White Center Junk Hauling & Fence Panel Disposal
Homeowner’s Issue
Seattle’s westside rainfall and the glacially influenced soils around White Center make old fence panels a recurring headache. Wet winters and heavy spring rains swell posts, rot fence boards, and encourage moss and ivy to take hold. Many yards have compacted, clay-lean soils that hold water along property lines and under failing fences, which accelerates decay and creates drainage concerns on sloped lots toward Burien or West Seattle.
Homeowners call us when rotten panels lean dangerously, when ivy/moss creates a slip hazard, or when debris clogs low spots and gutters. Coverage and sun exposure vary block by block — north-facing fences stay damp and shaded, while south-facing sections dry faster but get more UV breakdown. The common needs are safe removal, curb-appealing cleanup, and fixes that reduce future maintenance. We focus on removing trash and old wood responsibly, improving drainage where we can, and leaving the yard tidy so you can replace fencing or let native plantings breathe. Local spots like Highline Botanical Garden and Roxhill Park remind us to favor sustainable disposal and reuse options whenever possible.
Our Quality Service
We dismantle fence panels carefully, sort materials for recycling or donation, and haul away the rest. On rainy days we pay extra attention to mud-free access and erosion control to protect lawns and beds. We don’t use herbicides — only hand removal and organic, physical methods for roots and ivy.
Benefits:
- Safer yard with hazards removed.
- Better curb appeal and clearer lines for new fencing or planting.
- Less future maintenance thanks to debris-free drainage and tidy edges.
- Responsible, local disposal and recycling.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and clear estimate.
- Dismantling of fence panels, posts, and hardware.
- Haul-away to recycling, donation, or appropriate disposal facilities.
- Site sweep and basic cleanup.
Options / Upgrades:
- Mulch + landscape fabric for newly exposed beds.
- Organic weed control and manual ivy removal (no herbicides).
- Haul-away vs. green-bin drop-off for yard-appropriate materials.
- Salvage for donation when panels or hardware are reusable.
Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise and a short window of activity on service day — saws and hauling trucks are typical. We’ll need clear access from the driveway or street and a place to stage materials. After we leave, you’ll have a clean footprint and clear lines for replacement fencing or planting.
Care tips:
- Rake and aerate compacted soil after removal to help drainage.
- Keep new plantings off freshly exposed posts for a season.
- Monitor shaded, north-facing areas for moss and hand-prune ivy to prevent re-establishment.
FAQs
- How long does a typical job take? Most single-panel to short-fence jobs are 2–4 hours; larger runs may take a day.
- Do you recycle materials? Yes — we sort wood, metal, and usable sections for recycling or donation.
- Will you need to pull permits? Usually not for removal-only jobs; we can advise if replacement requires permits.
- Can you work in heavy rain? Yes; we protect lawns and use mud mats as needed to limit damage.
