The Job
Hoops That Didn't Survive Moore's Storm Seasons
Moore has rebuilt more than its share of homes after severe weather, and a basketball hoop standing out in the open yard or driveway rarely comes through a bad storm season unscathed. We see poles bent at an angle from straight-line winds, backboards cracked from hail the size of golf balls, and bases that got knocked loose when a fence or tree came down nearby during a storm. Clearing that debris is usually part of a bigger recovery and rebuild effort rather than a standalone job.
Even when a hoop survives the weather physically intact, it's common for homeowners in Moore to simply decide they don't want it back once rebuilding starts. A driveway or yard getting redone after storm damage is the perfect time to also get rid of things that were already on the way out, and an old hoop with a rusted pole often falls into that category.
Whatever shape the hoop is in when we arrive — bent, cracked, or just outdated — we dig out the pole, clear the base, and load everything for the haul so your driveway is ready for whatever comes next in the rebuild.
Rebuilding in Moore Often Starts With Clearing the Old Stuff Out
A lot of our Moore calls come in waves tied to storm seasons, when families are already dealing with roof repairs, fence replacement, and landscaping overhauls. A bent basketball pole or a shattered backboard tends to get pushed to the bottom of the priority list during active recovery, which means it often sits in the yard for months after the storm that caused the damage.
We also get calls from Moore families who are simply ready for a fresh start on their driveway and yard after a rebuild, even if the hoop itself wasn't directly damaged. There's something about redoing a driveway or replacing a fence that makes people look around and decide the old hoop needs to go too, especially if it hadn't been used in years before the storm anyway.
If you're coordinating hoop removal around other storm recovery work, let us know your contractor's timeline and we'll do our best to get there ahead of it. Contact us for a free quote. Call or text 405-566-9730.
How It Works
Our Simple Process
Send Photos of the Damage
Text 405-566-9730 pictures of the hoop, especially if it's bent or leaning from storm damage. A pole that's been knocked at an angle sometimes has a compromised footing, which our crew needs to know about before digging.
Assess the Pole's Condition
Storm-damaged poles can be unpredictable since the footing may have cracked or shifted even if the pole looks mostly straight. We check stability before digging so nobody gets caught off guard by a pole that moves unexpectedly.
Dig, Pull, and Fill
Once we know what we're working with, the pole comes out and the hole gets filled and leveled. This matters even more during storm recovery, since an open hole is one more hazard in a yard that may already have debris or uneven ground.
Clear the Debris Completely
Backboard glass, bent metal, and any loose hardware all get swept up and hauled away along with the rest of the hoop. We leave the area as clean as possible so your contractor or landscaper has a clear slate to work with.
Why Anthony's
Why OKC Chooses Us
We Know What Storm Damage Looks Like
Years of clearing debris in Moore means we recognize when a pole's footing has been compromised by wind or a falling tree, and we adjust our approach before digging rather than assuming everything is stable.
We Clear Hazards, Not Just Hoops
Bent metal, broken glass, and loose hardware all get cleared along with the hoop itself, which matters in a yard that may already have other storm debris scattered around.
Flexible Around Rebuild Schedules
We can time removal ahead of a contractor's start date for fence work, landscaping, or driveway repair, so your rebuild isn't held up waiting on us to clear the old hoop first.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
It can be, since a bent pole often means the underground footing shifted or cracked when the wind hit it, which changes how it behaves when our crew starts digging. We assess the lean and the stability of the base before committing to a removal method, and we're careful about the fact that a compromised footing can shift unpredictably mid-dig.
Yes, this is one of the most common requests we get in Moore. If you've got fence sections, tree limbs, or other storm debris scattered around in addition to a damaged hoop, we can usually clear it all in the same visit rather than you needing to schedule separate pickups for each thing.
Carefully, and thoroughly. Hail damage to backboards is extremely common in Moore, and a shattered one leaves fragments scattered well beyond the base itself. Our crew sweeps the surrounding driveway and grass after removal specifically to catch glass shards, so you're not finding pieces of it weeks later when you're out mowing.
Absolutely, and we would encourage it. Clearing the hoop ahead of a fence or landscaping contractor's start date means their crew is not working around an obstacle that should have been gone already, which keeps your project on track. Just give us your target date when you call and we will do our best to get there first to clear the space.
Not really — whether the hoop got hit by a storm or just aged out naturally over the years, the removal steps are the same: assess the pole, dig it out, fill the hole, and clear every piece. The only difference is we're a bit more cautious about checking stability first when storm damage is involved.
