Fence Removal in Louisiana: where we work and what we see
We serve 155 cities and towns in Louisiana, from New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport to the small towns in between, across Greater New Orleans, Acadiana, the Northshore, the Florida Parishes, Central Louisiana, Southwest Louisiana and North Louisiana.
Post-storm debris rules change parish by parish and we track them so your load goes to the right place. Every load goes to the right facility for the county it came from.
Hurricane season defines the calendar: storm-damaged boats, flooded campers, and whole-house cleanouts after every named storm.

Why now
Why Louisiana stops putting it off
If you are on the fence, these are the things that tend to settle it for people in Louisiana.
- Fence installers charge a premium to remove the old fence and often want it gone before they arrive.
- A leaning fence is a liability with a neighbor on the other side.
- Rotten posts snap in the next wind storm.
- Hurricane season defines the calendar: storm-damaged boats, flooded campers, and whole-house cleanouts after every named storm.

Straight talk
What fence removal does not include
The honest part, so there are no surprises:
- We do not install fences. Book your installer, then book us for the day before.
- Property-line disputes are between you and the neighbor; we remove only what you own and mark.

Sound familiar?
Common fence removal situations in Louisiana
These are the jobs that come up again and again around Louisiana. Yours probably fits one, and the fix is the same phone call.
- 01
Installer arrives Monday
The new fence company quoted extra to remove the old one and wants it gone before they show up.
- 02
Leaning into the neighbor's yard
Rotted posts, a lean that gets worse every storm, and a neighbor who has mentioned it twice.
- 03
Opening up the yard
The chain link went up for a dog that is no longer around, and the yard would be better without it.
- 04
Sale prep
A broken fence in the listing photos costs more than removing it.
Afterward
Where fence removal material from Louisiana ends up
"Where does it go?" is the right question to ask any removal company. This is our answer for Louisiana.
- 01
Keep, donate, sell, dispose
Every cleanout is sorted into those four piles with you or your representative before loading starts.
- 02
Donation runs
Usable furniture, kitchenware, books, and clothing go to donation partners, and we can bring back receipts for the estate.
- 03
Documents and valuables
Anything you flag is set aside and handed to you. Sensitive paperwork can be routed to a shredding service.
- 04
Licensed disposal
The remainder goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Nothing is dumped.
Before we arrive
How to prepare for fence removal in Louisiana
Preparation is optional. The crew handles everything on the day. But if you want the job to go quickest, here is what helps.
- Mark the sections that stay with tape or flags.
- Confirm the fence is yours and on your side of the line.
- Call 811 or your utility locator if posts are near buried lines; we will not dig until it is clear.
Equipment
What fence removal in Louisiana takes
The reason this job gets turned down by other companies is usually equipment. This is what we bring to Louisiana.
- 01
Multiple loads, one day
Trailers and trucks staged so a whole-house cleanout keeps moving instead of waiting on a dumpster swap.
- 02
Sorting and staging
Tables, bins, and labels so keep, donate, sell, and dispose stay separate all day.
- 03
Protection
Floor runners, door-frame guards, and corner protection for homes that are about to be listed.
Choosing a company
What to ask any fence removal company
Ask us these. Ask the other companies too. The answers separate a licensed removal company from an unlicensed one.
- 01
Will they sort, or just haul?
For estates and hoarding situations, sorting is the job. Ask how they handle documents, photos, and valuables.
- 02
Can they work with an executor remotely?
Video walkthroughs, photo documentation, and a single point of contact matter when you are not local.
- 03
Are they insured?
General liability, auto, and a certificate on request. Non-negotiable in someone else's home.
- 04
Do they know when to call a specialist?
Biohazard, mold, and structural issues need licensed remediation. A good cleanout company knows where their job ends.

Questions
Fence Removal in Louisiana: your questions
Do you pull the concrete footings?
Yes. Posts come out with the footing so the new fence can go in the same line.
Can you leave some sections?
Yes. Mark what stays and we remove the rest.
Do you offer same-day fence removal in Louisiana?
Same-day fence removal in Louisiana depends on that day's schedule. We keep windows open for urgent calls, and next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for fence removal in Louisiana?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Louisiana. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near Louisiana do you cover?
All of the Louisiana area, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Louisiana page for the full city list.
How do I set up fence removal in Louisiana?
Send a few photos through the estimate form or by text. We confirm what we can take and set up the free on-site estimate, and nothing is loaded until you say yes.
Do I need to be home for fence removal in Louisiana?
Only for the estimate, and even that can happen by phone or text with photos from the crew. Property managers and out-of-town owners do it this way every week.
What should I do before the crew gets to Louisiana?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Louisiana?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Louisiana actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Post-storm debris rules change parish by parish and we track them so your load goes to the right place.
