Three years ago the fence was leaning. Two years ago it fell during a haboob and got propped back up. Last year it started rotting at the posts. Now it is a liability — neighbors can see through it, a section collapsed in the last storm, and replacing it means the old one has to go first.
Getting old fence panels, posts, and concrete footings off a Lubbock TX property involves more than loading boards into a truck. Material type, post anchoring, linear footage, and access all affect the job — and whether the fence teardown and the hauling are two separate contracts or one.

What We Handle — Fence Removal vs Fence Hauling
Important distinction:
Fence teardown + hauling:
We remove the fence AND haul it away
= Full service, one call, one price
Fence hauling only:
Fence already down and piled
= We load and haul what is there
= Faster job, lower price

What Drives Fence Removal Cost in Lubbock TX
Four factors move the price significantly — knowing them helps you get a more accurate quote.
Factor 1 — Posts Set in Concrete
Soil-set posts:
= Pull with post puller
= Standard pricing
Concrete-set posts:
= Jackhammer or excavator needed
= Concrete footings extracted or
cut at grade
= Adds $50 — $150 per post
in severe cases
Most Lubbock TX privacy fences
have concrete-set posts
= Worth mentioning when you callFactor 2 — Fence Condition
Rotted wood:
= Falls apart during removal
= Faster teardown but messier
= More debris volume than expected
Solid, well-built fence:
= Takes longer to dismantle properly
= More labor, more truck space
Storm-damaged fence:
= Often scattered across yard
= Mixed with dirt and vegetation
= More cleanup time requiredFactor 3 — Site Access
Truck can pull alongside fence:
= Fastest loading, standard price
Narrow backyard access:
= Materials hand-carried to truck
= Adds time = Adds cost
Vegetation growing into fence:
= Vines, shrubs, tree roots
wrapped around posts
= Extra clearing required before
fence can be removed cleanlyFactor 4 — Bundle With New Fence Install
Significant savings available:
Standalone removal only:
Crew mobilizes just for removal
= Full per-foot cost
Bundled with new fence installation:
Installing contractor removes old
fence as part of the job
= Marginal additional cost
($1 per foot range per industry data)
because crew is already on site
If you are replacing the fence:
Ask your fencing contractor to
include old fence removal in their
install quote before calling us —
it may be significantly cheaperDoes Fence Removal Require a Permit in Lubbock TX?

FAQ — Fence Removal Lubbock TX
Q: How much does fence removal cost in Lubbock TX?
Standalone fence removal runs $3 to $8 per linear foot depending on material. A 150-foot wood privacy fence typically runs $600 to $1,050 including teardown, hauling, and disposal. Chain link runs less. Wrought iron and concrete-set posts run more.
Q: Do you remove the fence and haul it, or only haul already-removed fence?
Both. We handle full teardown plus hauling, or haul-only for fence already removed and piled. Haul-only jobs are faster and typically priced lower.
Q: Does fence removal require a permit in Lubbock TX?
Permit requirements vary — contact the City of Lubbock Building Department at (806) 775-2087 to confirm for your specific situation before starting. HOA rules in neighborhoods like LakeRidge and Vintage Township may also apply.
Q: Why do concrete-set posts cost more to remove?
Posts set in concrete require a post puller, jackhammer, or excavator to extract — significantly more labor than soil-set posts which pull cleanly. Concrete footings add $50 to $150 per post in severe cases and should be mentioned when getting a quote.
Q: Can old fence wood be burned in Lubbock TX?
No for pressure-treated wood — it contains chemicals that are not safe to combust and burning it can result in heavy fines. Treated fence lumber goes to South Plains Landfill. Only genuinely untreated wood could potentially be composted or chipped.
Q: Is same day fence removal available in Lubbock TX?
Yes for fence hauling when material is already removed and piled. Teardown plus hauling jobs typically need next day or scheduled service for accurate crew sizing. Storm damage situations are prioritized for fast response.
Ready to Clear That Old Fence?
Rotted wood privacy fence, fallen chain link after a storm, or vinyl panels stacked in the yard after the new fence went in — same day hauling available, full teardown plus haul also available, firm price before we start.
