Playground & Swing Set Removal
Remove old swing sets, slides, and jungle gyms safely across Hartford County. Backyard-friendly.
No credit card required. Free estimate. Easy to reschedule.
Old wooden swing sets, metal playsets, slides, jungle gyms, and climbing structures take up valuable backyard real estate, and become an eyesore or safety concern as they age, rust, or deteriorate. TJ's disassembles and hauls them away safely, protecting your lawn, fence, and landscaping in the process. We've pulled up decades-old wooden playsets from backyards across Hartford County, many bolted into concrete footings that have long since settled into the lawn, and know how to extract them clean without leaving a crater behind.
Many families upgrade playgrounds as kids grow or need to replace rusted, cracked, or deteriorating equipment. Others need to clear the space for a renovation, pool, patio, or new landscape design. We handle the removal so you can reclaim your yard. Lawn-safe removal. Professional disassembly. Responsible hauling.
Licensed and insured. We assess site access, plan the removal carefully, disassemble with precision to avoid damage, and haul all materials responsibly. Metal is recycled where accepted. Your lawn is protected throughout. Fast on-site quotes. Fair pricing. Professional execution you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does playground removal cost?
Cost depends on playground size, materials (wood vs. metal), construction complexity, and condition. A simple swing set costs less than a large multi-station wooden playset with slides and climbing towers. We inspect the equipment on-site, assess disassembly difficulty and access, provide a firm price, and you approve before we start.
Will you damage my lawn or fence?
No. We use protective removal techniques and careful disassembly to avoid gouges, ruts, or fence damage. We discuss lawn protection upfront, plan our approach to minimize impact, and take precautions throughout the removal. Your landscaping is our priority.
How long does a removal take?
Most residential playground removals take 2-4 hours depending on equipment size, construction type, and bolting. A basic swing set might take 1-2 hours; a large wooden structure with concrete footings takes 3-5 hours. We provide a detailed timeline during the on-site quote.
What happens to the metal and wood?
Metal frames go to certified recyclers. Wood materials (if salvageable) can go to recyclers or waste facilities depending on condition. If you want specific parts salvaged or the metal recycled separately for documentation, we can arrange that.
Can you remove other backyard equipment?
Yes. Beyond playgrounds, we remove trampolines, hot tubs, pool decks and equipment, sheds, storage structures, and other large backyard items. Call with details and photos if possible, and we provide a quote quickly.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. TJ's is a licensed Connecticut Home Improvement Contractor with full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We've safely removed hundreds of playgrounds and large backyard equipment across Hartford County. Families trust us with their property.
