Fence Removal & Site Preparation
Detailed Description
Old Fencing in Your Toronto & GTA Yard Doesn’t Remove Itself — and the Post Footings Are the Hard Part
Removing old fencing in a Toronto & GTA yard looks like pulling boards and cutting sections until you get to the posts. The posts are where the job gets real. Fence posts in Toronto & GTA properties are typically set in concrete that extends 900–1200mm into the ground below frost line. A post that’s been in the ground for 20 years in heavy clay soil has bonded with that concrete in a way that makes extraction a genuine physical challenge — one that has broken many a homeowner’s back and one that requires the right equipment to do without destroying the lawn immediately around each post. Posts left cut off below grade rather than properly removed become obstacles for future fence installation and landscaping.
At CNG Contracting, fence removal in Toronto & GTA includes the posts and their concrete footings — not just the above-grade sections. Complete removal, site left clean, and holes filled appropriately depending on what the site is being prepared for.

Frequently Asked — Fence Removal in Toronto & GTA
Can fence posts be removed without a machine in Toronto & GTA clay soil?

What Proper Fence Removal Involves in Toronto & GTA Properties
Old fence posts in Toronto & GTA properties are set in concrete — the post comes out, the concrete footing stays unless it’s specifically excavated. We advise on whether post removal with or without footing extraction is appropriate for the intended next use of the area. Wooden fence boards, posts, and hardware are hauled away completely. If the fence line runs along a property boundary shared with a Toronto & GTA neighbour, we advise on what’s appropriate to remove and what to discuss with the adjacent property owner before work begins. The site is left ready for what comes next.

Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Fence posts are often anchored in heavy concrete footings that can extend 3-4 feet underground. Simply cutting the post off at ground level leaves a concrete obstacle that prevents you from installing a new fence in the same line. Our Fence Removal assessment determines the machinery or leverage tools needed to fully extract these footings and checks for utility lines (gas, cable) that often run along property boundaries.
