The Job
Norman runs on a yearly rhythm tied to the university, and that shows up in what gets left behind when leases turn over each summer. Landlords and property managers near campus regularly call us about portable basketball hoops abandoned in driveways by tenants who moved out and simply didn't want to deal with hauling a water-filled base across town. It's one of the more common leftover items we clear during the turnover rush.
Away from the rental-heavy blocks, Norman's family neighborhoods have the same in-ground poles you'd find anywhere else in the metro, often standing since a house was first built decades ago. These calls tend to come from homeowners rather than landlords, usually once kids have grown and the hoop has sat untouched long enough that nobody remembers the last time it was used.
Whether it's a landlord trying to get a rental ready for new tenants before the fall semester or a family finally dealing with a rusted pole that's outlived its usefulness, we handle both the same way: confirm what's anchoring the hoop, remove it properly, and clear the whole setup so the driveway is ready for whatever's next.
Student rentals near OU see a lot of turnover every August, and basketball hoops are exactly the kind of thing that gets left behind when someone's moving out in a hurry between semesters. A portable base filled with water isn't something a college student wants to deal with on moving day, so it just stays put until a landlord finally gets around to calling someone, often us.
In the more established family neighborhoods further from campus, hoops tend to stick around for a completely different reason — nobody wants to be the one to admit the kids have grown up and moved on. By the time we get the call, the pole is often rusted through at the base and the net has been missing for a couple of seasons already.
Whether you're a property manager with a tight turnaround or a Norman family finally ready to let go of the driveway hoop, we move at whatever pace your situation calls for. Contact us for a free quote. Call or text 405-566-9730.
How It Works
Text 405-566-9730 a photo and let us know if this is a rental turnover job or a long-standing family driveway hoop. Landlords juggling a tight turnaround before the fall semester often need faster scheduling, and we plan around that.
Portable hoops are common in rental properties near campus, often left by tenants who didn't want to deal with draining a weighted base before moving out. In-ground poles are more typical of Norman's older family neighborhoods.
In-ground poles get dug out and the hole filled; portable bases get drained of sand or water on site. Either way, the driveway is left clear and ready for new tenants or a fresh start for the family that's been living there for years.
Everything loads onto the truck in one visit. For landlords working against a turnover deadline, we prioritize getting it done quickly so the property is ready to show or re-lease without delay.
Why Anthony's
We understand the pressure landlords face getting a rental ready before the fall semester, and we prioritize quick scheduling for property managers working against that deadline.
Poles that have stood untouched for years since kids grew up and moved away don't faze us — we dig them out carefully regardless of how rusted or settled the base has become.
Whether it's a portable unit left by a tenant or an in-ground pole from a longtime family home, everything leaves in a single visit, no follow-up trip required.
Questions
Yes, and we understand the time crunch landlords face before fall move-ins. Portable hoops left behind by departing tenants are one of the most common calls we get in Norman during turnover season. We can usually get out quickly, drain the base if it's filled with sand or water, and have it off the property well ahead of your next tenant's move-in date.
Not at all. We assess the pole on site regardless of its age or history, checking how deep the footing runs and how it responds as we start to work it loose. Plenty of Norman family homes have poles that have been there since before the current owners bought the house, and we handle those just as easily as a newer installation.
Yes, this is something we deal with regularly in Norman given how much rental turnover happens each year near the University of Oklahoma campus. Let us know your deadline when you call, and we will do our best to prioritize getting the hoop removed with enough time to spare before your next tenant walks through for their initial showing or move-in day.
Definitely not. A cracked base with sand leaking out just means some of the fill material has already escaped, which can actually make the unit a bit lighter to handle for our crew. We will still check for remaining sand before lifting and clean up any loose material that has spilled onto the driveway, ensuring the whole area is left looking much better than we found it.
Definitely worth it, and it's one of the more common calls we get from Norman families. A hoop idle since the kids left for college usually means a rusted pole and a faded backboard, but that doesn't change the removal process at all. We'll dig it out and clear it the same way we would for any other job.
