.
1. Site visit and assessment: We walk the entire fence line with you. We look at length, height, material, how the posts are set (dirt, gravel, or concrete), slope of the yard, and access for trucks or trailers. If any utilities appear close to the fence, we note those right away.
2. Utility and hazard check: If there is any chance that electric, internet, gas, or irrigation lines are near the fence, we contact Arkansas 811 and wait for marks before we use equipment in the ground. This avoids broken lines and surprise repair bills.
3. Section-by-section teardown: We typically remove rails and panels first, then posts. On chain link fences, we roll the fabric neatly, cut and stack top rail, then pull line posts. For wood, we pull or cut rails and pick out all nails and screws we can safely access so the debris can be stacked cleanly and transported without shifting.
4. Post and footing removal: Posts can be set directly in soil or in concrete collars or full concrete piers. We use pullers, digging bars, and sometimes small equipment to remove these, depending on depth and fence age. Where posts shear off at ground level, we dig or break out concrete so you are not left with hidden hazards.
5. Cleanup and haul away: All materials are loaded into trailers or trucks, not piled in your yard. We rake the fence line for sharp metal, broken glass, and nails. For gravel or concrete chunks, we collect and remove them so you can mow or regrade safely.
Throughout the job, we keep vehicle and equipment traffic to defined paths to reduce ruts in soft Benton clay soils, especially after heavy rain.
Every fence removal project is a little different, and pricing reflects that. Legendary Fence Company Benton provides written estimates that explain what drives your specific cost so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Key factors that influence pricing:
β’ Fence length and height: More linear footage and taller fences mean more material to tear down and haul away. A 200 foot backyard fence is a different job from a short enclosure around an AC unit.
β’ Type of material: Light, dry wood generally removes faster than heavy, wet, pressure treated lumber or steel posts in thick concrete. Chain link with barbed wire, privacy slats, or welded gates takes more labor to cut up and handle.
β’ Post foundations: Posts set in soil only are quicker to pull than posts embedded in large concrete footings. Older fences often have irregular or oversized footings that require extra digging or breaking.
β’ Access and terrain: If we can back a trailer close to the fence line, removal is more efficient. Tight side yards, steep grades, retaining walls, or fences backing up to creeks or wooded areas take more time and planning.
β’ Debris volume and disposal fees: Landfill and recycling facility charges in our region are based on weight and type of material. A full perimeter wood privacy fence around a Benton subdivision lot generates far more debris than a short run of chain link.
We do not add surprise charges after the job starts. If we uncover something truly unexpected, such as a second fence buried behind the first, or large concrete or masonry walls hidden behind vines, we stop, show you the issue, and discuss options and revised costs before we proceed.
Working in Benton means working around central Arkansas weather and soil conditions. Legendary Fence Company Benton schedules and performs fence removal with local conditions in mind to protect your property and keep the job on track.
Heavy rains can turn yards into soft mud quickly, especially in lower areas near Hurricane Creek or in yards with poor drainage. If we bring heavy equipment onto a saturated lawn, we risk deep ruts and damage. When possible, we time fence removal during drier periods or use lighter, manual methods along the worst spots to limit turf damage.
Summer heat and humidity also matter. Rotten wood that has baked in the sun for years can splinter easily, and rusted metal can break unpredictably. Our crew uses appropriate PPE, including gloves and eye protection, and cuts sections down to manageable sizes so they can be handled safely without dropping or dragging them across your grass.
We also watch wind conditions. If your old fence is already leaning or partially detached, a strong storm can bring it down unexpectedly. In those cases, we may brace or temporarily stabilize sections before the removal day to protect neighboring properties or pets.
If you are planning a new fence installation, we recommend scheduling removal at least a few days to a week before the new build. This allows time to inspect the cleared fence line, correct grading issues, and mark property lines accurately before new posts go in.
Older fences in Benton neighborhoods often come with surprises. Legendary Fence Company Benton focuses on removing the fence without starting problems with neighbors or creating new safety issues.
Property lines: Many fences sit near, but not exactly on, the true property line. If you are unsure where the line is, we suggest reviewing your survey or having a surveyor mark it before the old fence comes out, especially if you and a neighbor are planning different replacement options. Removing the existing fence is a good time to reset the line correctly.
Shared fences: If you and a neighbor both use the same fence, we recommend discussing removal in advance. We can meet with both parties on site and clarify where we will cut, what will remain if any section must stay temporarily, and how access will work through side yards.
Vegetation and overgrowth: Many removal jobs involve heavy vines, shrubs, or volunteer trees growing through the fence. We cut and clear what is required to safely access the fence and to haul materials out. If you want to keep specific landscaping close to the fence, point it out during the assessment so we can protect or work around it when possible.
Hidden hazards: Old nails, rusted wire, loose concrete, and broken glass are common along older fence lines. We do not simply knock the fence down and leave. We walk the line multiple times, magnet sweep for nails where practical, and clear anything that could injure kids, pets, or damage tires and mower blades.
If a fence is tied into a deck, shed, or outbuilding, we carefully detach it to avoid damage, then patch any obvious gaps or exposed fastener holes so your structure is not left vulnerable.
A lot of people start fence removal as a DIY weekend project and discover it is more work and more risk than expected. Concrete footings that will not budge, surprise utility lines, and tons of heavy, splintered debris can quickly turn into a problem. Legendary Fence Company Benton handles the entire process so you do not have to.
We are a fence-focused contractor, not a general junk hauler that occasionally takes down fences. That matters, because we understand how fences are built in this area, what is likely below the surface, and how to get everything out cleanly so a new fence can go in without issues.
Our crew arrives with the tools and equipment specifically suited for fence removal: post pullers, saws rated for metal and wood, digging bars, pry tools, load-rated straps, and trailers sized for long rails and posts. This allows us to work faster and safer than most homeowners can on their own.
When you call for an estimate, we do not give a vague phone quote and hope for the best. We come to your Benton property, walk the fence with you, point out any potential complications, and provide a clear written scope and price. On the scheduled day, we show up on time, complete the removal, and leave the area raked and clear of visible debris.
Whether you are preparing for a new fence, cleaning up after storm damage, or simply tired of looking at a warped, leaning barrier, we can remove it efficiently and haul away every piece. You end up with a clean, ready-to-use space without the hassle of renting equipment or making repeated trips to the landfill.
