The Job
Moore has a history that's shaped the way a lot of its backyards look today. After the major tornadoes that hit the city, including the devastating 2013 storm, a huge number of homes went through rebuilding, and with those rebuilds came new fences, new patios, and new playsets installed for families starting over. More than a decade later, a lot of those same playsets are reaching the end of their usable life, and we're the ones called in to take them down.
We also see plenty of calls from families in the established neighborhoods around Westmoore and Southmoore high schools, where a swing set that went up when a child was in elementary school now sits unused while that same kid is getting a driver's license. Moore's housing stock spans a wide range of ages, which means we handle everything from recently built composite kits to older wooden sets that have been part of a yard for fifteen or twenty years.
Whatever the backstory, our process stays consistent — we take the whole structure apart piece by piece, dig out buried support posts completely, and leave the yard ready for its next chapter, whether that's a storm shelter installation, a new patio, or simply open grass.
Moore's rebuilding history after severe weather events means a sizable portion of the city's playsets all went in around the same window of time, which also means a lot of them are hitting similar points of wear simultaneously. Pressure-treated wood from a rebuild-era installation can hold up well for a decade or more, but after that the boards start to split and the hardware starts to loosen, especially with Oklahoma's swings between scorching summers and icy winters working against it.
In the longer-established parts of Moore around the Westmoore and Southmoore school zones, we see playsets that have simply outlived their usefulness as kids have grown into teenagers with other interests. These structures tend to be older and sometimes need more careful handling since wood that's been standing for fifteen-plus years doesn't always behave predictably during teardown.
Whether your playset went in during a post-storm rebuild or has been part of the family yard since the kids were toddlers, we handle the removal the same thorough way. Contact us for a free quote. Call or text 405-566-9730.
How It Works
Text 405-566-9730 with pictures of the structure and let us know if there's any urgency, such as needing the space cleared before another project begins. Many Moore homeowners are coordinating playground removal with other yard work, so timing matters.
We bring drills, saws, and pry bars suited for whatever era of construction we're dealing with, since Moore's mix of rebuilt and long-standing homes means hardware varies more than in a neighborhood built all at once.
We start at the top with roof panels or canopy covers, work down through swing beams and slide attachments, then take apart the main frame, cutting through sections that have deteriorated too much to unbolt safely.
Every buried footing gets dug out completely, and we level and rake the disturbed dirt so the area is ready for whatever comes next in your yard, whether that's sod, a storm shelter, or a fresh start.
Why Anthony's
A huge number of Moore's backyard structures date to the same post-storm rebuilding period, and we've removed plenty of playsets from that era as they reach the end of their usable life around the same time.
Many of our Moore customers are clearing a playset to make room for a storm shelter or new patio. We're used to working around those kinds of project timelines and can often match our schedule to yours.
We never leave buried posts cut off at ground level. Every job includes full excavation of the footings so your yard is genuinely clear, not just clear-looking from the surface.
Questions
Sometimes, yes. A number of Moore playsets installed during post-storm rebuilding went up quickly as families focused on getting life back to normal, and the materials and installation quality can vary. We've removed plenty of these and know to check carefully for weakened boards or loosened anchors before starting teardown, regardless of the structure's age on paper.
Yes, and we see this combination often in Moore. Let us know your shelter installation date when you call, and we'll aim to have the playset fully removed, including the buried footings, with enough buffer time before the installers arrive to dig.

We can usually tell from photos whether a structure needs extra caution during teardown. Older wood that's been exposed to years of Oklahoma weather can get brittle, and our crew adjusts its approach accordingly, applying less force and checking board integrity as we go rather than yanking pieces free.
