The kids are 16 and the fort is rotting. We take the whole thing apart, beams, slide, swings, rock wall and canopy, and leave you with a lawn again.

Big wooden playsets are held together by a few hundred bolts and the determination of whoever assembled them years ago. Our crews come with impact drivers and saws, take the structure down in sections, and load it on the truck along with the slide, the swings and the rubber mulch if you'd like it gone. Metal swing sets and trampolines are quicker: unbolt, fold, load.
We've removed 24 playsets, swing sets and trampolines in the last 24 months, and it's a fun one for the crew. Metal is recycled; treated lumber and plastic slides go to a licensed facility. If the yard is accessible, you don't need to be home: unlock the gate, and the crew can take the set down, load it and text you a photo of the bare lawn.
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
If the crew can reach the items, whether that's the alley, the garage, a doorman or a door code, they'll do the job while you're at work, text you before-and-after photos, and take payment by phone or with a card on file.

A large cedar playset coming out of a Glenview backyard: a tower with a canopy and rock wall, a long swing beam with three swings, and a wave slide.
Read the case study →Playset anchors are usually spikes or small poured pads we can pull without any trouble. In-ground basketball posts set in a big concrete footing we cut flush at ground level; digging out a large footing is an excavation job.
Yes, by the truckload. It's often more than you'd guess, since a play area can hold a cubic yard or two, and the crew will include it in the estimate if you want it gone.
Most playsets are pressure-treated, or cedar with treated posts. Treated wood can't be recycled or burned, so it goes to a licensed facility. The metal parts are recycled.
If it's structurally sound, sure. Post it free on a neighborhood group and someone may come dismantle it and take it. If it's showing rot or wobble, removal is the safer route, and we're happy to help.
Trampolines about 30 minutes. Wooden playsets a few hours, depending on the size.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
