Fence Removal in Cape Girardeau, MO

Clear the Old Fence Line for Good

A worn-out fence is one of those projects that sits on the to-do list for years. Pulling fence is hard, dirty work: pickets to unscrew, rails to knock loose, and — the real headache — posts that were set in concrete a decade or two ago and have no intention of coming up easily. Add hauling the tangled pile to a landfill and it's a full weekend gone. Our fence removal service in Cape Girardeau, Missouri takes all of it off your plate. We pull the fence, dig out the posts and footings, load everything, and leave a clean line ready for a new fence, a garden bed, or open yard.

Fencing We Remove

We take down and haul off every common fence material found around Southeast Missouri yards:

• Wood privacy fence, pickets, and split rail
• Chain-link fence and gates
• Vinyl and PVC panels
• Wrought-iron and metal ornamental fencing
• Farm and field fencing, including welded wire and barbed wire
• Old dog runs and kennel panels

Whether it's a short stretch along a property line or the fencing around an entire backyard, we've got the tools to pull it and the truck to take it.

The Post Problem — Handled

The single biggest question with fence removal is what to do about the posts. Wood or metal posts set in concrete footings are anchored surprisingly well, and prying at them by hand rarely wins. Our crew comes ready to dig and lever out the posts along with their concrete footings so you're left with clean holes, not a row of stubs sticking out of the ground. If you'd prefer we cut the posts at grade and leave the footings in place — sometimes the easier choice when a new fence is going in the same spot — just say so and we'll do it that way.

How Fence Removal Is Priced

Fence removal is priced mainly by linear footage and material — how many feet of fence there are and how much work the posts take to pull. A short run of easy-to-remove chain-link comes off quickly; a long stretch of privacy fence with deep concrete footings is more labor. Overgrown fence lines tangled with brush or vines take a little extra, and we fold that into the quote. You'll have a firm, up-front price before we start.

Chain-Link and Metal Get Recycled

A lot of what comes off an old fence line is recyclable. Chain-link mesh, metal posts, wrought iron, and gate hardware are separated out and sent to scrap recyclers rather than the dump. Wood pickets and rails are hauled to disposal the right way. It's a cleaner outcome for the property and for Southeast Missouri.

Serving Cape Girardeau and Nearby Towns

We pull fence throughout Cape Girardeau and the surrounding area — Jackson, Scott City, Dexter, Perryville, and the rural properties between them. Storm-damaged fence is a frequent call after Missouri's spring windstorms knock sections flat; if a fallen tree or straight-line wind took out part of your line, we can clear the damaged run and the rest of the fence in one trip.

Full Line or Just a Stretch — Your Call

Not every fence removal means clearing the whole yard. We pull single runs all the time: a side line that's rotted while the rest of the fence is fine, a back stretch coming out to make room for a shed or a garden, or the old fence between two properties when a neighbor is putting up something new. We can also remove a fence in stages if you're coordinating with a new install, taking out just enough to keep the yard secure for pets while the replacement goes in. Tell us where the line starts and stops and we'll handle exactly that.

Overgrown and Forgotten Fence Lines

Some of the fences we pull haven't been touched in years and have all but disappeared into the brush — honeysuckle and vines woven through the chain-link, saplings grown up against the posts, a line you can barely find anymore. That's a common sight on rural and older properties around Cape Girardeau, and it's no problem. We cut through the overgrowth, free the fence, and clear both the fencing and the tangle of brush that came with it, leaving you a clean, open boundary you can actually see.

What You're Left With

• A clear property line with the fence and posts gone
• Clean post holes, or footings left in place if you asked
• Metal separated for recycling, wood hauled to disposal
• The work area raked so it's ready for whatever comes next
