How Playground Removal Is Done
An experienced team can demolish, remove, and dispose of your unwanted playset safely, typically within an hour or two.
The playground removal process is relatively simple, but there's more than one way to get it done.
The two most common methods for removing a playground include cutting it up into pieces using a chainsaw or using heavy equipment, like a Bobcat skid steer loader, to knock it down.
When it comes to taking apart a playset by hand, they will start at the top and work their way down until it is completely disassembled.
If using heavy machinery, they typically knock it all down in one go.
In most instances, they will separate and load the debris into their hauling vehicle parked nearby or a roll-off dumpster.
Next, they will remove the base of the playset (if requested), which is typically gravel, sand, bricks, or concrete.
