A hot tub that has sat empty for years, a metal shed rusting through, a swing set the kids outgrew, a fence that leans a little more after every ice storm: none of it fits in a truck as it stands. The crew saws it into pieces where it stands, walks them out through the gate and loads them on the truck in the same trip.
Whatever it sat on, decking, concrete or grass, is swept off afterwards, and when a fence goes the posts go with it.

Backyard removals across Guilford County
Hot tubs and sheds sit behind houses from Pleasant Garden to Summerfield, and a good share have been off for years. Taking one out is about half a day for two people with the right blades, and it is quoted as a single figure.
The path out decides the job. In the subdivisions off Battleground Avenue there is usually a gate wide enough for a hand truck and a lawn to cross; in the older blocks of Lindley Park and Sunset Hills the backyard may be reached only through a narrow side yard between two houses, and the tub or shed comes out in pieces small enough for that gap. A photo of the item and one of the route to the street is all the crew needs to quote it.
Hot tubs are drained and disconnected at the breaker before cutting, and the shell is sawn into panels that two people can carry. Metal sheds come apart at the screws, wood sheds are cut down wall by wall, and playsets are unbolted with the swing hardware taken along with the frame. Fence panels leave with their posts. Everything goes on one truck in one visit, and a Greensboro backyard is left with the deck, slab or patch of lawn the item was sitting on, swept.
Hot Tub, Shed and Playset Removal pricing in Greensboro
A hot tub is $350 to $650 cut up and hauled, a shed $400 to $900 taken down and hauled, with the size, the material and the path to the street setting where in the range it lands. A metal shed with a clear route is the low end; a two-story wood shed with a shingle roof at the back of a narrow side yard is the high end. Playsets and fence runs are quoted as a load, most in the quarter-to-half-truck range, $225 to $500. The number is fixed from the photo, and the slab, deck or footing stays unless you ask for it to go.

Hot Tub, Shed and Playset Removal questions, answered
How much does hot tub removal cost in Greensboro?
$350 to $650 for most tubs, including draining, disconnection at the breaker, cutting the shell into carryable pieces, hauling and disposal. A small two-person tub on a ground-level deck with a wide gate is the low end. A large tub with a heavy cabinet on a raised deck, or one that has to come out through a narrow side yard, is the high end. The crew needs the power off and the water out, or can do both on the day.
Can you take a shed down and haul it in one visit?
Yes. A metal shed comes apart at the fasteners and a wood shed is cut down wall by wall, then the pieces are loaded and gone the same visit. Most sheds are a half-day job for two people. The floor or slab stays unless you want it removed, which is quoted separately by weight. Anything inside the shed is hauled with it or set aside for you, as you prefer.
Do you remove old fences and playsets?
Yes. Fence panels come out with their posts, and the post holes are left as they are unless you ask for them to be filled. Playsets are unbolted and loaded with the swings and slides. Both are priced as a load, and a typical backyard fence run or a full playset lands in the quarter-to-half-truck range, $225 to $500.
