The Job
Edmond has more HOA-governed streets than most of the metro, and a lot of those associations have opinions about what sits in a driveway, including basketball hoops that have gone unused for a while. Whether it's a rusting in-ground pole from a house built twenty years ago or a portable base that's been parked in the same spot since a kid left for UCO, getting rid of it isn't always as simple as rolling it to the curb.
In-ground poles around Edmond are typically set well below the surface, which means pulling one out cleanly takes some digging rather than brute force. We work the base loose carefully so the surrounding driveway edge or landscaping isn't damaged in the process, something that matters even more in neighborhoods where the HOA has specific rules about driveway condition and curb appeal. Portable bases, by contrast, are usually filled with sand or water for stability and need to be emptied before anyone tries to lift them.
A good number of our Edmond calls come from families near Arcadia Lake whose driveway hoop has been standing since their kids were in elementary school, long before those kids headed off to UCO or elsewhere for college. We treat every job the same regardless of how long the hoop has been sitting there — pole, backboard, net, and base all come off the property in one visit, and we're mindful about not leaving anything staged at the curb longer than necessary for neighborhoods with HOA guidelines.
Several Edmond neighborhoods have specific guidelines about what can be visible from the street, and an old basketball hoop with a cracked backboard or a leaning pole can draw the kind of attention nobody wants from an HOA board. We've worked in enough of these neighborhoods to know that getting the job done quickly and loading straight onto the truck, rather than leaving pieces at the curb, keeps things simple for everyone involved.
Portable bases show up a lot in Edmond's newer subdivisions, often left behind by a previous owner who didn't want to deal with emptying hundreds of pounds of sand or water before moving. We handle that part on site, draining or scooping out the fill material so the base is light enough to carry without anyone throwing out their back in the driveway.
If your kids have headed off to UCO or another school and the driveway hoop hasn't been touched since, there's no need to let it sit there collecting rust for another few seasons. Contact us for a free quote. Call or text 405-566-9730.
How It Works
Text 405-566-9730 a picture of the hoop along with whether it's in-ground or portable. If you know your HOA has rules about curb placement or work hours, mention that too so we can plan the visit around it without any friction with the association.
Our crew checks whether the pole is set in a footing below grade or whether it's a portable base filled with sand or water. Edmond's older established streets tend to have in-ground poles, while newer builds further out sometimes have portable units left behind by a previous owner.
We dig the pole free without tearing up the driveway edge or nearby landscaping, something that matters in neighborhoods where the HOA cares about how things look. Once the pole is out, we fill the hole and tamp it level so it isn't an eyesore or a hazard.
The pole, backboard, rim, net, and base all go straight onto the truck. We don't stage anything in the driveway or yard longer than it takes to carry it, which keeps things tidy for HOA streets and curious neighbors alike.
Why Anthony's
Several Edmond neighborhoods have standards about curb appeal and what's visible from the street, and we plan removal day to avoid leaving anything sitting out longer than necessary. That means loading straight onto the truck instead of staging a pile in the driveway.
We dig poles out carefully rather than forcing them loose, which protects decorative edging, sprinkler lines, and the driveway surface itself. Edmond's well-kept yards don't need to take damage just because an old hoop needs to come out.
Pole, base, backboard, and net all leave in one trip regardless of whether it's an in-ground system or a portable unit. You won't need to schedule separate pickups or store pieces in the garage waiting on a second visit.
Questions
Not if it's done carefully, which is how we handle every Edmond job. We dig around the footing and work the pole loose gradually instead of forcing it out with a vehicle, which is the method most likely to crack a driveway edge or damage nearby landscaping. Once the pole is free, we fill and level the hole so there's no gap left behind, keeping the driveway looking the way it did before, minus the hoop.
Most Edmond HOAs are far more concerned with things sitting out for extended periods than with a quick removal visit. We load everything straight onto the truck rather than staging it at the curb, so there's nothing for a neighbor or board member to flag. If your specific HOA has rules about work hours or notice requirements, let us know when you call and we'll work within them.
Yes, this comes up constantly. Portable bases are intentionally weighted with sand or water so the hoop doesn't tip over, and that weight makes them nearly impossible for one person to move. We drain or empty the base on site before carrying it, which brings it down to a weight our crew can handle without straining your back or ours.
Not at all — that's one of the most common situations we run into around Edmond. A hoop that's been idle for a few years usually has a rusted pole and a faded, sometimes cracked backboard, but the removal process is exactly the same as it would be for a newer setup. We'll take it as it sits, no matter how long it's been since anyone used it.
We aim to be in and out efficiently, especially in HOA neighborhoods where a truck parked for an extended period can draw attention. Most hoop removals, including digging out an in-ground pole, take our crew well under an hour on site. We load as we go so there's minimal time where anything is visible from the street.
