The kids have grown up, the old swing set has rotted out, or you're reclaiming your backyard for a new project.

Why Swing Set Removal Is Harder Than You Think
Swing sets look simple enough until you're actually taking one apart:
- Metal swing sets often have rusted-together bolts that require power tools and penetrating oil
- Wooden playsets like Rainbow, Gorilla, and Cedar Summit sets can have hundreds of hardware pieces and take hours to dismantle properly
- Post anchors are often cemented into the ground and require digging
- Large playsets with slides, climbing walls, and multiple towers generate significant wood and metal debris
- Disposing of treated wood requires special handling in many facilities
"Had a huge Gorilla playset in the backyard that the previous owners left. These guys came out, took it apart systematically, and had it all loaded up and gone in about two hours. Impressive." — Dothan homeowner, February 2026

- Dismantling — we systematically take it apart using power tools, saving usable lumber if you want to keep it
- Post/anchor removal — we dig out cemented posts or lag-bolted mounts
- Haul away — everything goes on the truck — wood, metal, hardware, rope
- Site cleanup — we rake and clean the footprint area

Do you save any of the lumber if I want to keep it?
Yes — if you want to keep the usable lumber or specific pieces, just let us know before we start and we'll set those aside.
How long does removal typically take?
A small metal swing set takes 30–60 minutes. A large wooden playset with multiple towers can take 2–4 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when we see the set.
Do you haul away the concrete anchor blocks?
Yes — we dig out and haul concrete footings/blocks. This is quoted separately as it adds significant time and weight.
Can you remove a swing set from a fenced backyard?
In most cases yes — we've worked through gates and around fencing many times. Call to describe your access situation and we'll confirm we can make it work.
