The Service
What Fence Removal Looks Like in Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City stretches across so many different kinds of neighborhoods that the fences we pull tell their own story about each part of town. Near Scissortail Park and Bricktown, property owners often inherit tall privacy fencing around older bungalows that has simply outlived its boards. Further out toward the suburbs, acreage-style lots carry long runs of chain link that have rusted and sagged for years without anyone getting around to replacing them.
A lot of our OKC calls come after a spring storm front rolls through and knocks a run of panels flat or twists the top rail until it won't hold a gate square anymore. Oklahoma's severe weather season between March and May is reliably hard on backyard fencing, and once a section goes down, the rest of the line usually isn't far behind it, especially if the wood was already weathered from years of sun and rain.
We also get calls from homeowners simply ready for something new. Before a new privacy fence or an iron fence goes in, the old one has to come out completely, including posts set in buried footings, and that demolition step is heavier and slower than most people expect when they picture a weekend DIY project.
Rental property owners across OKC's older core neighborhoods reach out when a tenant turnover reveals a fence that has been falling apart for longer than anyone realized, sometimes propped up with scrap wood or baling wire just to hold a dog in the yard. Clearing that line fully before new tenants move in avoids liability and makes the property look cared for again.
A quick call or text to 405-566-9730 with a few photos of the fence line helps us gauge whether it's a short backyard run or a longer perimeter job, and whether gates, old doghouses, or leaning sheds attached to the fence need to come down along with it.
Once onsite, the crew pulls boards and pickets first, then works the posts loose, and finally sorts chain link mesh from wood debris so everything leaves the property in one organized trip rather than multiple partial hauls.
From Bricktown Lots to Rural OKC Acreage
The sheer size of Oklahoma City means the fence jobs we handle vary enormously. A small backyard privacy fence near Capitol Hill or the Paseo district might take a crew under an hour, while a long chain link perimeter on a rural-feeling lot out past Council Road can run most of a day given the sheer linear footage and number of buried posts.
Spring storm season is the single biggest driver of fence calls across the metro. When straight-line winds or a tornado's outer bands push through, fence panels act like sails and take the brunt of the damage long before a roof or siding shows any sign of trouble. A fence that gets flattened once rarely holds up well after being reset, which is why so many storm-damaged sections get replaced rather than repaired.
Older OKC neighborhoods built in the mid-20th century often still have original chain link along property lines that has rusted through at the base, leaving posts that wobble loose in the ground with barely any resistance. That kind of fencing is more dangerous to remove than it looks, since rusted wire can snap back or cut a hand if pulled the wrong way, which is exactly the kind of job our crews handle routinely.

We also see a steady stream of calls tied to new construction and remodeling projects across the city's growing edges, where a builder needs an existing fence line cleared before new landscaping or a pool installation can begin. Coordinating that removal on the contractor's timeline, rather than the homeowner's leisure, keeps the bigger project from stalling.
Because Oklahoma City covers so much ground, we route crews daily through most quadrants of the metro, which means fence removal requests rarely sit on a waitlist for more than a day or two even during the busiest storm recovery stretches of the spring.
How It Works
Our Simple Process
Describe the Fence Line
Text photos of the fence showing its length, material, and condition, along with whether gates or attached structures need removal too. This lets us quote the job honestly before a crew ever drives out and avoids any surprises once we're standing in your backyard.
Schedule Around Your Yard
We book a window that works for your household and confirm by text the morning of the job. OKC's spread-out layout means drive times vary by neighborhood, so we build in buffer to make sure the crew arrives within the promised window rather than running late.
Teardown and Post Removal
The crew pulls panels and pickets, then works each post free of its buried footing, which is usually the slowest and heaviest part of the job. Chain link mesh gets rolled and separated from wood scraps so the material sorts cleanly for the haul.
Full Haul and Yard Check
Every board, post, and length of wire leaves with the crew in one trip. We do a final walk of the fence line looking for stray nails, screws, or wire fragments left in the grass, since those are the kind of hazard a mower or bare foot finds later.
Why Anthony's
Why OKC Chooses Us
We Pull the Whole Post, Not Just the Boards
A lot of DIY fence teardowns leave broken posts and buried footings behind because that part of the job is the heaviest and most stubborn. Our crews dig and pry posts free completely, leaving the ground ready for new fencing or landscaping without hidden chunks of buried footing waiting to be found later.
We Know What Spring Storms Do to Fencing
After years of OKC storm seasons, we've seen how wind twists top rails and snaps pickets in predictable patterns. That experience helps us assess quickly whether a fence needs full removal or if only a section is damaged, saving you from paying to replace more than actually failed.
One Trip, Fully Sorted
Wood debris and metal mesh get separated and loaded together in a single haul, so you're not left staring at a pile of lumber and wire after the crew leaves. Everything, including old gate hardware, leaves the property in that same visit.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
We pull the full post along with its buried footing whenever possible, since cutting a post off at ground level just leaves a buried chunk of debris that interferes with new fence installation or landscaping later. This takes more effort per post, but it's the difference between a yard that's genuinely ready for the next project and one with hidden obstacles waiting underground. If a footing is unusually deep or reinforced, we'll flag that during the quote so there are no surprises on job day.
Yes, and this is one of our most common OKC calls during storm season between March and May. We coordinate timing so the old fence, including any posts still standing, is cleared before your new fence contractor arrives to install the replacement. Fast turnaround matters here since many installers won't start work until the old material is off the property line, so getting us out quickly helps keep the whole replacement project on schedule.
Rusted chain link can be riskier to handle than it looks, since wire under tension can snap back suddenly when cut, and corroded edges are sharp enough to cut skin through work gloves. Posts that have rusted at the base also sometimes hold more resistance underground than their wobbly appearance suggests. Our crews handle this kind of removal regularly and know how to release tension safely before pulling sections apart, which is worth considering before tackling an older chain link line solo.
Absolutely. Many OKC jobs only need a damaged section replaced rather than the entire perimeter torn out, especially after a storm knocks down one run but leaves the rest of the fence intact. Tell us which section needs to come down when you call or text, and we'll match posts and material only in that area, leaving the remaining fence line undisturbed and still functional for containing pets or marking the property boundary.
Yes, we regularly remove attached structures like gates, small dog kennels, and lean-to sheds that were built against or incorporated into a fence line, since those items usually need to come down before the fence itself can be cleared. Mention these during your quote request so we can plan for the extra time and account for any additional material in the haul, keeping the whole job to a single visit instead of requiring us to come back.
Because we run routes across every quadrant of Oklahoma City on a near-daily basis, most fence removal requests get scheduled within a day or two of the initial call, and same-day service is often possible depending on crew location and job size. Storm season brings a surge in requests, so calling or texting as soon as damage is spotted gives you the best shot at a fast turnaround before the backlog of storm-related calls builds up further.
