About Our Swing Set Removal Service
Kids outgrow swing sets, but the swing set doesn't go away on its own. Oak City Hauling provides full swing set and playset removal services across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and the Triangle. We disassemble, load, and haul away the entire structure — wood, metal, hardware, slides, and all.
Large cedar and redwood playsets are the most common jobs we handle. These structures weigh hundreds of pounds when assembled and require power tools, muscle, and a plan to take apart safely. Our crew has the equipment and experience to disassemble even the largest backyard play structures efficiently. We remove swing beams, climbing walls, slides, clubhouse sections, and sandbox frames.
Metal swing sets are faster to remove but still require cutting, unbolting, and careful handling to avoid damaging your yard or fence. We also pull out concrete footings and ground anchors when accessible, and backfill the holes so your yard is ready for whatever comes next — a new patio, a garden, or just open space.
The Triangle's suburban neighborhoods in Cary, Apex, and Wake Forest installed thousands of playsets during the COVID years. As kids age into their teens, these structures sit unused and deteriorating. Raleigh's city pickup service doesn't handle assembled structures this size, and disassembling one yourself is a full weekend project.
Wood from playsets is separated for proper disposal. Metal hardware and components go to scrap recycling. We provide upfront pricing after a quick assessment — no surprises on removal day.
