We Take Down What the Kids Outgrew
Half the swingsets we pull out are in Bellevue and Sammamish — the bigger lots that came with the houses people bought when their kids were five. The kids are at WSU now and the swingset hasn’t been touched since the pandemic. The metal frames rust through fast in Pacific Northwest weather, and the wooden ones develop a slick green moss layer on every horizontal surface.
Most metal swingsets are bolted into concrete footings 12-18 inches deep — we bring a Sawzall and a portable jack. Wooden ones (Rainbow, Cedar Summit, Backyard Discovery) come apart at the brackets if you have the original instructions, or we’ll cut them down on-site if you don’t. Either way, the metal goes to our private King County recycling partners and the cedar gets sorted out for reuse where the wood is still sound.
We sweep the area, fill the post holes with the dirt you’ve got nearby, and leave the lawn ready to mow. You won’t know the swingset was ever there in two weeks of growth. Call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.

Why You Can't Just Put It on the Curb
What the City Takes
- ✓ Loose lumber under 4 ft, bundled and tied
- ✓ Yard waste in the green bin only
- ✓ Metal goes to a transfer station — DIY haul, weight fees
- ✓ Concrete footings? Not their problem.
What We Take
- ★ Metal A-frame swingsets — bolted, welded, or rusted in
- ★ Wooden cedar play structures (Rainbow, Cedar Summit, Gorilla)
- ★ Slides, monkey bars, climbing walls, sandboxes underneath
- ★ Concrete footings — we dig them out or break them up
- ★ Yard left raked, swept, and ready to mow

We handle disconnection — electric, water, and standard gas connections.
Stairs, narrow hallways, no elevator? No problem — we do it every day.
100% of appliances recycled through our private recycling partners.
Same-day service is often available. We work rain or shine — this is Seattle, after all.
All-inclusive pricing. No hidden fees. The quote we give is the price you pay.
What We Take Down
From rusty metal A-frames to elaborate cedar play structures — here's what we take apart and haul out:
Metal A-frame swingsets
Bolted, welded, or rusted into the lawn — we cut what we can't unbolt.
Wooden cedar swingsets
Rainbow, Cedar Summit, Gorilla, Backyard Discovery. We know the brackets.
Slides & climbing structures
Plastic slides, monkey bars, climbing walls — sorted for recycling vs. landfill.
Trampolines
Got a swingset? You probably have a trampoline too. See trampoline removal.
Treehouses & forts
Yes, even the elaborate ones. We bring chainsaws and a flatbed.
Concrete footings
Most swingset legs are set in concrete. We dig them out or bust them up so the lawn grows back even.
Common Swingset Scenarios
Empty-nesters reclaiming the yard
The kids are gone. You want a fire pit, a hot tub, or just lawn. The swingset is in the way. We pull it out, fill the holes, and you can hire your landscaper next week.
Selling the house
Your realtor said the swingset isn't helping the listing photos. We can usually clear it before the photographer shows up — call us first thing in the morning, gone by lunch.
Storm damage
Pacific Northwest windstorms take down sun-rotted wooden swingsets every fall. If the structure is unsafe to climb on, we do the demo work safely (hard hats, tarps) and haul it away. No insurance claim hassles.
Same-day for a listing
Tell us it's for a real-estate photo shoot, and we'll put it first in line.
Disassembly included
We bring the Sawzall, ratchet, and post-hole shovel. You don't need to lift a wrench.
Concrete footings? No problem.
Most franchise outfits charge extra to dig out concrete. We don't — it's part of the quote.
Yard left mow-ready
We rake the area, fill the holes, and leave the lawn ready to seed or mow.
Got a play structure not on this list?
No worries — give us a call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.

Why Seattle Trusts Us With Their Swingsets
A 12-foot wooden play structure with a roof, two swings, a slide, and a fort underneath weighs over 1,000 pounds — and most of it is bolted into concrete you can’t see. We have torn down play sets in tight Bellevue side yards, on Sammamish Plateau hillsides, and through gates barely wide enough for a wheelbarrow.
Standard metal A-frame in an open backyard? Two crew, 60 minutes, gone. Custom-built cedar fort with a tin roof and a sandbox underneath? Four crew, chainsaw, flatbed, dolly. We have seen every variant in 37 years.
We are not a franchise with an 800 number. We are your neighbors — a local Seattle company since 1989 with crews you will see every time. Our pricing is transparent: the on-site quote covers labor, disassembly, concrete removal, hauling, and recycling. No surprise fees when the structure turns out to be heavier than expected.
Reclaim the Backyard
The swingset isn't doing anyone any good rusting in the corner. We can often be there the same day; call to check.
More Than Just the Swingset
When the crew is at your place with the truck, we haul whatever else has been waiting in the yard:
★
Trampolines — frame, mat, safety net, springs
★
Outdoor furniture — patio sets, umbrellas, fire pits
★
Sheds & outbuildings — wooden, metal, plastic
★
Yard waste — branches, sod, storm debris
★
Hot tubs — empty or full, we drain and break them down
★
Old fencing & play borders — pressure-treated, cedar, vinyl
If it's in your yard and you want it gone, we'll take it, above ground pool removal included. Call (206) 722-4285 or text us a photo for a quick quote.

Truck size matters
A bigger truck. Fewer trips. More for your money.
A "full load" only means something if you know the size of the truck. Our beds run 12 to 16 feet long, all 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall, and we often load above the rails and tarp it down. For the biggest jobs we send our 24-foot truck.
More capacity means most projects fit in one load. No second trip charges, no "we'll have to come back tomorrow." You get the same work done for less.
