Your backyard used to be alive with kids playing on the swing set and climbing the wooden playset. Now it's just an eyesore — rotting wood, rusty chains, loose bolts, and a hazard waiting to happen.

We disassemble safely, remove all ground anchors and concrete footers, and haul everything away in a single visit.
Whether your playset is in Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Katy Ranch, or Kelliwood — whether it's wood, metal, plastic, or a combination — we get it out. Kids' safety is our priority. Same-day service available for most jobs.
Why Old Playsets Are a Problem (And Why Katy Parents Call Us)
It's not just an eyesore — it's a safety issue. Here's what Katy families face.
Rotting Wood & Splinters
Wooden playsets installed 10–15 years ago are now soft, splintery, and compromised. Kids cut themselves. The structure is unstable and collapses under weight. It's unsafe to keep.
Rusty Metal & Broken Parts
Swing set chains rust in Katy's humid climate. Metal frames oxidize and weaken. Bolts loosen. Plastic cracks. Moving parts seize. A "fun" playset becomes a liability.
Takes Up Prime Backyard Space
That big wooden playset occupies 15x15 feet or more. Kids outgrow it by age 10. Now you're stuck with an unusable structure taking up valuable space for a deck, garden, or pool.
Concrete Anchors Are Stubborn
Most Katy playsets are bolted into concrete pads. DIY removal means renting jackhammer equipment and spending a full weekend. You can't just unscrew bolts and walk away.
Pest & Termite Risk
Decaying wooden playsets attract termites and wood-boring insects. Katy's warm, humid climate accelerates decay. Rotting wood can spread pest infestations to your home.
How We Remove Your Playset
Safe, efficient, and thorough — from disassembly to final cleanup.
Free Inspection
Send photos or schedule a quick site visit. We assess the playset type (wood/metal/plastic), size, condition, and anchoring method. We give you an upfront, all-inclusive price with no surprises.
Safe Disassembly
We carefully disassemble the structure piece by piece using saws, wrenches, and pry bars. If it's rotting or unstable, we support it with temporary bracing as we work. No structural collapse.
Remove All Anchors & Concrete
We break up and remove concrete footers, extract all bolts, sweep for remaining metal fasteners with magnets, and remove the anchoring system. Your yard is left flat and clean.
Load & Haul Away
Everything loads onto our truck — wood, metal, plastic, swing seats, chains, springs, anchors, and more. We recycle what we can and properly dispose of the rest. Your yard is ready for what's next.

Katy's Trusted Playset Removal Service
Katy is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Houston metro, with family-focused communities like Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, and Towne Lake. Thousands of playsets installed in the 2000s and early 2010s are now aging, rotting, and unsafe. We've removed dozens of wood playsets, metal swing sets, and trampolines from Katy backyards across zip codes 77449, 77450, 77494, and 77493. We know the typical setups: wooden playsets on concrete pads, commercial-grade metal structures, and sprawling units that require careful, professional disassembly. We handle rotting wood, rust, pest damage, and all the hazards that come with aging playground equipment. Katy families trust us to leave their yards safe and clean.
Houston's hot, humid climate accelerates wood rot and metal corrosion — most wooden playsets have a lifespan of 10–15 years before they become unsafe. If your playset is still structurally sound, we can coordinate donation to Habitat for Humanity ReStore or local Katy-area nonprofit organizations. If it's too far gone, we recycle wood into mulch, scrap metal frames, and sort plastics — diverting over 70% of materials from landfills.

Katy's Climate Is Hard on Playsets — Act Before It Gets Worse
Houston's heat, humidity, and storm season accelerate playset deterioration.
Summer Heat Damage
Katy summers hit 95°F+ with intense UV radiation. Wood dries and cracks. Plastic warps and becomes brittle. Metal hardware expands and loosens. One hot summer can take years off a playset's life.
Humidity & Rot
Katy averages 75%+ humidity year-round. Moisture seeps into wood joints, accelerating rot and mold. Untreated or aging wood becomes spongy within 2–3 wet seasons. Structural failure follows.
Hurricane & Storm Season
June through November brings storm risks. Unsecured or weakened playsets become projectiles in high winds. After major storms like Harvey, dozens of Katy playsets were damaged beyond repair — a removal call before storm season protects your property and neighbors.
Termites & Wood-Borers
Harris County has significant subterranean termite activity. Wooden playsets in direct ground contact are prime targets. Once termites establish in a playset, they can spread to your home's wood structure.
