Fence removal prices in the Twin Cities
A typical backyard fence line in the Twin Cities is $700–$2,400 torn down, posts pulled, and hauled off. Material and length set the range. Height and access finish it.
Price by material
Wood privacy fence: about $8.50–$14 per linear foot. A 120-ft, 6-ft wood line is often $1,000–$1,700.
Chain-link: $6.50–$11 per foot. Faster to drop, cheaper to dump, still includes posts.
Vinyl: $10–$16 per foot. Panels are awkward, and disposal is pickier. An 8-ft wood or vinyl screen is 15–20% more than a 6-ft run of the same length.
Posts come out. Pads stay.
Residential fence quotes include pulling posts with the line. We don't jackhammer pads, patios, or sidewalks.
If a neighbor shares the line, we work from your side and don't wreck their landscaping. Tell us that in the photos.
When a long run is still a one-day job
Under 60 feet is a short evening. 80–150 feet is a standard Saturday. Longer lines or 8-ft privacy around a whole backyard can spill into a second day.
HOA neighborhoods in Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and Woodbury often want the line gone before a new install. We clear it so the builder isn't demoing on your dime.
