Fence Removal in Texas: where we work and what we see

We serve 803 cities and towns in Texas, from Houston, San Antonio and Dallas to the small towns in between, across the Gulf Coast, the Hill Country, North Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, West Texas and East Texas.

Texas has cheap landfill space but big distances, so the drive is a bigger factor than tipping fees. Every load goes to the right facility for the county it came from.

Hurricane season on the Gulf, spring flooding on the lakes, and the endless supply of RVs on rural acreage keep the schedule full year-round.

How it works

How fence removal works in Texas

Here is how a fence removal job in Texas runs from the first call to the last sweep.

  1. 01

    Walk the line

    Mark what stays, confirm the property line, and check for buried utilities before we pull posts.

  2. 02

    Panels down

    Boards, panels, and mesh removed and stacked for the trailer.

  3. 03

    Posts and footings out

    Posts pulled with the footing, holes backfilled and tamped.

  4. 04

    Clean line

    Hardware picked up with a magnet, the line raked, and the debris hauled for recycling and disposal.

Why now

Why Texas stops putting it off

Most fence removal calls from Texas come after months of "we'll deal with it." Here is why the people who called last week were glad they did.

  • 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 on the Gulf, spring flooding on the lakes, and the endless supply of RVs on rural acreage keep the schedule full year-round.

Straight talk

What fence removal does not include

Two things every fence removal customer should know before booking anyone, including us:

  • 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 Texas

Every fence removal call from Texas starts with a story, and most of them sound like one of these.

  1. 01

    Installer arrives Monday

    The new fence company quoted extra to remove the old one and wants it gone before they show up.

  2. 02

    Leaning into the neighbor's yard

    Rotted posts, a lean that gets worse every storm, and a neighbor who has mentioned it twice.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Sale prep

    A broken fence in the listing photos costs more than removing it.

Afterward

Where fence removal material from Texas ends up

"Where does it go?" is the right question to ask any removal company. This is our answer for Texas.

  1. 01

    Keep, donate, sell, dispose

    Every cleanout is sorted into those four piles with you or your representative before loading starts.

  2. 02

    Donation runs

    Usable furniture, kitchenware, books, and clothing go to donation partners, and we can bring back receipts for the estate.

  3. 03

    Documents and valuables

    Anything you flag is set aside and handed to you. Sensitive paperwork can be routed to a shredding service.

  4. 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 Texas

A few minutes before the crew arrives in Texas saves an hour on site. None of it is heavy lifting.

  • 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.

Questions

Fence Removal in Texas: 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 Texas?

Same-day fence removal in Texas 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 Texas?

Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Texas. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.

Which areas near Texas do you cover?

All of the Texas area, including Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Texas page for the full city list.

How do I set up fence removal in Texas?

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 Texas?

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 Texas?

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 Texas?

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 Texas actually go?

Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Texas has cheap landfill space but big distances, so the drive is a bigger factor than tipping fees.
